The Hurricane's only loss to the Braves was a 3-1 setback during the 1992 campaign. The last time the school's squared off was during the 1995 season in Tulsa. TU blanked Bradley, 3-0, in that game.

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane women's team (8-5-1, 3-2 WAC) hosts the Hawai`i Rainbow Wahine (4-9-1, 1-2-1 WAC) in Western Athletic Conference play.
