Madness vibes in the middle of May? Well, you can now. That’s because a tremendous Cinderella story is shaping up in the world of college softball. In fact, something happened on Sunday that had never happened before in NCAA Division I women’s softball history.

Liberty University softball fans gathered in a sea of red and blue Wednesday morning, braving the rain to send off their team with enthusiasm.

Once upon a diamond, a tale began. The post Liberty University Stun Texas A&M to Create History as Rachel Roupe Scripts Softball Cinderella Story appeared first on EssentiallySports.

The Flames knew 2025 should’ve been a season of reclaiming a regionals victory instead of continuing to seek their first one. After a 10-5 victory over Marist on May 16, Liberty matched up against Texas A&M for the first time in the tournament the following day.

Some call it the biggest upset in softball history, and maybe it was. It certainly turned the softball world on its head. A&M’s loss shows that mid-majors can rise up in college softball.

It wasn't perfection, but it was the perfect ending for Kaylor West and Liberty Creek in the TSSAA softball state championships.

Liberty shocked the NCAA softball tournament by defeating No. 1 seed Texas A&M, but it's not satisfied heading to Oregon in the super regionals.
