There was nothing else for Ally Carda to do but walk out of the circle. The senior pitcher had just thrown the last pitch of her collegiate career for UCLA softball.

Redemption was the word for UCLA softball.
Despite heading into the game as the lower seed, No. 7 UCLA (51-10) was able to come away with the 7-1 victory over its Pac-12 foe No.

For a team that was favored going into the NCAA Regional, No. 7 seed UCLA softball did not disappoint.
UCLA swept its three opponents, Cal State Northridge, Texas and San Diego State, to win the Los Angeles regional in decided fashion, outscoring the competition 21-2 over the weekend and advancing to the NCAA Super Regional.

Senior pitcher Ally Carda threw her arms up and put her hands behind her head, as her chin sunk to her chest. There was no need to see the ball fly over the left field wall.

The first two were fellow quarterbacks who were given the chance to lead off UCLA football’s Spring Showcase.

Although UCLA softball is reaching the end of its Pac-12 conference play, coach Kelly Inouye-Perez is still shaking things up for her squad.
Even heading into the series on a four-game winning streak, Inouye-Perez decided to utilize two brand new lineups this weekend as No.

There is a flow about their actions, a sense of regality. Each step filled with equal parts of elegance and precision. They float across the stage, leaping from one side to the other, with quick feet and graceful execution.
