Oklahoma State is heading to the Women’s College World Series after completing a sweep of No. 10 seed Clemson, downing the Tigers 5-1 Friday.

Morgan Day and Kelly Maxwell led the Cowgirls from the mound, with Day giving up one run on five hits while logging four walks and five strikeouts through 5 ⅓ innings. Maxwell closed out the game, striking out the second, third and fourth batters in the Clemson lineup.

Oklahoma State’s defense has been stellar through their postseason run, committing just three errors in eight consecutive victories.

Chyenne Factor led the Cowgirls on offense, with two runs batted in, while Karli Petty added to the team’s tally with a solo home run.

“I think right now, we’re meshing as a team at the perfect time,” Day said after the game. “We talk a lot about how the best team doesn’t always win, it’s the team that plays the best. And I think we’re figuring out how we play the best and how to support the person next to you in order to play the best.”

Friday’s win sends Oklahoma State to the program’s third straight  WCWS appearance and their 14th in school history.

Oklahoma pitcher Hope Trautwein threw a no-hitter Friday, lifting the Sooners to an 8-0 win over No. 16 seed UCF in the second round of the NCAA softball tournament.

Trautwein’s performance marks the first no-hitter against a nationally seeded team in super regional history.

It was the redshirt senior’s second solo no-hitter of the season, with Trautwein giving up no hits and no runs, striking out two batters. Oklahoma has tossed eight no-hitters this season, a program record.

Oklahoma star Jocelyn Alo led the Sooners’ offense, blasting her 28th home run of the season to lift the team to 134 total home runs, tying Arizona’s 2009  record for third-most all-time.

“What I feel is happening right now is this team is starting to peak, and that is the good news,” OU coach Patty Gasso said. “We’ve been kind of waiting. We’ve been playing well. We’re beating teams, but we haven’t been at our best. Our defense is outstanding right now. … the pitching staff is on point … we’re feeling it all around.”

Oklahoma is now one win away from advancing to the Women’s College World Series, with the Sooners facing off against UCF on Saturday at 1 pm ET.

Boston College women’s lacrosse mounted a thrilling comeback Friday, scoring with 18 seconds left on the clock to down Maryland 17-16 and clinch a place in the NCAA championship game.

Charlotte North set up the go-ahead goal, scoring her sixth of the night to tie things up with three minutes left in regulation.

Cassidy Weeks then notched the unlikely game-winner with only seconds to spare.

The Eagles were propelled by a series of impressive late defensive stops against an efficient Maryland offense.

“I really give all the credit to the defense,” BC head coach Acacia Walker-Weinstein said after the game. “The goals are in a way the easy part. The defense is the most challenging part of the game. And our defense really stepped up and I was just proud of the risks they took. They took really athletic, smart risks and gave us the opportunity to score.”

Boston College will face North Carolina in the tournament final at noon ET Sunday on ESPN.

The Spirit were sitting on a comfortable two-goal lead heading into stoppage time. Then the Pride mobilized, shocking Washington by scoring two goals in a span of three minutes for an emphatic comeback.

Orlando’s late-game effort lifted the club to a thrilling 2-2 draw with Washington on Friday night.

The Pride broke their scoreless drought in the 95th minute, with Mikayla Cluff making a late run to nod in a Pride cross.

Miraculously, the Pride scored again in the 98th minute, with Darian Jenkins slotting home the late-game equalizer, much to the Orlando crowd’s delight.

The Spirit looked in control for the majority of the matchup, with the team taking the early lead with two quality finishes.

Trinity Rodman inked her name on the scoresheet in the 19th minute, firing a low, long-range rocket to put Washington up 1-0.

Ashley Hatch doubled the Spirit’s lead in the 66th minute, making a streaking run before splitting the Orlando backline, one-timing a powerful shot past the Pride keeper.

Orlando’s late surge denied Washington of its second regular-season win, as the Spirit fall to a 1-3-1 record, while the Pride improve to 2-2-2.

Arizona softball came from behind Friday to down Mississippi State 3-2 and take a 1-0 series lead in the Starkville Super Regional.

Izzy Pacho hit the game-winning homer, blasting a ball inside the left-field foul pole in the top of the eighth inning to put the Wildcats up 3-2 over Mississippi State.

“I took a deep breath and saw my pitch. It felt good off the bat. There are no words to describe it. You hit it, and it’s one of the best feelings in the world,” Pacho said.

Arizona came from behind to take the 1-0 series lead, with MSU charging to a 2-1 lead in the sixth behind a solo home run by Matalisi Faapito.

The Wildcats, however, responded in the seventh, tying the matchup with a sacrifice fly by Sharliez Palacios off Aspen Wesley.

Arizona will advance to the Women’s College World Series if they win again Saturday. Should the Wildcats lose, a deciding game will be played Sunday.

No. 17 seed Leylah Fernandez advanced to the fourth round of the French Open for the first time in her career after defeating No. 14 seed Belinda Bencic 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 Friday.

The two-hour, 49-minute contest was a battle, with Fernandez pulling out the win on the margins, slowly growing into her serve as the match went on.

Friday’s victory lifts the 19-year-old back to the second week of a Grand Slam after her staggering run at last season’s US Open.

Fernandez will face off against clay-court talent Amanda Anisimova in the fourth round at Roland Garros.

Americans No. 18 Coco Gauff and Sloane Stephens also advanced in Paris, with Gauff downing upset expert Kaia Kanepi. The 18-year-old cruised past the Estonian veteran in straight sets, surviving Kanepi after she took out Muguruza in the major’s first round.

“I think that now I feel like mentally I’m in a better place than I was last year, coming into the second week I think sometimes that’s what makes Grand Slams harder is because it is two weeks and there is no other way to prepare for two weeks of playing,” Gauff said.

Stephens also halted an upset run, downing Diane Parry 6-2, 6-3 after the Frenchwoman took out No. 2 Barbora Kerjcikova in the opening round. The 29-year-old moves on to her eighth Round of 16 appearance in Paris, where she will face Jil Teichmann, who bounced No. 15 Victoria Azarenka Friday.

No. 23 seed Teichmann battled back from a set and break down to defeat Azarenka 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7-5) in a thrilling three-hour and 18-minute affair. Friday’s victory marks the 24-year-old’s 10th win in her last 12 matches on clay, advancing her to her first Grand Slam Round of 16.

Mallory Pugh returned to the Red Stars with a bang, notching two goals and an assist to help Chicago to a 4-2 win over Orlando Sunday.

Pugh had been out for a month after sustaining a concussion during the Challenge Cup tournament.

The USWNT star’s explosive second half started in the 54th minute. She dished out a well-placed ball to set up Bianca St-Georges, putting the Red Stars up 2-0.

Ten minutes later, Pugh slotted home her first goal of the regular season, breaking up a Pride pass out the back before firing a low shot to put the game at 3-0.

Pugh added to her tally in the 86th minute, following up on a blocked penalty kick to give Chicago the 4-1 lead.

The Red Stars walked away with a 4-2 victory after a lively end to the game, logging three points in the NWSL standings.

Naomi Osaka was ousted from the French Open in the first round, falling to Amanda Anisimova 7-5, 6-4 on Monday.

The American has an impressive record against Osaka. Anisimova also halted Osaka’s run at the Australian Open in January.

Osaka struggled with her serve throughout the contest, landing only 45 percent of her first serves and double-faulting two break points to give Anisimova the advantage. The 20-year-old beat Osaka in rallies as well, firing 27 winners to the star’s 13.

“It’s tough to see Naomi Osaka in the first round so I knew it wouldn’t be easy,” Anisimova said. “I knew I had to play my best tennis and the conditions were not easy.”

After her early exit from the Grand Slam, Osaka said she is unsure of her next move, but not because of the loss.

She told reporters she may skip Wimbledon after the major was stripped of its ranking points. The WTA announced the decision Friday following Wimbledon’s ban of Russian and Belarusian players due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

Osaka said she is motivated by watching her ranking go up, so if that incentive is absent from the Grand Slam, she may rethink her grass season.

“I feel like if I play Wimbledon without points, it’s more like an exhibition. I know this isn’t true, right? But my brain just feels that way. Whenever I think something is like an exhibition, I just can’t go at it 100%,” said Osaka. “I didn’t even make my decision yet, but I’m leaning more towards not playing given the current circumstances.”

The former world No. 1 did not compete in Wimbledon last season, skipping the major to focus on her mental health.

Alex Morgan is inevitable, scoring her sixth goal of the NWSL regular season to clinch San Diego the 1-0 victory over North Carolina Sunday.

The veteran striker broke the scoreless deadlock in the 40th minute, splitting the Courage backline before firing a low shot past Casey Murphy. Morgan’s finish marked her tenth goal across all competitions so far this season.

The 1-0 scoreline held through the second half as both clubs’ goalkeepers came up with critical saves in the later stage of the matchup.

San Diego’s victory keeps the team atop the NWSL standings with 10 points behind a 4-0-1 record on the season. The Courage, on the other hand, has yet to win a match since claiming the NWSL Challenge Cup title, falling to last in the league table after recording three-straight losses.

Next up: The Wave will return to the west coast to face off against OL Reign at Lumen Field on Sunday at 3 pm ET.

Kaia Kanepi once again knocked out a Top 10 seed from a Grand Slam, bouncing No. 10 seed Garbiñe Muguruza from the first round of the French Open.

Sunday’s 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 win is Kanepi’s 19th career victory against a seeded player in the first three rounds of a Grand Slam.

The Estonian star has notched ten major wins against Top 10 players throughout her career. Before Roland Garros, Kanepi took out then-World No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka at the Australian Open to advance to her seventh Grand Slam quarterfinal.

“It’s not easy to play a tough opponent in the first round, but I think I enjoy playing Grand Slams more and I think the motivation is higher than smaller tournaments,” said Kanepi. “I try to be more focused and not too emotional when I play in Slams.”

At 37 years old, Kanepi is the oldest competitor in the French Open’s main draw, advancing to take on Beatriz Haddad Maia in Round 2.
