Austin Curtright, USA TODAY NETWORK

Despite falling to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Softball championship game on Saturday, Texas softball still secured the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament on Sunday.

The Longhorns (47-7, 23-4 Big 12) are the top seed of the postseason softball tournament, as unveiled on the Road to the Women's College World Series selection show, for the first time in school history. That earned them a chance to host a regional — and potentially a Super Regional — in Austin.

Texas earned the No. 1 spot over Oklahoma, who was selected as the No. 2 overall seed of the tournament. The two teams went 2-2 against each other this season, with the Longhorns winning two games against the Sooners at home.

Texas catcher Reese Atwood was named the Big 12's Player of the Year, as the program had a player win the award for the first time since Taylor Thom won it in 2014. Coach Mike White was also named the Big 12 Coach of the Year for the first time in his career.
