Future looks bright for UW softball despite tough loss in Women’s College World Series

OKLAHOMA CITY — This was not the ending that the Washington softball team dreamed of.

Husky coach Heather Tarr said the mission from the start of the season had been to “win the last game in Oklahoma City.”

That won’t happen as UCLA eliminated the Huskies in the semifinals of the Women’s College World Series, 3-0 in 10 innings, but any funk from Sunday’s loss should soon turn to optimism as the UW should have a great chance to get back here next year.

The Huskies return 18 of 22 players, and lose just two starters.
