Fueled by NCAA snub, Texas eager for WCWS battle with Oklahoma
Texas players celebrate after knocking off Oklahoma State in the WCWS semifinals on Monday night in Oklahoma City.OKLAHOMA CITY — Texas senior Mary Iakopo caught a whiff of something putrid in the air during the Longhorns’ Fayetteville Super Regional victory celebration back on May 28.
The seven other super regional winners all received commemorative hats and shirts before posing with a giant “Ticket Punched” sign. There wasn’t any NCAA-branded gear or signs awaiting unseeded Texas that evening. This might sound strange, but the Longhorns aren’t the ones who should be irate with the NCAA. It should be the rest of the Women’s College World Series participants, especially No. 5 UCLA, Arizona and No. 7 Oklahoma State, the teams Texas knocked off en route to the program’s first appearance in the WCWS finals.
Look, no one’s confusing Texas for a cupcake. Not when its roster includes four-time All-American Janae Jefferson, Dolcini, Iakopo and so many other elite players.
