However, what was just as impressive as their\u200d on-field performance was their display \u2064of \u2063faith after their victory. During interviews and press conferences, several\u200d players made it known \u200bthat they give all glory\u2064 to God\u200c for \u2064their success.\u200c This is \u2062not new for the team, as they have also given\u200c praise to \u2063God in the past \u200bafter their wins. These women serve as a reminder that it is God who\u200d truly matters. The Western\u200c Journal, where this article was \u2064originally published, also notes the\u200c importance \u2064of the upcoming 2024 \u2062election\u2062 and the need for readers&#8217;\u200c support to\u2062 continue their fight against leftist media and Big\u2064 Tech.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/aaltomari\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/aaltomari\/%20\"><span>Anthony Altomari<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   June 7, 2024 at 10:07am <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>The University of Oklahoma Sooners softball team continued their unprecedented reign of dominance on Thursday after securing the program\u2019s fourth consecutive national championship.<\/p>\n<p>The Sooners defeated the top-seeded Texas Longhorns 8-4 in Game 2 of the Women\u2019s College World Series, capping off a historic season that saw Oklahoma post a sterling record of 59-7.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"OKLAHOMA SECURES THE 4-PEAT AS SOFTBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONS | Women\u2019s College World Series\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UbfFSgiA2pE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As ESPN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-sports\/story\/_\/id\/40296056\/oklahoma-sweeps-texas-fourth-straight-wcws-title\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">notes<\/a>, the Sooners are now tied for sixth on the list of most consecutive national championships won by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-42-of-trump-supporters-support-criminalizing-medical-transitions-for-transgender-minors\/\" title=\"POLL: 42% Of Trump Supporters Support Criminalizing Medical Transitions For Transgender Minors\">college sports team<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, as brilliant as the Lady Sooners were on the field, what the players did after their victory was just as, if not more, impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Just moments after the final out, ESPN reporter Holly Rowe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UbfFSgiA2pE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spoke<\/a> Sooners\u00a0 pitcher Kelly Maxwell, who made it known who she attributed the victory to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew I was gonna give all the glory to God,\u201d Maxwell said.<\/p>\n<p>But it wasn\u2019t just Maxwell who put her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/judge-sentences-75-year-old-woman-praying-abortion-clinic-taunts-horrified-husband-christian-faith-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">faith<\/a> on display.
