In the 72-year history of the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC), only two teams have ever gone undefeated. The first was in 1954 when the Occidental College Tigers went 8-0. The second happened Tuesday when the Universi­ty of La Verne Leopards completed an 18-0 sweep of the conference.

All the University of La Verne baseball team needs to do to end its season with an undefeated record in league competition is defeat the Caltech Beavers, something the Leopards have managed to do in the team's 45 previous confrontations.

Even rain delays could not stop the University of La Verne baseball team from moving closer to its 14th Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) cham­pionship in the last 16 years.

The University of La Verne baseball team hosted two teams from the East Saturday, March 14, and Sunday, March 15, and split with each in a weekend of double-headers.

Riding a wave of success, the University of La Verne baseball team has ex­tended its season record to 9-2, overall and 6-0 in the Southern California Inter­collegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC). Coming off a sweep of Pomona-Pitzer and a victory over Cal Baptist, the Leos are currently on a seven-game winning streak, taking eight of their last nine.

The University of La Verne baseball team made a three-game sweep of the Occidental Tigers, taking a double-header, Saturday, Feb. 21, at Oxy, and win­ning again Tuesday, Feb. 24, at home, improving its record to 5-2, overall and 3-0 in SCIAC competition.
