UCLA softball opens NCAA regional with dominant win over UC Santa Barbara

By Anthony De Leon

With UCLA’s bats quiet early, Kaitlyn Terry stepped into the batter’s box looking to ignite a two-out rally — and with one swing she brought the Bruins to life.

Terry, a right fielder and left-handed pitcher, hit a three-run home run in the second inning to jump-start UCLA’s 9-1 win over UC Santa Barbara in six innings in the opening round of the Los Angeles Regional on Friday.

The No. 9 Bruins (49–10) advanced to Game 3 of the regional, where they’ll face the winner of Arizona State and San Diego State at 2 p.
