SAN BRUNO, Calif. - A huge series of West Coast Conference softball is on tap this weekend between first-place Saint Mary's and second-place LMU in Moraga. Santa Clara is also still in contention for a shot at the conference championship, currently four games behind the Gaels. 

All conference games can be seen on ESPN+. 

This Week
LMU and Saint Mary's will meet for three this weekend in Moraga. With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the Gaels control their own destiny towards the conference championship. Both of these teams are currently surging as SMC is riding a seven-game winning streak and LMU has won its last eight in a row. 

Santa Clara is still in contention, as well. The Broncos are currently four games behind Saint Mary's and one behind LMU. The Broncos head to Seattle U this weekend and if SCU can get some road wins this weekend, it's possible next week's series between Santa Clara and Saint Mary's could be for the conference title. 

The third conference series this weekend features San Diego heading to Stockton to face Pacific. 

Action starts tonight with Pacific heading to Stanford at 4 p.m. in non-conference play. 

Last Week
Saint Mary's and LMU continued their hot streaks last week as the Gaels swept San Diego on the road and LMU swept Pacific at home. 

Oregon State took two out of three over Seattle U in the third series last weekend, while Santa Clara was idle.
