Earlier today, it was reported that Coach Gasso had been missing for several hours, sparking widespread concern among her colleagues, players, and supporters. Authorities quickly launched a search, working with local law enforcement to locate the coach.
The investigation was swift, with police confirming that Gasso was located at a private residence in Norman, Oklahoma, and was in good health, though understandably shaken by the experience. Sources have indicated that the situation was not related to any criminal activity, and Gasso has expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support and concern shown by the community during this challenging time.

Her leadership and dedication to the sport have made her a beloved figure in collegiate athletics, both for her on-field success and her positive influence on young athletes.
While the full details of the incident remain unclear, Coach Gasso has reportedly requested privacy as she recovers from the distressing events. University officials are expected to hold a press conference later this week to provide further details, but for now, the priority remains ensuring Coach Gasso’s well-being.
The news of her safe return is being met with widespread relief, as fans and colleagues eagerly await her return to the field.
