National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes Westmont College was postponed because of poor field conditions, with the game rescheduled to April 22. Today's game versus Azusa Pacific at North Field is also in doubt. ``The ground is right at the saturation point now,'' head coach Marty Slimak said. ``Normally, if it rained the night before we would play the next day, but it's a mess.'' Slimak said it's the outfield that is suffering most, with players slushing around in standing water. In Monday's doubleheader victory over Whittier, it took 30 baseballs to get the games finished. ``There's no place for the water to go,'' Slimak said. It's not just baseball. The CLU track team has not been able to complete a full dual meet this season. Tres chic: The CLU baseball team has always been known for its trend-setting uniforms, and this season, Slimak said, is no different. The Kingsmen are wearing a white sleeveless number for 1998, complete with italicized, two-dimensional, two-toned shaded numbers and letters in purple and gold. ``When sleeveless wasn't popular (in 1990), we went with them,'' Slimak said. ``We broke out some yellow ones last year, and they were kind of cool.'' Odds and ends: CLU center Missy Rider was leading the nation in free-throw percentage last week, hitting 72 of 88 (81.8 percent). She leads the Regals in points (12.7 ppg) and rebounds (7.4). . . . The CLU men's basketball team (11-10, 7-3) watched a 16-point lead with five minutes left disappear in an 85-78 OT loss at Whittier. The Poets went on a 19-3 run and held the Kingsmen scoreless for a 4:53 stretch. |
