•Western Athletic Conference: Freshman Jarred Bossio fired a closing round of even-par 72, helping the University of Idaho to a third-place team finish at Rio Secco Golf Club in Henderson, Nev.

Bossio finished the 54-hole event at even-par 216 and tied for fourth in the medalist standings, a stroke ahead of teammate Brad Tensen, whose final-round 71 left him alone in sixth place at 217.

Baseball

NWAACC: Community Colleges of Spokane’s East Region playoff hopes suffered a major blow as Blue Mountain (22-10, 11-11) swept a doubleheader from the Sasquatch in Pendleton, Ore.

CCS (17-15, 9-13) lost the opener 4-3 and dropped the nightcap 3-1, despite getting splendid outings from starting pitchers Colby Crawford and Martin Aquirre, who allowed only 11 hits in the two games.

Softball

Pac-10: Washington’s Danielle Lawrie tossed her second no-hitter of the season, and teammate Kimi Pohlman stroked a decisive three-run double in the fifth inning as the fourth-ranked Huskies (36-9, 9-6 Pac-10) tripped No. 2-ranked and league-leading UCLA 3-0 in Seattle.

Lawrie, who no-hit high-scoring Arizona a month ago, needed just 74 pitches to dispose of the Bruins and record her school-record-tying 16th shutout of the year.

Volleyball

Lewis-Clark State College announced that freshman Kelli Tikker, who played at Gonzaga last fall, will transfer and join the Warriors program next season.

Tikker, a 5-foot-9 outside hitter and 2007 graduate of Lakeside High School in Nine Mile Falls, played in eight games for the Bulldogs last fall.

Track and field

Mead High School’s Justin Graff and Keith Webber have signed national letters of intent to compete for the University of Montana next fall.

Graff, a javelin thrower, has a career-best toss of 192 feet, 2 inches, and has also competed in the long jump and short relay for the Panthers.

Webber is a pole vaulter with a career-best vault of 15-6.

He opened his senior season this spring with back-to-back 15-foot performances, before soaring to his career-best height at the Pasco Invitational two weekends ago.
