For the 13th time in Pac-12 history, the Bruins were named regular season champions – solidifying the program as the most victorious in conference history.
Claiming the Pac-12 regular season crown, No.

A year ago, junior pitcher Mackenzie Ficke was on UCLA’s club softball team.
On Tuesday afternoon, she made her first start at the DI level.
“This team has been incredibly supportive,” Ficke said.

The Bruins will head to the hot Arizona desert with a chance to win their final Pac-12 regular season championship.
“Our team is just so excited to play and show our stuff,” said junior pitcher Mackenzie Ficke.

Wildcat pitcher Aissa Silva was perfect through four innings behind a comfortable seven-run lead.
But Megan Grant and the Bruins weren’t about to allow Silva to go the distance.

A three-run homer – the third of the night – gave the Wildcats a lead they would run with.
No. 6 UCLA softball (29-10, 13-4 Pac-12) fell 8-4 to No.
