The reigning Canadian Collegiate Softball Association (CCSA) bronze medalists got off to a flying start in Calgary as they posted a perfect 5-0 record over games on Saturday and Sunday.
The Heat opened the weekend with wins of 11-1, 9-1 and 9-2 over Mount Royal, SAIT and Saskatchewan respectively before adding a 5-2 win over Lethbridge and a narrow 2-1 victory over host Calgary.
Offensively, third-year first baseman Chelsea Mosher of Victoria, led the way for UBCO as she hit .455 in 15 plate appearances, hitting one home run, driving in four and scoring seven runs.
Two other members of the Heat went yard in the contest including Sheyanne Lawrence of Kelowna, B.C., who added a team-best five RBI's over the five games, as well as Cheyenne Simicak of Surrey, B.C.
On the mound, UBC transfer Taylor McRae of Vancouver, Wash., picked up three wins while allowing just two earned runs in 10.1 innings pitched and striking out 12. Mikhaela Muir of Okotoks, Alta., and Lawrence each added a win while allowing just one earned run each. Lawrence also added two saves.
