UCLA vs Duke Super Regional Preview
Traditionally known as basketball powers, Duke and UCLA meet for a spot in the Women’s College World Series. Duke is new to the sport, and UCLA has seen plenty of success with 12 national titles.
The Duke Blue Devils softball team, which began competition in 2018, has emerged into a fledging national power for the sport. In four years, Duke has won an ACC title a regional title. Duke added that latest achievement last weekend with a 13-5 win over Georgia in the regional final.
“It’s amazing!” Duke sophomore pitcher Jala Wright said via the Charlotte News Observer. “This is what we wanted. This is the best feeling ever. Being a part of this team, being with these girls, this is what we worked hard for all season. And we’re not done yet.”
The Blue Devils face the Bruins in a best-of-three series in Los Angeles where the Bruins won a regional title last weekend. UCLA seeks a second-straight Women’s College World Series appearance and seventh in the past eight years with COVID-19 in 2020 as the only blip for that run.
Duke could complete head coach Marissa Young’s vision for the program, which still includes players from the first-ever team in 2018. Those players include Rachel Crabtree, Jameson Kavel, and Peyton St. George.
“What I wanted for the program from day one was to be playing at the Women’s College World Series,” Young said via the Charlotte News Observer, “but I want it most for this senior group because they’ve been the ones here laying the foundation, putting in the work, and I want them to experience all of the enjoyment of playing at the highest level.”
UCLA notably has one of the most recognizable players in the sport, Maya Brady, because of her uncle, seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady. For the Bruins, carrying on the tradition of the program’s enormous expectations is enough to motivate as head coach Kelly Inouye-Perez alluded to.
“I’m gonna credit the program — it’s been over 30 years of UCLA softball with the highest expectations,” Inouye-Perez said about the team’s latest Super Regional appearance via Sports Illustrated’s All Bruins. “It’s not about me, or even this current team, it’s about the history of the program, and the standard is high.”
