After sweeping Pomona-Pitzer in three games over the weekend, the University of La Verne softball team split games with conference rival California Lutheran University Wednesday.

The University of La Verne softball team was flawless last weekend, going 6-0, including 4-0 in the month-long Chapman Sun West Tournament. This week it raised its winning streak to eight games after beating Willamette University twice Tuesday, 8-7 and 13-5.

After two days and four games, the women would return to La Verne with a solid third place finish.

Another year of dominating its conference competition has brought the University of La Verne's softball team another impressive postseason bid. The Leopards, who are the proud owners of a 17-1 Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference record, earned a No. 2 ranking in this weekend's NCAA West Regional playoff in Tacoma, Wash.
