UCLA softball will host its second straight NCAA Super Regionals this weekend, with No. 10 Missouri standing in the way of its first Women’s College World Series berth since 2010 — also the year of the Bruins’ last national title. The two teams met once before back in February, with UCLA triumphing 8-0 in six innings.

The upcoming schedule at Easton Stadium:
Saturday, May 23 — Game 1, 5 p.m.
Sunday, May 24 — Game 2, 12 p.m.
Sunday, May 24 — Game 3, 3 p.m. (if necessary)

The seventh-seeded Bruins are operating in peak form, coming off wins over CSUN (9-1, five innings), Texas (4-1), and San Diego State (8-0, six innings).
