Texas Tech took advantage of every hit it got off Texas ace Teagan Kavan , but the 11th-seeded Red Raiders couldn’t scratch out nearly enough of them.
The No. 2 Longhorns topped Tech 7-3 in the opener of the best-of-three Women’s College World Series final, and Kavan was more dominant than Texas Tech’s run total might suggest.
She allowed three runs on just three hits with two walks and six strikeouts in the complete-game victory.
“The game started with a bang, literally,” Texas softball coach Mike White said, referencing the first-inning home run of Texas Tech’s Mihyia Davis. “Then, of course, Teagan Kavan worked her tail off for us.”
Kavan settled in quickly and mostly cruised through the rest of the night.
