Softball probably won't start until around 5
The previous game literally just finished as I typed this (Nevada won 4-1) so the UCLA game won’t start until 4:50 at the earliest (they have to re-drag the field, take the field, announce lineups, etc.).
Men’s tennis is playing right now - I haven’t followed them closely this year - should I be concerned it looks like they’re going to lose the doubles point?
Oh, and thanks for the link N.
Our doubles are strong
We’ve won 21 out of 24 doubles points this year. I think FSU has strong doubles teams so this isn’t huge surprise, but I’d have felt much better taking the doubles point. Keep an eye on Srugo and Dehaine in the singles as they’re the 2 Bruins who were selected for the individual championships.

Bruins battle back to win the doubles point
Meanwhile, USC just won their doubles point. We get the winner of USC/Oklahoma St. should we get past Florida St.

Solid
What a great win for UCLA softball. You could really see the excitement from the players. And how about AK-47 sticking it to her former team?!
I wanted to post a preview of the regional and a recap of the last few weeks, but school kind of got in the way :)
