They have played against top teams at that tournament. They lost to No. 1 California 1 to 0 as the CAT throw a one hitter but that one hit was enough to get CA the win. UT had bases loaded in third with no outs but couldn't bring any runs in and you can't lose those opportunities against top teams. Also UT with CAT's great pitching again beat UCLA for the first time in extra innings 3 to 0! A big step for the UT program. It is noted that California and Arizona have dominated softball national championships the past several years so these games are encouraging plus the games were in California so UT was the visiting team. Way to go Ladies!
