LA GRANDE, Ore. –The Corban University softball team has been named the “Team of the Week” for March 12-18 the Cascade Collegiate Conference announced.
The No. 8 ranked team in the country swept their conference series over the Beacons of Northwest Christian University with three wins over a two day span.
In game one, reigning Pitcher of the Year Sabrina Boyd tossed a no-hitter in the Warrior 6-0 win. Boyd faced twenty-two batters and registered seven strikeouts on the day. Mahina Chong and Megan Rybar each tallied two run RBI’s for Corban.
On Friday Boyd again took the mound and registered her fourth straight complete game in an 8-0 Warrior win. Kaylee Buhrkuhl went 2-for-3 with three RBI’s while Maddy Melton recorded a pair of hits scored twice.
