First-time champs Texas unanimous No. 1 in final 2025 NFCA/GoRout DI Top 25 Coaches Poll

 LOUISVILLE, Ky. – First-time national champion Texas is the unanimous No. 1 team in the final 2025 NFCA/GoRout Division I Top 25 Coaches Poll. The Longhorns (56-12) edged out Texas Tech in a three-game Championship Series to complete a 10-2 postseason run and win the softball program’s first title in its 28-year history.

Texas’ postseason included a sweep of the Austin Super Regional, knocking off Eastern Illinois, Michigan and UCF before coming out on top of a hard-fought three-game Super Regional tilt against No. 11 seed Clemson, winning the final two contests 7-5 in 10 innings and 6-5. A 3-0 start at the Women’s College World Series advanced the Longhorns to their third Championship Series in four years. After splitting a pair of one-run affairs with the 12th-seeded Red Raiders, Texas jumped out to a 10-0 advantage after four innings and defeated Texas Tech 10-4 for the national championship.

The sixth-seeded Longhorns are the second-lowest-seeded team to win a WCWS and the first SEC softball program to win since Florida went back-to-back in 2014 and 2015. Their 56th and final victory of 2025 set a new single-season program record for wins, surpassing the previous mark of 55 set by the 2004 and 2006 squads.
