2010 held at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on June 3 – June 8.

Champion – UCLA Bruins (50-11)
Runner Up – Arizona Wildcats (52-14)

The Bruins set numerous school and Women’s College World Series records en route to their 12th national title and 11th NCAA championship. After steamrolling through Regionals and Super Regionals with a 5-0 record, UCLA won all five games in Oklahoma City.

The WCWS run began with a 16-3 demolition of Florida, which marked the most runs scored in any UCLA postseason game. Consecutive 5-2 victories over Hawai’i and Georgia pushed the Bruins to the WCWS Championship Series, where they faced longtime rival Arizona.

Game one of the finals was an instant classic, as the game featured six ties and lead changes. Trailing 5-4 with two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Dani Yudin reached second following a miscommunication in the Arizona outfield and Kaila Shull drove in the game-tying run with another double to send it into extra innings.

Megan Langenfeld, who was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, then hit a walk-off homer with two outs in the eighth to give the Bruins the win.

The Bruins finished off the Wildcats the following night, behind four home runs, to post a 15-9 victory.

UCLA hit a WCWS-record 14 home runs, including a record four by both Langenfeld and Andrea Harrison.

Harrison, who set the record for most RBI in one WCWS with 11, was joined on the All-Tournament Team by Samantha Camuso.

As a team, the Bruins set single-season marks for home runs (108), slugging percentage (.602), on base percentage (.432) and walks (244).

2009 held at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on May 28 – June 2.

Champion – Washington Huskies (51-12)
Runner Up – Florida Gators (65-3)

Washington (51-12) kept the championship in the Pac-10 by keeping Florida from bringing the Southeastern Conference its first title. The Pac-10 has won 21 of the 27 Women’s College World Series titles, with Arizona State and Washington joining powerhouses UCLA (11 championships) and Arizona (eight) the past two years.

National player of the year Danielle Lawrie (42-8) shut out the top-seeded Gators (63-5) the rest of the way to clinch the title with a two-game sweep. She pitched every inning of the Huskies’ six games at the World Series.

Florida’s Aja Paculba led off the game with a triple to right-center field past a diving Aly McWherter and scored on a passed ball. Kristina Hilbreth reached on an error, moved to second on Enea’s infield single and was able to sneak into third on a steal when Stuart was too far from the base to tag her. She scored on Bush’s sacrifice fly.

Washington answered immediately against Nelson, who led the nation in ERA but was coming off two of her worst outings of the season. Lawrie’s RBI single and a wild pitch that brought in Pohlman evened the score at 2.

With Lawrie and Canadian Olympic teammate Jenn Salling leading the way, the Huskies were right at home in Oklahoma City.

Lawrie settled down after some shaky defense put the third-seeded Huskies in a 2-0 hole. She finished with a pair of strikeouts after Christina Enea narrowly missed a tying home run with a line drive off the left field wall in the seventh inning.

• Most Outstanding Player – Danielle Lawrie, Washington

• RBI Leader – Niki Williams, Washington – 10

2008 held at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on May 29 – June 3.

Champion – Arizona State Sun Devils (66-5)
Runner Up – Texas A&M Aggies (57-10)

the Arizona State Sun Devils softball team won their first NCAA softball championship, defeating Texas A&M 11-0 in one of the most lopsided title games in college softball history.

ASU was led by senior pitcher Katie Burkhart, who put together an incredible season, balancing a 41-5 record with an 0.75 ERA. Burkhart also threw two perfect games in 2008 and had 1,670 strikeouts over her four-year career.

As the 6th seed in the Women’s College World Series, ASU had to tangle with some impressive teams with loaded resumes, including the Alabama Crimson Tide and the UCLA Bruins. The Sun Devils cruised through the entire weekend with an undefeated 5-0 record, outscoring the competition 24-2 in a dominating display.

Kaitlin Cochran was another key contributor to that team, as her reputation as a prolific hitter preceded her. In 2008, she drew 29 intentional walks, a record. In the title game, Cochran hit a three-run home run and capped off her junior year with a .438 batting average.

2007 held at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on May 31 – June 6.

Champion – Arizona Wildcats (50-14-1)
Runner Up – Tennessee Volunteers (63-8)

Chelsie Mesa’s error in a loss to Tennessee Friday night/early Saturday morning put Arizona in the losers’ bracket.

The Wildcats’ senior second baseman more than vindicated herself.

Mesa provided the crushing blow in a 5-run fifth inning eruption off Tennessee star Monica Abbott to lead Arizona to a 5-0 win Wednesday night in front of 5,533 fans at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium.

It is Arizona’s eighth softball national title.

Arizona junior right-hander Taryne Mowatt was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. Mowatt pitched all 60 innings for the Wildcats, throwing 1,035 pitches. Mowatt allowed only four earned runs in eight games, striking out 79.

Similar to a 1-0, 10-inning loss Tuesday night, Tennessee had ample scoring opportunities but couldn’t score against Mowatt, 42-12. The Volunteers stranded 12 runners in Wednesday’s loss after leaving 14 runners on base in Tuesday’s loss.

The Wildcats rapped out 10 hits off Abbott, the national player of the year. The 5-run fifth was a startling turn around considering no team had scored against Abbott at the 2007 WCWS through 37 innings until Arizona finally pushed across a run in the 10th inning Tuesday night.

Five runs in the fifth was as many runs as Abbott had surrendered in her previous 90 innings.

All-American center fielder Caitlin Lowe, who was 4-for-4, ignited the 5-run explosion with a single that handcuffed Abbott. Jenae Leles busted up a pitchers’ duel with a two-run double. Mesa removed all doubt by slamming a three-run home run.

Beating Abbott once this season has been difficult. Beating the national player twice in as many nights is a major accomplishment. Abbott, 50-5, lost only two games the first three months.

2006 held at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on June 1-6.

Champion – Arizona Wildcats (54-11)
Runner Up – Northwestern Wildcats (50-15)

The University of Arizona Softball program claimed its eighth NCAA championship title in Program history and finished a 50-14-1 season by taking two games out of three from Tennessee at the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City in May of 2007.

The road to the title was not easy, as the Wildcats played five elimination games and eight total contests over the course of seven days. The U of A rode the arm of pitcher Taryne Mowatt, who was named the Women’s College World Series Most Outstanding Player, for a record 60 innings.

Arizona used a huge fifth inning in the final game to secure their place in history. The Wildcats beat Tennessee that night 5-0. The Cats had dropped the opening game to the Vols earlier in the week and then stormed back with a 1-0 victory in the second game.

Senior Outfielder Caitlin Lowe Struck her third of four hits to lead off the fifth inning, starting the game-winning rally.

Freshman K’Lee Arrendondo followed with a single and Tennessee intentionally walked senior Kristie Fox to load the bases.

Sophomore third baseman Jenae Leles singled the first pitch up the middle to drive in two runs. That brought up senior second baseman Chelsie Mesa, who drilled a home run to right field to give the Wildcats a huge Cushion.

1991 held at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on May 23-26.

Champion – Arizona Wildcats (56-16)
Runner Up – UCLA Bruins (56-7)

Arizona wins its first women’s team national championship in any sport. Pitching (Debby Day 30-8, 0.50; Susie Parra 14-3, 0.43; Julie Jones 12-5, 1.21) and defense (.970 team fielding percentage, Julie Standering 187 assists at shortstop) were keys to the season. The Cats also stole 119 bases. Jones (.350), Jamie Heggen (.330), Kristin Gauthier (.300), Standering (.296) and Jody Miller (.272) had outstanding seasons at the plate.

The Cats beat No. 1-ranked UCLA twice at the College World Series to earn the championship, including a 5-1 victory in the title game. UA had four extra-inning games in the classic. The Cats used short-game tactics much of the year and were led by Standering with 30 and Miller with 20 stolen bases. Arizona finished the year 56-16 overall. The Cats were frustrated in the tough Pac-10 Conference at 11-9 and a fourth-place finish.

1991 Arizona Wildcats

1990 held at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on May 23-27.

Champion – UCLA Bruins (62-7)
Runner Up – Fresno State Bulldogs (29-7)

This year was the first WCWS held at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City and it has been the host ever since except for 1998 when it was run at the site of the Olympics.

The Bruins quickly dispatched of Northern Iowa in Regional play and won their first four contests at the initial Women’s College World Series to be played in Oklahoma City. For the third straight season, Fresno State stood in the way of UCLA and a national championship. Attempting to avenge their previous two losses, the Bulldogs won a 1-0, elimination game against the Bruins to force a winner-take-all final.

UCLA jumped out to an early 1-0 lead with a first-inning run when Shanna Flynn scored on a wild pitch. Then in the third inning, a downpour caused the game to be suspended and resume the following afternoon.

The Bruins came out the next day and immediately tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the third when Kerry Dienelt drove in Michelle Montgomery. Compton took care of the rest, one-hitting the Bulldogs to finish off the three-peat.

Dienelt, Fernandez, Flynn, Gutierrez and Longaker were all named to the All-Tournament Team.

• Batting Leader – Missy Phillips, UCLA – .467
• RBI Leader – Kim Harris, UNLV – 4
• RBI Leader – Yvonne Gutierrez, UCLA – 4

1989 UCLA Bruins

1988 held at Twin Creek Sports Complex in Sunnyvale, California on May 25-29.

Champion – UCLA Bruins (53-8)
Runner Up – Fresno State Bulldogs (29-5)

The 1988 event was the first WCWS played in Sunnyvale.

The NCAA Tournament began with a two-game sweep of Cal State Fullerton in Regional play. For the first time, the Women’s College World Series was held in California, as the Bruins traveled north to Sunnyvale. UCLA won its first four games by a 16-2 margin to advance to the championship against Fresno State. Needing to win a pair from the Bruins, the Bulldogs took the first step with a 2-1 victory in game one, setting up a winner-take-all showdown for the title.

As she had done all season, Longaker was masterful in the circle, hurling her 23rd shutout of the year. The Bruins gave her the only offense she needed in the fourth inning when Parks doubled in Stacy Sunny and Maynez to put UCLA on top 2-0.

The Bruins added an insurance run in the seventh on a Shanna Flynn RBI single and won the sport’s fifth national championship.

Flynn, Longaker and Sunny were joined on the All-Tournament Team by Kerry Dienelt and Missy Phillips.
