Western Athletic Conference play began on March 23 for the San Jose State University softball team when they hosted a three-game series against the Aggies of New Mexico State University.
The Aggies made themselves comfortable in San Jose where they swept the series and dropped the Spartans' conference record to 0-3.
Head coach Pete Turner said that his team needs to play up to their potential.
"We're in conference play now and we really need to step up," Turner said, on the Spartan Athletic Web site. "We're making mistakes where they shouldn't be made. We have the capability to play better than this, it just didn't come out (Friday)."
The Spartans turned that disappointment into aggression when they traveled to Santa Clara University and defeated the Broncos 13-3 in the first game of a double header on March 27.
Santa Clara edged out the Spartans 4-3 in game two.
The Rainbow Warriors of University of Hawai'i traveled to San Jose to face the Spartans in a three-game series Saturday.
The Spartans defeated the nationally ranked Rainbow Warriors 2-1 in the first of two games on Saturday.
Ranked No. 21 in the nation, Hawai'i regained its strong form by defeating the Spartans 20-0 in the second game on Saturday before winning 9-2 on Sunday in the last game of the three-game series.
The Spartans travel to Ruston, La. this week to face Louisiana Tech University (22-14, 3-3 WAC) on Friday.
