College softball’s most storied rivalry will be rekindled Thursday when sixth-ranked Arizona (40-11, 17-4 Pac-12) begins a three-game series at third-ranked UCLA (45-3, 19-2 Pac-12) to cap the regular season.
These programs account for 20 national championships, with UCLA owning 12 (including one that was vacated) and Arizona claiming eight. No other program has won more than four.
The Bruins have had the upper hand lately, going 17-3 against the Wildcats since 2013, including a two-game sweep in Super Regionals last year to end Arizona’s season.
Thursday’s series opener begins at 7 p.m. MST, Friday’s matchup starts at 5 p.
