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

Oklahoma softball player Grace Lyons weighs in on the team's win and how faith plays a large part in many of the players' lives.

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."

"There's some unbelievers on the team, but we all truly believe that God has given us these talents and abilities, and it's our responsibility to give him glory and to point others to him on this big stage that we do have at college softball," she continued. 

Several players including Lyons went viral on Twitter last week for taking a stand for their faith during a press conference just days before they were victorious in the Women's College World Series.
