Texas women’s athletics captured the Capital One Cup during the ESPYS earlier this week.

The award recognizes the top-performing Division I women’s athletics program. The Longhorns earned the honor thanks to success across multiple sports, including national championships in softball and rowing, an appearance in the women’s basketball Final Four, and and top-10 season finishes in volleyball, golf, tennis, beach volleyball, and swimming and diving. The achievement marks the fourth Women’s Capital One Cup for Texas in the past five years, highlighting the university’s remarkable consistency and depth. Alongside the award, Capital One announced a $250,000 donation to Texas’ student-athlete scholarship fund, the Houston Chronicle reports.
