MORAGA, Calif. — For the first time in program history, the Saint Mary's Gaels (30-22, 10-6 WCC) are WCC Softball Champs! The Gaels did so by downing the LMU Lions (28-25, 9-7 WCC) 9-0 in an inspired senior day effort! The Gaels will now head back to the NCAA Regionals for the first time since 2010!
With their backs against the wall in a must win game, the Gaels opted to toss their veteran Avrey Wolverton in the circle. Wolverton tossed 6.1 innings of one run softball a day ago, but looked fresh in the circle, not allowing a hit until the third inning.
