RIVERSIDE – California Baptist will be spending Valentine's weekend in the resort destination of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, but it will be a business trip for the Lancers. They are set to take on some of the nation's top softball teams in the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge.
CBU will face off with Texas, Colorado State, Ole Miss and Tennessee Thursday, Feb. 13 through Saturday, Feb. 15, with the CSU/Ole Miss doubleheader slated for Valentine's Day. The four teams have seen postseason success recently and often.
Tennessee reached the Super Regionals in 2019 for the third consecutive season and seventh time in the past eight years. The Lady Vols have been national runner-ups twice, most recently in 2013. Texas has made it to five Women's College World Series since 1998, facing off with Tennessee most recently in 2013. Colorado State made its return to the National Tournament after a 16-year drought, while Ole Miss is looking to push its postseason streak to four years in a row.

The Texas Longhorns are off to a 6-0 start for the second season in a row, having defeated all six opponents in impressive, run-rule fashion. In total, the Longhorns have outscored opponents 78-8 on the young season.
Texas entered the season ranked sixth in the NFCA Coaches Poll, and after the nearly flawless start to 2020, the Longhorns have been allotted the same rank in this week's polls.

Colorado State is entering the PVC Challenge with a 4-1 record, with their only loss coming at the hands of Texas in Austin on Feb. 8. The Rams like an early lead, holding the advantage by the third inning in three of their four wins so far this season.

Less than a year removed from a 41-20 season, Ole Miss currently sits at 0-5, having scored more than two runs only once. The early results are not an indication of what this team is capable of, as they return 17 letterwinners from a team that averaged 5.2 runs per game in 2019.

The Volunteers have worked hard for their 2-1 record, defeating Northwestern and Kansas, and missing out on a likely win against Western Michigan after the game was stopped in the fourth inning with Tennessee leading 13-6.
The Tennessee pitching staff has yet to allow a home run this season, helping the volunteers keep their #12 NCAA ranking through their first action.
