The Bruins played their home games at Easton Stadium and finished with a record of 54–7. They competed in the Pacific-10 Conference, where they finished second with a 17–4 record.
The Bruins were invited to the 2003 NCAA Division I softball tournament, where they swept the West Regional and then completed a run through the Women's College World Series to claim their ninth Women's College World Series Championship. The Bruins had earlier claimed an AIAW title in 1978 and NCAA titles in 1982, 1984, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1995, and 1999.[2] The 1995 championship was vacated by the NCAA.[3]
