NORMAN, Okla. - This afternoon at 1:30 p.m. CT, Oklahoma's SS/1B Lisa Carey will stop by to take your questions.

Carey, a senior out of Topeka, Kan., has hit .400 in the last eight games with 10 runs scored, two homers and eight RBIs. But more importantly, she has gotten clutch hits to rally OU and carries a nine-game hitting streak into the Women's College World Series. Carey's two-run single was the difference against Texas Tech to put OU in the semi-finals of the Big 12 tournament. In the first game against Washington, her solo home run closed the gap on the Huskies' 2-0 lead and eventually was the difference as the Sooners won 3-2 to advance to the finals where they eventually won 10-2.

With a perfect run through the NCAA Region 5 tournament, fifth-ranked Oklahoma (49-7) will have a chance to defend its 2000 national championship when it returns to the Women's College World Series for the second time in as many years.

The Sooners will be the No. 5 seed and face fourth-seeded Michigan in the opening round. OU trails the Maize and Blue in the all-time series 9-3. The two teams last met in 1998 NFCA Leadoff Classic which the Wolverines won 7-3. OU's last win came in 1996 when it shut out UM 5-0 at the Arizona Hillenbrand Tournament.

Carey won't be dropping by until 1:30 p.m. CT on Wednesday, but feel free to fire off your questions here. We'll save them until we get started.
