OKLAHOMA CITY — The final game of the 2025 season was one to forget for NiJaree Canady in the Texas Tech softball team's Game 3 loss to Texas in the championship of the Women's College World Series .

Canady went to the circle for the third straight day against the Longhorns and got roughed up from the jump. Texas plated five runs in the bottom of the first and cruised to a 10-4 win to claim the national championship.

Canady had been stellar all season but the Longhorns were on her out the gate on Friday at Devon Park. She got through the first inning but not before surrendering five runs (all earned) on five hits and two strikeouts.

It was just the second time in Canady's career she allowed five earned runs, the first coming back in the 2024 Super Regionals against LSU.
