OKLAHOMA CITY — The Arizona softball team got sweet revenge on Washington to open the Women’s College World Series on Thursday.
Now, the UCLA Bruins will be trying to do the same against the Wildcats in the winner’s bracket. The No. 2 Bruins beat No. 7 Minnesota 7-2 on Thursday to set up a rematch between the longtime Pac-12 rivals on Friday (4 p.m. PT, ESPN).
Arizona (48-12) won two of three at UCLA (52-6) to cap the regular season a few weeks ago. Before that, the Bruins had won five straight against the Wildcats, including a two-game sweep in Super Regionals that ended UA’s 2018 season.
