Who will win Stanford vs. Oklahoma State? Women's College World Series predictions, odds
As the 2024 Women's College World Series enters its second day, the intensity ramps up with the start of the elimination games. Day 1 of the tournament did not turn out as expected for No. 5 Oklahoma State and No. 8 Stanford and now they find themselves in a win-or-go-home game on Friday at Devon Park.
In a tense matchup, the No. 5 seed Oklahoma State faced off against the No. 4 seed Florida Gators. Oklahoma State's pitcher, All-American Lexi Kilfoyl, delivered an outstanding performance with a no-hitter through the fifth, showcasing her exceptional skill. However, a home run by Katie Kistler secured a 1-0 victory for the Florida Gators.
The No. 8 seed Stanford Cardinal, led by the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Nijaree Canady, faced the top-seeded Texas Longhorns in Game 1 of the WCWS. Despite Canady's impressive performance, the Longhorns took a 4-0 win to advance to Saturday, forcing Standford to a quick turnaround game on Friday.

Heartland College Sports: Oklahoma State
Staff writes: "Oklahoma State found itself on the wrong end of a 1-0 game on Thursday night, and in what was an underrated performance from Lexi Kilfoyl, the Pokes had every chance to win that game. In fact, a deep fly ball from Lexi McDonald was mere inches from tying the game late. Nonetheless, that heartbreaking loss mirrored Stanford’s disappointment in a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Texas. This game will be emotional, intense, and filled with nail-biting moments."
