#1 CHAPMAN IN WEST REGION ACTION
May 12, 2008
The University of La Verne baseball
team will face top-ranked and top-seed Chapman University in the
opening game of the NCAA Division III West Regional Wednesday at
Walt Driggers Field on the campus of McMurry University in Abilene,
TX.
The ULV-Chapman game is scheduled for 10 am PDT.
La Verne (25-14-1), is the #6 overall seed in the regional and is
joined by #1 Chapman (35-3), #2 George Fox (28-12), #3 McMurry
(29-17), #4 Cal State East Bay (26-14) and #5 Trinity (32-13).
La Verne earned an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament by virtue
of claiming its 19th SCIAC Championship in school history and the
third in the last five seasons under head coach Scott Winterburn.
The Leopards won their final eight games of the regular season to
overtake Redlands and Pomona-Pitzer to win a tight three-team
conference race.
