The Sooners roll into the Big 12 conference tournament on a 41-game winning streak, tied for the second-longest win streak in DI softball history.

UCLA, Florida State and Tennessee hold their ground at Nos. 2-4. Washington slides in at No. 5, up four spots from last week after winning two of three against Stanford. The Cardinal still move up a spot to No. 6 despite the weekend series loss, right behind the Huskies.

Baylor is this week's biggest riser, up five positions to No. 16 after sweeping Texas in Austin. See the full May 9 poll below.
