Yesterday was a huge day in the Bruin Nation, with the Women's golf team bringing championship number 107 back to Westwood. No titles being contested today, but a pair of UCLA teams are playing for elimination in NCAA Tournament games, as well as another team beginning to wind down its season.

The Softball team split their two games yesterday, losing to Florida before routing Jacksonville to keep their season alive. Today's game under way about 20 minutes ago in Gainesville, an elimination game against Florida. If the Bruins win this early game, they will immediately play the Gators again for the Florida regional title, and advancement to next week's Super Regional round, Gametracker and live audio are available, and today's games will be streamed on ESPN3.com.

Women's Tennis will be playing Duke this afternoon in Palo Alto, in the NCAA Tournament Quarterfinals. While a berth in the National Semifinals is big enough motivation, the Blue Devils were the ones to cut short UCLA's season during last year's Round of 16. Today's matches begin at noon on the Stanford campus, with live stats available here.

And finally, Baseball will be playing their final home game of the season this afternoon at 1pm against Cal. Adam Plutko takes the mound for UCLA, looking to win the final home series of the year for the Bruins. Cal will bring left-handed sophomore Justin Jones (7-4, 3.05) to the mound. Ryan's preview and recaps of the first two games of the series can be found here. As usual, Gametracker and a Live Audio stream is available, as is Ryan's baseball twitter.

This is your open thread for today's games. Go Bruins!
