Traveling to Azusa Pacific Tuesday for a doubleheader, the University of La Verne softball team had an upset in mind.

The sounds of hard work can be heard on weeknights in the Supertents. Yells of encouragement from teammate to teammate, the basketball bouncing off the hardwood, and 13 pairs of shoes stomping down as the players change direction during sprints.

Following a two-game winning streak in a season that has already proven uneventful, the University of La Verne women's basketball team concluded their second match up with the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps in the Supertents last Friday with a 64-45 loss.

After two straight losses on Nov. 22 and 23 in the Trinity Tournament in San Antonio, Texas, to Wartburg College and Occidental, the University of La Verne's women's basketball team bounced back of late to win two games and dropped one to lower its record to below .500, at 2-3 overall.

With growing anticipation, the University of La Verne women's basketball team is diligently preparing for the upcoming 1997-98 season with the hopes that it can better last year's mark of 13-12 overall.
