SAN RAMON, Calif. — Karli Skowrup helped Chico State continue its winning ways and UC San Diego’s Robyn Wampler helped the Tritons to both wins over the weekend as the pair earned California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Player and Pitcher of the Week for April 10-15.  
 
CCAA Softball Player of the Week
Karli Skowrup, a senior from Thousand Oaks, Calif., was Chico State’s top run producer as the CCAA-leading Wildcats swept a four-game series against Sonoma State, running the team’s current winning streak to 14.

Skowrup batted an even .500 in the series (5-for-10), belting a home run and driving in seven while posting an .800 slugging percentage and a .500 on-base percentage. Friday Skowrup contributed a run-scoring single in the Wildcats’ 5-2 series-opening win, then went 3-for-4 with two RBI in the nightcap as Chico State outslugged the Seawolves 11-7. In Saturday’s doubleheader, Skowrup blasted a three-run homer to lead the Wildcats to a 6-2 victory, and then knocked in one of Chico State’s two runs with a sacrifice fly in the series finale against the No. 18 Seawolves. Skowrup currently is the CCAA’s RBI leader (47) while ranking third in home runs (10) and fourth in slugging percentage (.656).

With the weekend sweep, the Widlcats clinched the top seed in the upcoming 2018 CCAA Softball Championship. Chico State is on the road for the last two weekends of the regular season, taking on Humboldt State in a four-game series starting Friday at 1 p.m.

CCAA Softball Pitcher of the Week
UC San Diego freshman Robyn Wampler earned a win and a save on the same day against Stanislaus State as the Tritons leapt to second in the CCAA standings with two weekends remaining in the regular season. The Berkeley native struck out nine in her 18th win of the season, a complete game effort, as UC San Diego opened the weekend with a 3-2 win. In the second game of the day, Wampler struck out two in one inning of work to pick up her fourth save of the season. The Warriors batted .185 against Wampler as the two teams split the weekend as both look ahead to the potential post-season run.

For UC San Diego, the regular season ends with back-to-back road weekends. Next, the Tritons take on the Otters in Seaside with the series slated to start Friday at 1 p.m.
