After being no-hit Sunday, UA didn't reach base Monday until the fourth inning when Jasmine Perezchica notched a bunt single. Allie Skaggs and Izzy Pacho later had singles for the Wildcats, who didn't have an extra-base hit in the three games in being outscored 15-0.

Megan Faraimo blasted a three-run homer for UCLA, and also earned the win on the mound with four scoreless innings. The No. 3-ranked Bruins (25-3, 3-0) have won 18 straight games.

Devyn Netz (8-3) took the loss for UA, allowing six runs in 3 2/3 innings.
