The UCLA softball team did something Saturday afternoon that no other team has been able to do in 2025 – beat Arkansas.

The Arkansas softball team is on a torrid pace to start the 2025 season, and the Razorbacks picked up another win Friday night at the 2025 Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic in Cathedral City, California, defeating Loyola Marymount 6-2.

Through four innings in the Arkansas vs. Rutgers game Thursday at the 2025 Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic in Cathedral City, California, it looked like the difference in the contest might be one third-inning swing from Arkansas.

The Arkansas softball team is playing in the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic for the first time since an undefeated run at the event in 2018.

Every year since 2011, the weekend following the NCAA Division I Women’s College World Series marks the pilgrimage of some of the top travel softball teams in the country converging in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to compete in the Annual Tulsa Elite Summer Invite. That first year, 16 teams took to four fields, and today the event has grown to become one of the nation’s top recruiting events of the year. From Wednesday-Sunday, well over 100 college coaches attend the tournament held at Arrowhead Park, offering a single 12-field complex allowing for maximum exposure.

Before Mary Haff, a 2017 pitcher from Lake Region High in Eagle Lake, Fla., threw her first pitch for high school, she had received her first of what would be more than two dozen Div. I offers from major schools in conferences ranging from the ACC to the Big Ten to the Ivy League (she has a 4.0 GPA).
