RIVERSIDE -- California Baptist University will look to build off of a successful tournament in Puerto Vallarta last weekend with another road swing this weekend.
The Lancers will travel to San Jose and Santa Clara to play in the Silicon Valley Classic from February 21-23. They will open the tournament with a rematch against Colorado State and battle against the likes of host San Jose State, Boise State and Cal Poly before wrapping things up with Yale on Sunday morning.
CBU is coming off a 2-2 run against some of the nation's best teams at the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge. The Lancers also held sixth-ranked Texas to just four runs and defeated Colorado State and Ole Miss in an exciting doubleheader.
