What a run it was.
No. 9 Northwestern Softball (45-13) dropped its second game of the Women’s College World Series to No. 5 UCLA (49-9) Friday night, sending the ‘Cats back to Evanston just in time for finals week. The 6-1 loss came after an electrifying Super Regional victory lifted NU to Oklahoma City for the first time in 15 years on the backs of now-Northwestern great Rachel Lewis and ace Danielle Williams in the circle.
Unfortunately, though, the night belonged to UCLA’s ace Megan Faraimo, who shone on the mound and in the box. The pitcher struck out 10 batters and hit a clutch home run in the 6th inning to increase the Bruins’ lead.
