OKLAHOMA CITY — UCLA had its chances against a familiar foe at the Women’s College World Series on Saturday.

But the Bruins, who walked off with a win against Oregon late early Friday morning, failed to duplicate the same magic against Texas Tech’s NiJaree Canady.

Canady, the hard-throwing former Stanford ace, pitched a complete game seven-hitter with seven strikeouts and two walks to help secure a 3-1 win for the Red Raiders and a spot in Monday’s semifinals.

The Bruins left five runners on base against Canady — three in the second inning and two more in the seventh.
