“I chose OU for so many reasons—the tradition and legacies that people have left here and the sisterhood that is always being talked about. Coach Gasso is one of the best, if not the best coach in the country, and the way she establishes amazing athletes but even better humans is what brought me to OU.”
During her time with the Sooners, Torres added her own chapter to the dynasty’s storied history, helping the team capture multiple national championships and solidify their status as college softball royalty.
