The road to OKC runs through Payne County.
Oklahoma State earned the No. 5 national seed and will host the Stillwater Regional starting this Friday. The Cowgirls will host Kentucky, Michigan and Northern Colorado. It’s the fourth consecutive season the Cowgirls have earned a top eight seed, meaning they’re guaranteed a Super Regional spot should they advance.
The Cowgirls enter the postseason 44-10 after going 21-6 in conference play, winning 10 of 12. They did drop their regular season finale to No. 2 seed Oklahoma (though they earned the series win over the Sooners 2-1) and then fell to BYU 7-2 in the Big 12 Championship.
But the Cowgirls don’t necessarily need to enter the postseason on fire. Last year, OSU lost 11 of their final 13 games entering the regional round only to advance to the WCWS for the fourth consecutive time. Only the two Oklahoma schools have made it to OKC their last for tries.
Things get started with Michigan and Kentucky squaring off in Cowgirl Stadium at 2 p.m. Friday. OSU will face Northern Colorado at 4:30 p.m. in the four-team, double-elimination tournament. The winner of the Stillwater Regional will face the winner of the regional hosted by No. 12 Arkansas.
