Last chance
This year's senior class on the softball team has never won a national championship. That's pretty rare at UCLA, which has an NCAA record 11 national titles. In fact, in the 26 years Sue Enquist coached the team, and this one season Kelly Inouye-Perez has, no class has ever not won at least one national title.
A couple years ago, the senior class led by Natasha Watley and Taria (Mims) Flowers waited until their senior year to win one, but they eventually came back through the losers' bracket in Oklahoma City to upset Cat Osterman's Texas team.
This year's senior class has been to the WCWS twice in their previous three years, but never won the big prize.
About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's fifth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
