Nebraska Softball Legend Sippel Announces Retirement After WCWS Run

Nebraska associate head softball coach Lori Sippel announced her retirement after a 41-year Huskers career as a player and coach (37 seasons on the coaching staff). She joined as a pitcher in 1985–88, has spent four decades shaping the program, including a season that produced a record‑setting team with two All-Americans and a top‑five finish at the Women’s College World Series. Sippel is a former Husker pitcher, Olympic representative for Team Canada, and a Hall of Fame inductee, and her departure is marked by tributes from head coach Rhonda Revelle and colleagues as she begins the next chapter.

A Devon Park power outage briefly cut ABC's Texas Tech–Tennessee WCWS softball telecast, forcing ESPN’s Squeeze Play to fill time while Holly Rowe streamed play-by-play on Instagram. ABC returned mid‑third inning with limited camera angles and no graphics, and by the fifth inning full graphics and multiple angles were restored, with OG&E saying the outage was a broadcast issue unrelated to electric service.

Texas-Tennessee WCWS Opener Set as Longhorns Defend Title

No. 2 Texas will open the 2026 Women’s College World Series against No. 7 Tennessee in Oklahoma City after defeating Arizona State in the Austin Super Regional; first pitch times and TV designations are still to be announced. Texas is the defending champion and ended last season by beating Tennessee in OKC. Tennessee, making its 10th WCWS appearance, is chasing its first title. The WCWS uses a two-loss elimination bracket, with two teams eventually playing a best-of-three final; if Tennessee beats Texas, UT will move on to face the winner of Texas Tech vs. Mississippi State.
