No. 4/5 Florida Softball Defeats No. 2/2 UCLA and San Diego State Friday

Florida used a four-run sixth inning rally Friday to upset the No. 2/2 UCLA Bruins, 4-1, on the second day of the Cathedral City Classic in Palm Springs, Calif., after defeating San Diego State University, 4-2, just a half hour before. The fourth-ranked Gators improved to 13-0 on the season, moving to 3-0 all-time versus the Aztecs (5-6) and narrowing the series with the defending national champion Bruins, 2-3, as UCLA chalked up its second loss of 2011 (10-2). 

Florida plays its fifth and final game of the 2011 Cathedral City Classic Saturday when it takes on the team from Utah at 10:30 a.m. (PST). UF is 1-1 all-time against The Utes and will be looking for its second tournament sweep of the 2011 season after winning all five games at the season-opening USF Wilson DeMarini Tournament in Clearwater, Fla.
