UW falls to 34-9 on the year and 5-8 in conference play while UCLA improves to 29-11 and 5-6.
UW had four hits in the game, two each by freshman Kimberlee Souza (Waialua, Hawai'i) and senior Nikia Williams (Mission Viejo, Calif.).
The game-winner for UCLA was in the second as Dani Yudin hit a two run shot to center with one on against sophomore Kaitlin Inglesby (Portland, Ore.).
