Arizona pitcher Taryne Mowatt recorded her 100th career victory in her last home game, third baseman Jenae Leles hit two home runs, and interim-coach Larry Ray exorcised his demons as Arizona advanced to the Women's College World Series by beating Oklahoma 5-2 in the third and final game of the NCAA Super Regional.
Forward Chase Budinger earned an immense amount of popularity and attention during his first two seasons as a Wildcat.
