Softball: No. 6 Texas defeats No. 3 Alabama, 7-1, wins SEC Tournament

Behind a complete game in the circle from Teagan Kavan, No. 6 Texas thumped No. 3 Alabama, 7-1, to win the championship game of the SEC Tournament at John Cropp Stadium in Lexington, Ky., on Saturday.

The Longhorns, who entered the tournament as the No. 4 seed, defeated Ole Miss and No. 12 Georgia to reach the title game. Mike White’s club avenged a road series loss to the Crimson Tide in early April thanks in large part to Kavan, who scattered three hits, walked one and struck out 12 en route to the program’s first SEC Tournament crown.

Texas (42-10) was led offensively by Katie Stewart. The SEC Player of the Year went 3-for-5 with two RBI, two runs scored and a solo home run, which capped the scoring in the top of the sixth.

Alabama (49-7) took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first on an Alexis Pupillo solo home run. Kavan, however, buckled down and allowed only two hits the rest of the way, while the Longhorns scored seven consecutive runs, including a three-run fourth inning.

Texas, which stayed at McCombs Field in the first two rounds of the postseason in 2025 on its way to winning the national championship. White’s Longhorns will learn their national seed and path back to Oklahoma City for what would be a third consecutive trip to the Women’s College World Series on Sunday, when the NCAA Tournament field is revealed.
