Oklahoma's Chamberlain breaks home run record; Mauga could be next

Oklahoma senior Lauren Chamberlain broke the NCAA record for career home runs last week; she had 91 through Friday. Until this season, the top four in NCAA home runs were UCLA’s Stacey Nuveman, 90; Arizona’s Stacie Chambers, 87; Arizona’s Leah Braatz and the UA’s Laura Espinoza Watson both at 85. Arizona sophomore Katiyana Mauga had 41 through Friday and, if she stays healthy, could get close to 100 in the 2017 season.
