Huskers’ Season Ends at Women’s College World Series

Written byPaige Trutna

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.

  • Nebraska ended its season with a 52-8 record. The 52 victories tied for most wins in program history, while the .867 winning percentage is the highest in school history.
  • NU finished in a tie for fifth place at the WCWS, which marked the program’s highest finish since 2002.
  • The Huskers fell to 9-16 all-time at the Women’s College World Series and 75-60 in the NCAA Tournament.
  • Nebraska scored at least one run in all 60 games in 2026, marking the first time in program history the Huskers had never been shut out in a season.
  • The Huskers finished the season with a school-record 509 strikeouts while ranking second in doubles, home runs, extra-base hits, RBIs and slugging percentage.
  • Jordy Frahm led off the game with a home run, her 20th of the season. Frahm is the first Husker to have two 20-home run seasons, as she hit a school-record 23 home runs. Her 43 career home runs rank seventh in school history.
  • Frahm finished the year with 20 home runs and 21 victories. There have been only six 20-20 seasons in NCAA Division I history, and Frahm is the first player in NCAA Division I history to have two seasons with 20 home runs and 20 victories.
