2000 NCAA Women’s College World Series

2000 held at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on May 25-29.

Champion – Oklahoma Sooners (66-8)
Runner Up – UCLA Bruins (46-12-1)

Oklahoma made it a year of first for its team and the Women’s College World Series as the Sooners claimed the national title with a 3-1 victory over defending champion UCLA May 29, at Don E. Porter Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City.

In their first trip to the Women’s College World Series, the Sooners became the first team west of the Rocky Mountains to win the title since 1987 and the first host institution in Division I softball
history to win the title.

The Sooners jumped ahead in the title game, 3-0, in the third inning with a two-run home run by Lisa Carey and an RBI single later in the inning by Kelli Braitsch. Although the Bruins would come back to score a run in the bottom of the sixth inning, Jennifer Stewart’s pitching maintained the Sooner’s two-run lead to claim the title.

Along with a local team came the fans as the Women’s College World Series set a new fourday attendance record of 38,102, which had previously been set at 27,553 in 1998. The championship match-up drew 8,049.
