LA GRANDE, Ore. –Oregon Tech’s women’s softball team has been named the Adidas Team of the Week, the Cascade Collegiate Conference announced Sunday.
The NAIA’s No. 9 ranked team ran their record to 14-1 on the season after an impressive five game sweep at the Southern Oregon Invite. In two days OIT defeated Simpson University and the University of British Columbia each twice and also were victorious over Holy Names University.
