Can you feel it… it is March Madness? It is crazy out there …and it is just the start! This weekend several UCLA sports were in full effect in the first full weekend of March. Both basketball teams got their post-season figured out. Baseball swung on and missed at Dodger Stadium. Softball almost went the whole weekend with a no-hitter. Gymnastics flew into action and much more. Needless to say, it was an action-packed weekend!
Here are the latest gongs-on with UCLA Athletics in Westwood Rewind: March Madness!
Softball
Things are getting crazy with the Softball team! Ally Carda already has her second shut-out of the season and nearly got her third on Sunday. Talk about killing it!
NO-HITTER!!!! Carda no-hits Illinois and the Bruins win, 14-0 in five. Second no-no for Carda this season, 3rd of career!

BRUINS WIN!!!! 9-2 over Illinois to improve to 20-5 on the year. UCLA vs. UC Davis around 5pm start.

Three more K's and it's a career high 12 for Carda. 2-0 Bruins over UC Davis, B5. She leads off the B5, then Spaulding and Perez.

With the bases loaded, Jelenicki clears them with a triple and the BRUINS WIN!!! 8-0 in six over UC Davis!!!
