The University of La Verne’s softball team opened conference action this past weekend sweeping Claremont-Mudd-Scripps in three games, but fell to the University of Redlands in a two-game set on Sunday.

In a two game set, the University of La Verne softball team brought their A game. Not letting a single run score between the two games, La Verne produced 17 runs claiming a victory over Menlo College in both games. In the first game, the Leopards shut down Menlo 8-0 followed by another shut out victory of 9-0.

With regards to Julie Kim’s article on May 7 titled, “Annual athlete turnover a trend in ULV sports,” the reaction was somewhat disappointing in that it did not tell the entire story.

The University of La Verne softball team’s season ended last weekend when it was eliminated from the NCAA West Regional Tournament held at Hart Park in Orange. The Leopards were defeated Friday by Linfield College and Cal State Hayward.

The climactic, last-minute wins. The endless practice sessions. The life-long friendships. The physical exhaustion.

The University of La Verne re-established itself as a softball powerhouse last weekend, taking the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title with two shutout wins over the University of Redlands, 2-0 and 4-0.
