LAST TIME OUT

• San Diego earned one win over the weekend at the Golden State Classic, beating LIU 3-0.
• The Toreros snapped a four-game losing streak with the victory as they fell to Utah State, Seton Hall and Portland State earlier in the weekend.

• Junior Halle Kyler also compiled a noteworthy day at the plate, going 2-for-3.

THE NO-NO
