The Crimson Tide are seeking their second national championship at the Women’s College World Series this year, but it will be a difficult task for them as the 14th overall seed. The lowest double digit seed to win the NCAA Softball Tournament was 10th seeded Oklahoma in 2017, so the Crimson Tide are looking to make history by winning the title.

Alabama has showcased that they are a high quality team throughout the tournament. The Crimson Tide finished undefeated in their regional and were able to upset the third seeded Tennessee Volunteers in the Super Regional last weekend. This series included a record-setting 14 inning game, which Alabama was able to close out. So, the Crimson Tide have been battle tested prior to this morning’s matchup with #6 UCLA.

The Bruins won their last national championship at the 2019 Women’s College World Series, and they are looking to add another trophy to their collection this year. Although the seeding favors UCLA in the first round, today’s matchup should be competitive.

UCLA enters today’s game on a 13 game win streak, which makes the Bruins one of the hottest teams remaining in the tournament. During their win streak, the Bruins won the Pac-12 Softball Tournament and have gone undefeated in the NCAA Tournament. This incredible run includes two blowout victories over #11 Georgia in the Super Regional, as they easily avoided the upset.
