CORVALLIS, Ore. – For the second-straight week, the Eastern Oregon University softball team was named the Under Armour Team of the Week for April 18-24, the Cascade Collegiate Conference announced Sunday.
The Mounties, who are receiving votes in the latest NAIA Softball Coaches’ Poll, picked up the conference sweep over No. 3-ranked Oregon Tech to move into a tie for first place in the CCC standings.
EOU opened the series with a 4-3 win over the Owls and followed with a 3-2 nightcap victory. The Mounties secured the conference series with a 7-3 win before falling in non-conference action 9-6 in eight innings.
The Mounties close out the regular season at Carroll College next weekend before the CCC Softball Championship Tournament, presented by U.S. Bank, begins on May 6. If EOU were to win the regular-season title, the Mounties would host the conference tournament.
