Oklahoma State has lost 11 of its last 13 games, including its latest, falling to Kansas on Friday in the Big 12 Tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A familiar foe will be a part of the Stillwater regional this weekend. Wichita State, who has beaten OSU twice this season, is set to come to Stillwater, along with Nebraska and UMBC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Shockers\u2019 main star is Sydney McKinney. She has a .519 batting average with five home runs and 32 RBIs. McKinney was recently named a top 10 finalist for 2023 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wichita State is a force to be reckoned with on offense. The Sockers are No. 5 in team batting average, including six players batting over .300 this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By earning a top-8 seed the Cowgirls will host a Super Regional if they advance. Should OSU win its regional, they will be paired with the winner of the Fayetteville Regional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 11-seeded Arkansas Razorbacks host that regional, and will take on Harvard, Notre Dame and Oregon for a spot in the Super Regionals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Cowgirls opening game in the regional will be on Friday at 3 p.m. against UMBC at Cowgirl Stadium.
