The 43rd home run, No. 1 on Concordia's career list, came during a 1-0 win over CS Monterey Bay.

WINNING STREAK ENDS BUT NOT TEAM OF THE WEEK H0NORS: The PacWest Team of the Week is the CONCORDIA GOLDEN EAGLES.

Concordia split doubleheaders with No. 19 CS San Marcos and No. 16 Northwest Nazarene, and also won games against CS Monterey Bay and Montana State Billings. CUI improved to 26-6 overall and they are 14-0 in PacWest games heading into a Tuesday-Wednesday series against Chaminade. In today's NFCA national poll, Concordia moved up to No. 17, the second highest ranked team in the west region only behind Western Washington at No. 13. 

PACWEST NEWS AND NOTES: With the PacWest tournament now just a little over a month away at Dominican (May 1-3), it's time to start taking a closer look at the battle to qualify. The top four teams at the end of the regular season will make the trip to San Rafael for the double-elimination tournament.

During the week, Victoria Macias drove in ten runs in nine games for UHH, which included three home runs. Macias was named to the all-tournament team at the Tournament of Champions...Rain played a big role at the Tournament of Champions, washing out a few games. Azusa Pacific went 1-2 in Turlock and Hawai`i Hilo was 2-3. 

THIS WEEK IN THE PACWEST: PacWest games return to the schedule today and tomorrow with Chaminade at Concordia.
