STOCKTON, Calif.- The Pacific softball team met Southeastern Louisiana for the first time in program history during a rainy outing at Bill Simoni Field. The Lady Lions got the best of the Tigers, taking both games of the doubleheader 6-3 then 11-2.

Brian Kolze said. "They did put balls in play, they hit the ball hard and pitched through the adversity, we just didn't have a good day at the office. We'll just have to bounce back tomorrow and have more intensity and play more like we did heading into this week."
