Regionals Recap
• UCLA rode a 3-for-3, career-high six RBI performance from Delanie Wisz to a 12-1 domination over Grand Canyon in the Regional opener. Wisz blew the door open in the second inning with the second grand slam of her career.
• A five-run sixth inning pushed the Bruins past Loyola Marymount and into the Regional Final. Kinsley Washington walked with the bases loaded and Briana Perez singled in a pair. After a bases-loaded wild pitch allowed Washington to scramble home, Perez tagged up on a foul out to stretch the lead to 6-1.
• Holly Azevedo held Ole Miss hitless through 4.2 innings while the Bruins posted crooked numbers in the first (5) and third (4). Maya Brady, Alyssa Garcia, Savannah Pola, Anna Vines and Wisz all tallied two hits apiece. It was Vines who had the standout performance, leaving the yard for the first time this season with a three-run shot to dead center in the third inning. Vines, who had a two-RBI knock to right field in the first, finished with a career-high five RBI. Her previous career high was two.

Five No-No's
• The Bruins are second in the nation with five no-hitters in 2022. UCLA has now thrown 5+ no-hitters in a single season eight times, last accomplishing the feat in 2002 when the Bruins twirled eight no-no's behind the arms of Keira Goerl (6) and Amanda Freed (2).
• Holly Azevedo tossed UCLA's first no-hitter of the 2022 season and the first of her career on opening night versus CSUN. Azevedo also threw UCLA's most recent no-hitter against No. 9 Arizona on March 20 in which she also established a career-high 13 strikeouts. Her performance marked UCLA's first no-hitter over a top-10 opponent (NFCA poll) since April 11, 2009, when Megan Langenfeld no-hit No. 3 Washington.

Perfection Strikes Three Times
Azevedo's performance against Arizona came on the heels of a week filled with perfection. The Bruins threw three perfect games within eight days from March 3-11. UCLA's three perfectos are tied for most in a single season (1982).
• Megan Faraimo tossed the first of three in a 12-0 victory (5 inn.) over Fresno State on March 3 at the Judi Garman Classic. Faraimo struck out 12 of the 15 batters she faced on the way to tossing the second perfect game of her career (first: vs. San Diego State on Feb. 24, 2021).
• Six days later, Lauren Shaw (2.0) and Faraimo (3.0) joined forces to throw the third combined perfect game in program history in a 13-0 victory (5 inn.) over Pennsylvania on March 10.
• The very next game, Faraimo struck out all 15 batters she faced in UCLA's 14-0 win over CSU Bakersfield. Faraimo needed just 59 pitches to attain perfection for the fourth time in her career (including combined) which ranks second all-time in UCLA history behind Debbie Doom's six perfectos. Faraimo opened the game with 30 consecutive strikes; her first ball came in the third inning. She allowed her hitters to make contact just seven times on foul balls.

Megantron Establishes Single-Season Saves Record
Megan Faraimo recorded her sixth save of the year to secure a 2-0 victory over Utah on April 30 as well as establish a new UCLA single-season record. She passed Megan Langenfeld's mark of five set in 2008. Faraimo leads the Pac-12 and is tied for third in the nation with six saves.

18-Strikeout Performance
Megan Faraimo bested her 17-strikeout game against Oregon State in 2021 with 18 K's versus Tennessee at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic on Feb. 26. Faraimo threw 8.0 innings for the third time in her career to get the W.

20 Shutouts
The Bruins' 5-0 shutout over California on May 14 marked their Pac-12-leading 20th shutout of the season.

Winningest Duo in the Pac-12
Megan Faraimo (21-4) and Holly Azevedo (19-2) lead all Pac-12 starting pitching duos with a combined 40 wins. Faraimo and Azevedo's 40 combined wins rank second among Power 5 duos behind Florida State's Kathryn Sandercock and Danielle Watson's 47 combined wins.

Career Year for Azevedo
Holly Azevedo will hang up her cleats after undoubtedly the best season of her collegiate career in 2022. With the departure of Rachel Garcia from the pitching staff and Faraimo taking over as the No. 1 starter, Holly Azevedo has taken advantage of her time to shine as the second ace on the roster with a career-best 1.11 ERA, 132 strikeouts and 8.15 K/7 rate. All four of Azevedo's double-digit strikeout performances in her career have come in 2022, including a career-high 13 in her no-hitter of Arizona on March 20.

Lefty in the Circle in Westwood
Lauren Shaw, the Bruins' graduate transfer pitcher from Iowa, is UCLA's first left-hander on its pitching staff since Paige McDuffee (2013-17). Shaw has proven a valuable asset out of the bullpen with a mean changeup. She leads the Pac-12 with a 0.89 ERA in her 55.0 innings of work. Left-handed batters are hitting just .099 (7-for-71) off Shaw.

One of One
The Shelly Carlin UCLA Head Softball Coach Kelly Inouye-Perez is the only coach in NCAA Division I Softball to win a NCAA Championship as both a player and coach. Inouye-Perez won titles as a player in 1989, 1990 and 1992 and twice at the helm of the program in 2010 and 2019.

700 Wins for The Shelly Carlin UCLA Head Softball Coach

Getting the Job Done with RISP

Garcia Announces Her Presence

• Washington opened 2022 on a tear, establishing a new season-high of five home runs just 10 games into the season.

Winning Time for Washington

In the 2019 postseason, Washington hit for a .455 average on the way to securing Women's College World Series All-Tournament Team Honors.

Happy Anniversary, '82 & '92 Bruins!
2022 marks the 40th and 30th anniversaries of UCLA's 1982 and 1992 NCAA Championships. 
• Having won the most NCAA softball championships, it was only fitting that the Bruins won the sport's first title under the umbrella of the National Collegiate Athletic Association in 1982. UCLA posted a 33-7-2 overall record and allowed just 18 runs for the entire season. In the postseason, the Bruins gave up just one run in seven victories to sweep through the competition. After easily dispatching of Wyoming at their home Regional, the Bruins came out on top in four straight, one-run games at the Women's College World Series, including a 1-0 victory over rival Cal State Fullerton. In the championship game, Doom struck out 12 and despite getting just one hit, the Bruins scored twice in the eighth inning to defeat Fresno State 2-0. Doom was named the Most Valuable Player of the College World Series, pitching 41.2 of the Bruins' 45 innings and striking out 62.
• After Arizona spoiled UCLA's chances of four consecutive titles in 1991, the Bruins exacted revenge the following year with a victory against their Pac-10 rival. Junior Lisa Fernandez posted a nation-best ERA of 0.14 and was undefeated on the year at 29-0. Fernandez, an All-American and the Honda Award winner in 1992, was outstanding at the plate also, hitting .401 with 29 RBI. Not to be forgotten in the circle were junior hurlers DeeDee Weiman (11-1, 0.51 ERA) and Heather Compton (14-1, 0.67 ERA), who combined for 16 shutouts and 274 strikeouts. The Bruins blew away their first four opponents in the College World Series, winning by a combined score of 29-1 and recording two mercy-rule victories. In the championship game, it was a pitcher's duel between Fernandez and Arizona's Debby Day. The duo matched zeroes on the board until the bottom of the seventh inning. Gutierrez led off the frame with a single, moved over to second on a sacrifice by Jennifer Brundage and came home on Jenny Brewster's walk-off home run to left. Fernandez, who finished the year with 65 straight scoreless innings, was named to the All-Tournament Team along with Evans, Gutierrez and Kelly Inouye.
