UT has made five Women’s College World Series (WCWS) appearances, five NCAA Super Regional trips and 20 NCAA Regional appearances. Texas has advanced to NCAA Regional play 15 consecutive years entering the 2021 season (2005-19 - there was no 2020 event because of the COVID-19 pandemic). The Longhorns have finished with a record of .500 or better for the last 16 years. The last time UT ended a campaign below .500 was in 2004, when its record was 24-25. UT made its first WCWS in the program’s second year of existence (1998), setting an NCAA record for fastest ascension to the sport’s marquee event. Texas’ Big 12 Conference regular season championship in 2010 extended a streak at UT in which every fresh- man class from 1999-2010 won at least one Big 12 title during its four years on the Forty Acres. Texas owns four Big 12 Conference regular-season crowns (2002, 2003, 2006 and 2010), second most in the league, and added four postseason Big 12 Championship titles (1999, 2002, 2003 and 2005). Texas is one of just 11 schools to qualify for the WCWS five or more times in the last 23 years. Texas holds an all-time regular season record of 255-148 (.633) in Big 12 play, the second-highest winning percentage in the history of Big 12 regular-season competition. UT claims two Olympic gold medalists (Cat Osterman, 2004, USA, and Christa Williams, 1996 and 2000, USA) and a total of nine national and junior national team members. The Longhorns
