Oklahoma State from a distance
  Despite a first-round exit from the Phillips 66 Big 12 Softball Championship, Oklahoma State enters the postseason with momentum on its side. OSU closed the regular season on a four-game winning streak and winners in six of its last seven contests, with the four-game winning streak matching OSU's second-longest of the season and six wins in seven games marking the second-best seven-game stretch of the Cowgirls' season.  OSU faced the nation's toughest schedule for the first few weeks and came out of it with wins over No. 9 Florida State, No. 23 Kentucky, No. 5 Texas A&M and No. 12 Alabama, among others. An 11-game win streak highlighted by wins over No. 18 Nebraska and Missouri, brought the Cowgirls' record to 15-4 in early March. Inconsistency became an issue from there, with OSU going 12-12 in its next 24 games prior to winning six of seven to close the regular season.
  The Cowgirls are led by first team All-Big 12 performer Ruby Meylan, a Washingon transfer who was an All-American with the Huskies in 2023. She ranks in the top 10 nationally in strikeouts, shutouts and innings pitched and is the Big 12 leader with six shutouts, 16 complete games and 196.0 innings pitched.
  Offensively, the Cowgirls are paced by All-Big 12 honorees Rosie Davis, Amanda Hasler and Tia Warsop. Davis has emerged as one of the Big 12's most complete players as she bats .349 with eight home runs, a team-best 50 runs batted in and a .458 on-base percentage. Hasler, an NC State transfer, is OSU's top power bat with 15 home runs and a .737 slugging percentage. Warsop leads the team with a .358 batting average and has 19 stolen bases.
  Cal State Fullerton transfer Megan Delgadilllo is another solid contributor as she bats .329 and leads the Big 12 with 33 stolen bags, a mark that ranks fifth on OSU's single-season list. Delgadillo is the NCAA Division I active career leader in games played, at bats and stolen bases and she ranks second among all active players in career hits.
  Veterans Karli Godwin, Tallen Edwards and Megan Bloodworth have also been productive.
