Seven opponents are currently ranked in both polls, including four in the top 10: No. 2/4 (NFCA/USA) Auburn, No. 5/6 Arizona, No. 8/8 Washington, No. 10/11 UCLA, No. 14/13 Tennessee, No. 15/15 Baylor and No. 22/22 Ole Miss. BYU (25 - NFCA) and Arkansas (24 - USA) are ranked in one, while and Notre Dame and Texas are receiving votes in both polls. OU CONTINUES REMARKABLE RUN IN NATIONAL POLLS After going 6-0 last week, OU remained at No. 9 for the second straight week in the USA Today/NFCA Division I Coaches Poll and dropped from a tie for ninth to No. 10 in the ESPN. com/usa Softball Collegiate Top 25. Oklahoma is the only program to be ranked every week of the NFCA poll, 326 straight polls. The Sooners were the unanimous No. 1 in each of the preseason polls. It was the first time in program history OU entered the season as the top-ranked team in the country in either poll. Previously, its best preseason ranking was No. 2, which occurred in 2014 and 2013 (both polls) and 2002 (NFCA) was just the fourth time in the NFCA poll s history, which dates back to 1995, there was a unanimous No. 1 in the preseason poll. Oklahoma received all 32 first-place votes to join Arizona State in 2012, Washington in 2010 and Arizona in 1998 as the only teams to do it. Oklahoma is one of four teams along with Michigan, UCLA and Washington to be ranked in every single NFCA Preseason Poll; the Sooners average preseason rank is 8.0. Overall, the Sooners rank third in NFCA history with 17 top-10 appearances in the preseason poll and are tied for third with nine top-five appearances. Only two schools have more appearances in the NFCA Preseason Top 10 than Oklahoma. This is the seventh straight season that the Sooners have started ranked in the NFCA s Top 10, which is the second longest active streak in the country behind Alabama (12). In fact, OU has been ranked in the top five in five of the past six years, which is tied with Alabama and Florida for the most over that stretch. ALL LOSSES BY ONE RUN All four of Oklahoma s losses this year have been by one run and have come against teams that were ranked or receiving votes. In fact, in each game OU had the potential winning run at the plate in the seventh inning. In a 3-2 loss to No. 2/2 Auburn, Oklahoma trailed 3-0 going into the bottom of the seventh inning but rallied for two runs and found itself with the tying run on first and winning run at the plate as the game ended. In a 1-0 loss to No. 13/13 Washington, OU got the leadoff hitter on in the top of the seventh, but a sacrifice bunt was popped into a double play to end the scoring chance. In a 2-1 loss to No. 15/13 Tennessee, OU trailed 2-0 in the seventh used a pair of singles and a two Tennessee errors to cut the lead in half and put the tying run on third and winning run on second. However, a sinking line drive was caught in right to end the game. In a 5-4 loss to RV/RV Notre Dame, the Sooners had a chance to tie or win in the bottom of the seventh as they loaded the bases with two out, but a groundout ended it. COURTYARD MARRIOTT CHAMPIONS Oklahoma was a perfect 5-0 to win its Courtyard Marriott Tournament, March 3-5. Paige Parker matched a season high with 11 strikeouts in a one-hit shutout and reached in all four plate appearances as OU opened with a 3-0 win over Northwestern State. OU is now 39-8 all-time in home openers with 23 straight victories, including shutouts in each of the last seven such games.

BIG 12 STANDINGS (games through 3/5) After battling to extra innings in the first game of a doubleheader, Oklahoma and Houston did it again in the second half of the twinbill as OU won 2-1 in eight in game two. The Sooners played in a second straight extra-inning game for the first time since April, of 2012 against Missouri and won consecutive games that went to extra innings for the first time since March 12, 2004 against New Mexico. SOONERS SPLIT ON OPENING WEEKEND OU opened the 2017 season by playing outside the United States for the first time in program history, going 2-2 at the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. In the season opener, Oklahoma s rally fell just short in a 3-2 loss to No. 2 Auburn. The game was the first ever season opener between two teams that played for the national title the year prior. Vanessa Taukeiaho hit a two-run single in the bottom of the seventh to trim Auburn s lead to one, but OU would get no closer. In her OU debut, Paige Lowary struck out a career-high 11 batters but walked five in taking the loss. A five-run third inning was the catalyst for Oklahoma in its 7-1 victory over BYU. Nicole Pendley and Fale Aviu each drove in a pair of runs for OU, while Caleigh Clifton reached base in all four trips to the plate. Paige Parker gave up just one run on six hits while striking out eight and walking none. A five-run second inning aided a group effort as three different OU pitchers combined on a 6-0 shutout of Nebraska. Mariah Lopez debuted with 3.0 scoreless innings before Lowary came on to earn the win with 2.1 innings in relief. Parker closed out the game with 1.2 hitless frames. Shay Knighten and Sydney Romero each had two RBI in the win. Oklahoma was then shut out for the first time since the opening game of the 2016 season in a 1-0 loss to No. 13/13 Washington.

Besides the gorgeous campus, welcoming coaches and players, and the hospitable diehard Sooner fans, I chose Oklahoma because it s my home. Every camp and every visit I attended, the University of Oklahoma embraced me with open arms... I can see myself not only growing as an athlete, but as a Christian and as a person. I strive every day to be better than the last, and every day I spend at OU I see improvements in myself and the people around me. Coach Gasso says: Alissa Dalton is an infielder who is very versatile. I ve seen her play third, short and second. I ve seen her do pretty much everything. She s a left-handed hitter that can hit for power and hit through gaps. She is a tough, tough out. She is that kind of hitter that can work the count and get what she wants. I think she s definitely going to make an impact as a freshman.

You can never really square it up and hit it hard off of her because of her placement and the way she moves the ball. She is a good balance to what Mariah brings to the team. They are completely different, but they will complement each other very well.
