Alabama AD Greg Byrne has shared more details on how the Tide will use revenue sharing among its athletics programs.

Alabama Athletic Director Greg Byrne announced on Saturday that Alabama Athletics will fully support the new revenue-sharing model that was approved on Friday.

Alabama's season came to an end in Game 2 of the NCAA Norman Super Regional matchup between the Oklahoma Sooners. The 13-2 win advanced the four-time defending National Champions to their ninth consecutive Women's College World Series (WCWS) and their 18th appearance in program history.

In their second meeting of the season, Alabama faced Oklahoma, a team they had previously bested in the regular season. However, the Sooners clearly sought to settle some unfinished business with a shutout opening Super Regionals victory.

Alabama freshman outfielder Audrey Vandagriff continues to carve out her own lane in her first season with the Crimson Tide.

Game 1 is scheduled for Friday, May 23, at 5:00 p.m. CT, with live coverage on ESPN 2. Game 2 will take place on Saturday, May 24, at 3:00 p.m. CT, also streaming on ESPN2. Game 3 is to be determined.

This marks Alabama's third consecutive year and the 19th time in the last 20 postseasons that they've reached the Super Regionals.

This will be the 11th time in history the two teams have met. The Crimson Tide lead the series 8-2, with a 7-2 at home record.

Alabama softball weathered early pressure from Virginia Tech and emerged with a hard-fought 4-3 victory, thanks to clutch defense and timely hitting.

With elite pitching, sharp defense, and a late-game offensive explosion, the Crimson Tide protected their home turf.
