College Softball Rankings: Final 2024 NCAA Top 25 Poll

June 11, 2024, 12:45 pm Eastern Time

The 2024 Women's College World Series concluded in historic fashion.

The Oklahoma Sooners swept the Texas Longhorns to win their fourth consecutive national championship. The Sooners become the first Division I softball program to capture a fourth title and tie Arizona for the second-most titles in Division I softball history with eight total championships.

How are the top 25 doing after the NCAA tournament? Which teams have risen in the standings?

Here's the final ESPN/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 poll for the 2024 season, plus top plays and players from the WCWS.

WCWS Key Players

Jayda Coleman, OF, Oklahoma

Coleman made it possible for Oklahoma to win the national championship. A day after Florida snapped Oklahoma's 20-game NCAA tournament winning streak, the Sooners' season and their quest for history were on the line. Coleman hit a stunning home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to send the Sooners back to Oklahoma City and keep his college career alive. In the outfield, he also showed off his talent, stealing two home runs in the WCWS.

Teagan Kavan, RHP, Texas

The Longhorns' freshman pitcher stepped up and delivered for her team all season, and the WCWS was no different. Kavan pitched two complete shutouts against Stanford to send Texas to the championship game. Against a pesky Stanford offense, she allowed just two hits and struck out 15. Her standout performance on the big stage was enough to catch the attention of WNBA star Caitlin Clark and Longhorn legend Cat Osterman.

Reagan Walsh, INF, Florida

Walsh had a standout performance for the Gators against Oklahoma in Game 1 of the semifinals. He had four RBIs, including a three-run home run to help Florida defeat the Sooners. He concluded the WCWS with five RBI and two home runs. Thanks to her performance, she was named to the 2024 All-Tournament Team.

WCWS Best Plays

Kendra Falby hits inside-the-park home run

Falby played a big role in Florida's postseason success. Against Oklahoma, he hit just the third inside-the-park home run in WCWS history, the first since 2014.

Mia Scott takes a 78 mph hit

No shot is too difficult for Scott to catch. She demonstrated it with this hold that prevented the Gators from reaching the base.

78mph? no problem for @miakscottt 😏
