Biola's only run of the afternoon came in the opening inning of the first game, but a quartet of Cougar pitchers combined to hold the Eagles scoreless over the next 12 innings of play. Senior RHP Narissa Garcia fired six scoreless innings to finish off the complete-game 6-1 win in the opener, and junior LHP Carly Xepoleas allowed just two hits in five scoreless innings to pick up the win in the second game. Junior RHP Ariana von Zboray and freshman RHP Megan Mejia combined to record the final three outs of the nightcap to complete the sweep.

Meanwhile, the offense pushed across 14 runs on 21 hits over the two-game set, with freshman Christine Pinela leading the way with two hits in each game of the doubleheader. After leaving runners on base in each of the first three innings of the opener, Pinela's fourth-inning leadoff double set up Anneliese Davis' game-tying sacrifice fly to left.

Two innings later, sophomore SS Illiana Jimenez drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out single to left-center before junior 3B Nicki Sprague broke the game open with a three-run double to center field. Sprague scored on a wild pitch later in the inning to cap the five-run sixth inning.

Jimenez led off the second game with an infield single, scoring the first run on Sprague's RBI grounder to first base. The Cougars added back-to-back three-run frames in the fourth and fifth innings, and Jimenez scored on a sixth-inning wild pitch to set up the mercy-rule win.

Pinela led the offense with a total of four hits on the day, while Jimenez and Madison Hernandez registered three hits each. Sprague went two-for-three in the opener to extend her hitting streak to 18 games, but her hitting streak ended with a hitless second game, although she did deliver the game-winning RBI in the Game 2 victory.

Azusa Pacific returns home Saturday for a noon non-conference doubleheader against Concordia (Ore.) University.
