OKLAHOMA CITY — For the first time in more than two decades, neither of college softball's traditional powers will be playing for the national championship.

Francesca Enea had an RBI single and Kim Waleszonia scored on a first-inning error by pitcher Anjelica Selden as Florida eliminated second-seeded UCLA with a 2-0 win last night in the Women's College World Series. Two-time defending champion Arizona and World Series newcomer Virginia Tech were knocked out in earlier games.

UCLA and Arizona have combined to win 19 national championships, including one by the Bruins that was vacated by the NCAA, and at least one of the schools had been in the World Series finals every year since 1986.

Until this year.

The semifinals will feature fifth-seeded Texas A&M against Florida (69-4), which also knocked out Virginia Tech with a 2-0 victory earlier in the day to stay alive, and Arizona State against Alabama, which ended Arizona's three-peat bid with a 5-1 victory yesterday and eliminated Louisiana-Lafayette in a lightning-delayed 3-1 game that finished early this morning.

For the Bruins, the current four-year drought is the longest stretch without a World Series title since NCAA play began in 1982.

"UCLA and the College World Series go hand in hand, and to be able to come out on top against them in the losers' bracket with our backs against the wall is a tremendous accomplishment for our whole team," Gators coach Tim Walton said.

UCLA (51-9) was undone by the same sort of play that led to its first-round victory. Ali Gardiner hit a comebacker to Selden (29-5), and she fumbled the ball while trying to take it out of her glove and flip it to first. Waleszonia scored from second as the ball bounced into right field.

"I scooped it and it just got caught in my glove," Selden said.

Alabama 3, Louisiana-Lafayette 1: Brittany Rogers scored on a wild pitch and the Crimson Tide (58-7) scored three unearned runs errors to beat the Ragin' Cajuns (52-15) for their second win of the day.

Holly Tankersley provided the Ragin' Cajuns only run with her 23rd home run of the season to lead off the sixth. The game was delayed 1 hour, 37 minutes due to a threat of lightning.

Alabama 5, Arizona 1: Brittany Rogers had the go-ahead bloop double in a four-run sixth inning, and Charlotte Morgan homered and drove in three runs as the Crimson Tide ousted the Wildcats (41-19).

Rogers' looping liner landed just beyond the outstretched glove of diving shortstop K'Lee Arredondo and spun away from left-fielder Brittany Lastrapes to allow Ashley Holcombe to score from second.

Florida 2, Virginia Tech 0: Mary Ratliff hit a two-run double in the ninth inning as the Gators finally broke through against the Hokies (49-19) and Angela Tincher, the national player of the year.

Tincher struck out 19, one short of the World Series record.
