Oklahoma softball team 'united in faith' wins College World Series: 'God has great things in store'

An Oklahoma Sooners softball player is speaking out after her team went viral for sharing their message of faith leading up to the team securing its third consecutive national title. 

Infielder Grace Lyons joined “America’s Newsroom” to discuss how her team has used faith to play a central role in the players’ victories and perseverance on and off the field. 

“At this high level, there’s a lot that is expected of us,” Lyons told host Dana Perino Tuesday. “There’s so much work that goes in, and the team really has to rally around each other, and the coolest thing is that we’re united in faith.”
