LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Apr. 7, 2009) – On Sat. Feb. 14 sophomore Tasha Serna-Gallegos pulled on her black and orange Occidental College softball uniform for the first time in her collegiate career. Unlike most first year student-athletes, today was special for the second baseman in so many ways, since the story of her life is anything but ordinary. As a young teenager she faced cancer. A once active, athletic young student was forced to battle for her life, undergoing nearly three and a half years of treatment. Today, five plus years later, she is cancer-free and playing the sport she loves at the collegiate level.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF.

THOUSAND OAKS, CALIF. (April 4, 2009) – A seventh inning rally gave the Tigers hope as Alyssa Escalante connected for a two-out grand-slam to pull Occidental within a pair at Cal Lutheran on Saturday afternoon, but in the end the black and orange came up just short, falling 8-7 in game two after being shut out in the opener.
