Texas Claims First SEC Softball Title as Teagan Kavan Shines

The victory boosts the defending champion’s push for a top NCAA seed ahead of Sunday’s selection show.

Overview

  • Texas, which beat Alabama 7-1 on Saturday, secured its first SEC tournament crown behind Teagan Kavan’s complete game with 12 strikeouts and three hits allowed.
  • Kavan was named tournament MVP after settling in following a first-inning homer and punching out back-to-back batters to escape a bases-loaded jam in the fourth.
  • Florida State edged Virginia Tech 2-1 to win the ACC title as Jazzy Francik struck out six, giving the Seminoles their 20th postseason crown and the league’s automatic NCAA berth.
  • Arizona State stunned top-seeded Texas Tech 4-0 for the Big 12 championship, with Kenzie Brown firing a two-hit shutout to clinch the conference’s automatic bid.
  • Texas State routed Coastal Carolina to reach the Sun Belt final, then fell 3-2 to South Alabama and now awaits Sunday night’s NCAA selection with a No. 31 RPI.
