Oklahoma was a unanimous No. 1 in last week’s poll, but UCLA was ranked No. 2. The Bruins now sit at 12-0 on the year and have picked up impressive wins over programs like Alabama, Florida State, Virginia Tech and Louisiana.
UCLA remained undefeated with a win over the Ragin’ Cajuns on Sunday. The Bruins scored 2 runs in the 7th innings to earn a 4-3 victory.
Here’s the game-winning play:

UCLA’s schedule doesn’t get any easier from here. The Bruins will play 6 power conference teams in the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic next week. The final game at that tournament will be against Oklahoma on Feb. 26.
The next college softball top 25 will be released on Tuesday.
