COLUMBIA, S.C. — Jessica Clements scored three runs, Jordan Woolery and Rylee Slimp drove in two each, and UCLA defeated South Carolina 5-0 on Sunday in the decisive third game of the Columbia Super Regional.

The Bruins advanced to the Women’s College World Series where they have the most championships (12) and most appearances (36). The Bruins last won the title in 2019.

Woolery continued her clutch Super Regional play, driving in Clements with UCLA’s first two runs in the first and fifth innings. It was Woolery who kept UCLA alive Saturday, when she hit a two-run walk-off home run in a 5-4 victory to even the series best-of-3 series.

Leading 2-0 through six innings, UCLA added three runs in the top of the seventh. Clements led off with a single and she and Savannah Pola scored on a single by Slimp. An RBI single by Alexis Ramirez made it 5-0.

Pola and Clements were both 3 for 4 as part of UCLA’s 12-hit attack.

Kaitlyn Terry and Taylor Tinsley combined to scatter four hits. Terry (19-5) went 5 2/3 innings for the win and Tinsley finished the final 1 1/3 for her third save.

South Carolina (44-17) threatened in the bottom of the sixth with a pair of long fly balls with a runner on base, but Bruin right fielder Liesl Osteen caught both at the warning track.

UCLA (54-11) will face Oregon on Thursday on the first day of the WCWS in Oklahoma City. The Bruins are 1-2 against the Ducks this year.

Oregon (53-8) reached the WCWS with a 2-0 sweep of Liberty.
