The Oklahoma Softball team extended its NCAA-best winning streak to 54 games on College Softball Opening Day at the 2024 Puerto Vallarta College Challenge on Feb. 8.

Behind Nicole May in the circle, the Sooners handed Utah Valley a 13-0 loss. Freshman Kasidi Pickering, from Humble, Texas and the No. 4-ranked recruit in her class, hit a grand slam in her first college at-bat in the first inning to start the scoring. 

OU hit three home runs before the end of the third inning against the Wolverines.

May pitched 3 innings and struck out two and allowed just one hit before being relieved for Kierston Deal. Meanwhile, team captain Kinzie Hansen and Alyssa Brito hit home runs.

The No.1-ranked Sooners are the three-time defending champions and a heavy favorite to win it again in their final season in the Big 12. They are seeking their eighth national championship this season. 

The Sooners already broke Arizona’s 47-game winning streak that was set in 1997 and added on to the streak today. 

Oklahoma last lost on Feb. 19 when they fell to Baylor in a non-conference game at the Getterman Classic. 

The winning streak started at the 2023 Mary Nutter Classic when Oklahoma beat Cal State Fullerton 8-0 on Feb. 24.
