UW’s 2-1 NCAA Softball Super Regional Game 3 win against Utah Sunday night might not have looked as convincing as their 10-4 blowout against the Utes in the first game of the series.

The sixth-seeded Huskies (48-12) have been to Division I softball’s elite eight in Oklahoma City 11 times in program history.
