OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – Tenth-seeded Duke is set to face second-seeded Oklahoma
on Thursday at 2:30 p.m. (ET) in its opening game of the 2024 Women's College
World Series (WCWS) at Devon Park.

The Blue Devils (52-7) are making their first appearance in program history at
the WCWS. Duke advanced to the WCWS after defeating seventh-seeded Missouri in a
best-of-three series. The Blue Devils opened the weekend with a 6-3 victory over
the Tigers, before falling 3-1 on Saturday to force a winner-take-all game
three. Duke then bounced back to win 4-3 in nine innings on Sunday to punch its
ticket to Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma (54-6) is coming off a two-game sweep over 15th-seeded Florida State in
the NCAA Norman Super Regional. The Sooners run-ruled the Seminoles, 11-3, in
the opening game before clinching the series with a 4-2 victory on Friday.
Oklahoma is vying to become the first softball program to win four straight NCAA
titles.

HOW TO FOLLOW
Thursday's game is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. (ET)/1:30 p.m. (CT). The contest will
be broadcast on ESPN with Kevin Brown and Amanda Scarborough on the call. Alyssa
Lang will serve as the field reporter. Live stats will be available through
NCAA.com
