Recap
Texas closed it out and repeated. Citlaly Gutierrez and a dominant Teagan Kavan held Texas Tech to a single run as the Longhorns rallied past NiJaree Canady 4-1 to sweep the championship series and win back-to-back national titles. Tech struck first on Lauren Allred's third-inning RBI single, but Texas flipped it in the fifth on a two-out throwing error that scored Jaycie Nichols and Ashton Maloney, then pulled away in the seventh on Kayden Henry's solo homer and Leighann Goode's RBI single. Hannah Wells opened, Gutierrez (W) bridged 4.1 innings on one run, and Kavan slammed the door with two perfect innings and five strikeouts to earn the save. Canady took a complete-game loss.
