AZUSA, Calif. -- Putting a stamp on the best regular-season in program history, the NAIA’s top-ranked Azusa Pacific cruised to a 9-0 win over NAIA Region II-member and No. 25-ranked Alliant International.

With the win, Azusa Pacific concludes its regular-season at 26-1 overall, the best regular-season mark in program history. Alliant International drops to 8-7.

The Cougars were rarely tested and in control for the entire match as they swept through without dropping a set. The Cougars also improve to 15-1 against nationally-ranked teams this season, playing more than half of their matches against ranked teams.

Up next for the Cougars in the prestigious Ojai Valley Tournament this weekend. The Cougars then prepare for the NAIA Region II Tournament which gets underway May 6 in Santa Barbara.
