Michigan softball continued its unlikely run through the 2025 Big Ten Tournament with another victory May 9 in West Lafayette, Indiana, beating Purdue, 4-2, to advance to the final.
U-M will face second-seeded UCLA, which held off Nebraska in the day's first semi, in the title game at 4 p.m. May 10 (Big Ten Network) with an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament on the line. The Wolverines, the defending Big Ten tournament champs, will be looking for their first repeat tourney title since 2005-06. But the Bruins will be a tough foe; UCLA swept U-M in a three-game set in Ann Arbor in late April, outscoring the Wolverines, 21-14.
