The Nebraska softball team’s incredible 2026 season came to an end on Sunday afternoon with a 3-1 loss to Texas in an elimination game in the NCAA Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla.
The Huskers finished the season with a record of 52-8 (.867). The 52 wins tie a program record for the most wins in a single season. NU made its eighth WCWS appearance in program history and won its 21st and 22nd conference titles.
Jordy Frahm took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, but Texas hit back-to-back singles and knocked a three-run shot to close out the win. Frahm (21-6) took the loss in the circle but struck out five batters.
Frahm accounted for the Huskers’ only run of the day, as she led off the game with a solo home run to center, her 20th bomb of the season. Hannah Coor hit a double and Kacie Hoffmann and Bella Bacon each added a hit.
