Coquitlam's Cara Lukawesky upped her record to a sparkling 17-5 after pitching the Simon Fraser Clan to a 4-0 triumph over the Western Washington Vikings in a university women's softball showdown Sunday in Bellingham.

The Vikings bounced back to win the second game of a doubleheader 6-2, leaving the Clan with a 28-12 overall record, including 21-11 in Great Northwest Athletic Conference action.

On Thursday, Lukawesky pitched a one-hitter to lift the Clan to an 8-0 romp over Idaho's Northwest Nazarene Crusaders at Beedie Field on Burnaby Mountain.

Lukawesky pitched all five innings in the first game of a doubleheader that was shortened due to the mercy rule.

In the nightcap, chucker Kelsie Hawkins of Victoria scattered four hits over six innings to move to 11-6 this season as the Clan prevailed 2-0 to sweep the Great Northwest Athletic Conference twinbill.

Burnaby's Kelsey Haberl rallied the Clan's offence by going four for five at the plate in the two games with a run scored.

"Cara and Kelsie have been throwing great all year," Haberl said. "They were almost unhittable today and you can't ask for much more than that from your starters."
