The Bruins have produced many of the best players in softball history.
But a trio like Megan Grant, Taylor Tinsley and Jordan Woolery only graces a program once.
No. 11 seed Texas Tech and No. 8 seed UCLA will face off at the Women’s College World Series in an elimination game Sunday. For Red Raider pitcher Kaitlyn Terry, it is her first matchup against her former team.

OKLAHOMA CITY – The home run giveth, and the home run taketh away.
The Bruins took the lead with back-to-back home runs and then lost the lead on Crimson Tide home runs in their OKC debut.
Megan Grant and Jordan Woolery dominate headlines.
And for good reason, as the “Bruin Bombers” have racked up historic senior year campaigns, with Grant setting a single-season home run record with 40 and counting four-baggers, along with Woolery being on track to become the first player in NCAA history to boast a .500 batting average while hitting more than 30 home runs and plating more than 100 runners.

Jordan Chiles is That Girl.
But Taylor Tinsley is UCLA softball’s rendition.
The senior pitcher has pitched the sixth-most innings out of any pitcher in the nation, completing 215 frames while recording the second-most circle wins with 32 this season thus far.
No. 8 seed UCLA softball (52-8, 20-4 Big Ten) will face No. 1 seed Alabama (54-7, 19-5 SEC) at Devon Park in Oklahoma City on Thursday afternoon to kickstart its Women’s College World Series campaign.
