SAN MARCOS (March 19, 2017) — The Coyotes completed one of their finest weekends in school history with a sweep on the road over Cal State San Marcos, 10-1 and 2-0, in CCAA softball Sunday afternoon.
CSUSB, which defeated the nation's top-ranked team Humboldt State in three of four games at Coyote Park on Friday and Saturday, took care of business in a doubleheader over the Cougars that was postponed due to rain last month.
The Coyotes take their 17-11 and 12-8 CCAA marks into this weekend's series at Chico State that begins Sunday.
