OKLAHOMA CITY — The Texas Tech softball team needs to score a win over UCLA today to avoid elimination from the 2026 Women’s College World Series today at Devon Park.
The Red Raiders suffered a nine-inning loss to Tennessee on Saturday and must now win three more games to get to the national championship series. The Bruins are in the same position though coming off an 11-0 thumping of Arkansas in their first elimination game.
Can Texas Tech’s pitchers NiJaree Canady and Kaitlyn Terry reel in UCLA’s power-hitting duo of Megan Grant and Jordan Woolery?
