Oklahoma’s path through its first SEC Tournament has officially been set. Despite dropping two of three games against No. 9 Florida in the final series of the regular season, Patty Gasso’s No. 1-ranked Sooners locked up the regular season title and top seed in the tournament with some help from No. 5 Tennessee.

Oklahoma softball’s run through the SEC regular season didn’t end in perfection, but it did end in a title.

Florida softball delivered a valiant effort, but fell just short Thursday night in a series-opening loss to Oklahoma. The performance, though, gives UF hope.
