NORMAN, Okla. — One more win is all the Sooners need to punch their ticket to next weekend’s NCAA Super Regionals.

Oklahoma knocked off Texas A&M 3-2 on Saturday to advance to Sunday’s NCAA Norman Regional final.

The Sooners quickly gained control of Saturday’s winner’s bracket game against the Aggies with a leadoff home run via Jayda Coleman in the bottom of the first. OU tacked on a second first-inning score, thanks to Grace Lyons' RBI double that plated Jocelyn Alo.

Coleman added an important run in the fourth inning, scoring Rylie Boone on a one-run double. That score proved useful for the Sooners, who allowed a sixth-inning, two-run home run from Texas A&M senior Haley Lee.

OU’s Day 2 starter, Hope Trautwein, allowed three hits and struck out two in a complete-game effort.

OU will face Texas A&M, which rallied to beat Minnesota late Saturday and stay alive in the postseason, again in the regional final. OU will need just one win on Sunday to advance to the Super Regionals, while the Aggies will need to beat the Sooners twice to advance.
