SOFTBALL RIPS THROUGH COUGAR CLASH
Few teams of any kind at any level have dominated a tournament the way Cal State San Marcos softball dominated their home tournament this weekend, the Cougar Clash. Playing their first games on day two of the tournament, the Cougars shut out Emerson College 17-0 and the University of British Columbia 9-0. On Saturday, CSUSM again victimized Emerson College 8-0 and followed that with an identical 8-0 final against Hope International. On Sunday, the Cougars slipped by UBC 2-1 and swept the tournament with a 4-0 victory over #13 Dickenson State. To go with the aggregate 48-1 score, the Cougars also received a perfect game and a no-hitter from Brenna Sandberg on Friday, and a two-hitter by Brittany Boone followed by a 13-strikeout performance from Sandberg on day two, and a 17-strikeout performance by Sandberg on Sunday against Dickenson. Sandberg moves to 21-4 on the year.
MEN’S LACROSSE TO HOST FIRST GAME
CSUSM’s newest club team, men’s lacrosse, will host its first home game Saturday March 19 at 2 p.m. While the club has already played several games, fans have three chances to see the team play on campus. After this week’s match against Occidental College, fans can watch games against CSU Long Beach on April 9 at 3 p.m. and versus Concordia University on April 27 at 6 p.m. CSUSM lost their last game in a nail-biter at CSU Channel Islands, 14-13.
