ULV:  Ashley Paul, Softball
A freshman shortstop from Glendora, Paul batted .438 in four games to help lead La Verne to the first-ever SCIAC Tournament Championship.  On Friday Paul went 3-4 with two runs scored in a 10-0 win over CMS and followed with a two-run double in the Leopards' 4-1 triumph over Pomona-Pitzer.  Against top-seed and seventh-ranked Redlands on Saturday, she went 2-3 in the opening-game loss, and closed with a single and a run scored as ULV prevailed 5-4 over the Bulldogs to capture the  tournament crown and secure a berth in the NCAA West Regionals.  Paul finished the regular season with a team-high .433 batting average.
