Breakdown by school: Washington: 5 Alabama: 3 Florida: 2 Georgia: 2

### WCWS records tied or broken

* In Game 8, Alabama broke the record for largest margin of victory in an NCAA-era WCWS game by defeating Arizona 14-0. The record was previously set by Arizona's 12-0 victory over Fresno State in the 1989 WCWS.
* In Game 9, Georgia broke the NCAA-era home run record in a single WCWS game with four: two from Taylor Schlopy, one from Brianna Hesson, and one from Ashley Pauly. Schlopy became only the fourth player in NCAA-era WCWS history to hit two home runs in one game.
* In game 11, Washington's Niki Williams broke the NCAA-era WCWS single-game RBI record with seven RBIs, including a fifth inning grand slam.

### Post-Series Notes

* Despite having 3 teams advance to the semifinals, the SEC failed to win its first ever WCWS, and Washington continued the West Coast's dominance in college softball. As of 2009, only two teams east of the Mississippi River have won the WCWS (Michigan in 2005 and Michigan State in 1976, the latter in the pre-NCAA era).
