PROVO -- In a conference match up against instate rival Utah, the BYU softball team split (W 5-4, L 9-8) in the doubleheader at Gail Miller Field on Saturday. With the split, the Cougars post a 21-12, 3-3 record, while the Utes are 13-22, 3-3.

In game one, BYU jumped out to a 5-0 lead after the bottom of the third inning highlighted by two home runs. Junior Lauren Watson opened the scoring with a two-run homer over the right field scoreboard. Paige Paramore followed shortly after with a three-run home run over left centerfield.

Utah added its first run of the game in the top of the fourth inning off a single up the middle from Bryanne Durrence, which knocked in Devina Quintero. The Utes added three more runs in the fifth, but the Cougars allowed no more runs to walk away with the 5-4 victory.

Junior Niki Andersen (12-4) got the win in 4.2 innings of play. Sophomore Brooke Boyce got the save after coming in for relief the final 2.1 innings. This was Boyce's first appearance back since taking a line drive to the face on April 1 against UNLV. Utah's Brianna Gourdin (9-4) pitched a complete game and picked up the loss.

"It was disappointing to get a bunch of runs in the third inning and not expand our lead, but I'm glad to get the win," BYU head coach Gordon Eakin said.

In game two, BYU jumped out to a one-run lead after the bottom of the first inning. Krystle Chamberlain tripled to lead off the inning and was brought home off a single up the middle from Ashlyn Russell.

Utah would answer back with a huge six-run top of the second to take the 6-1 lead.

Ianeta Le'i then scored a Cougar run in the bottom of the second inning off a Ute error to bring the score to 6-2.

In the bottom of the third inning, Le'i came through big for BYU again with a two-run home run over left field. Kate Walker also added another run to bring the Cougars within one run.

Utah's Quintero doubled to bring in two more Ute runs in the top of the fourth inning to take an 8-5 lead.

BYU fought back to add a run in the bottom of the fourth inning thanks to junior Debbie Dodds' solo home run to centerfield. The Cougars put up another run in the fifth as Jodi Norton's double scored Le'i, who led off the inning with a double.

In the top of the seventh frame, Utah added one run to take a 9-7 lead.

Dodds singled up the middle to score Le'i in the bottom of the seventh, but the Cougars weren't able to bring in any more runs as Utah got the close 9-8 win to split with BYU.

"With the six runs they scored in the second inning we could have folded, but we battled back," Eakin said.

BYU pitcher Ariel Capra (3-3) got the loss on the mound, while Utah pitcher Melissa Oakes (1-6) picked up her first win of the season and Gourdin got the save. Andersen contributed five innings with six strikeouts, and Boyce came in to close for the final out of the game.

Next up for the Cougars is a doubleheader against Utah State on Tuesday, April 13 starting at 3 p.m. at Gail Miller Field. BYU will also play two road conference doubleheaders next week against Colorado State on Thursday, April 15 at 1 p.m. and New Mexico on Saturday, April 17 at 1 p.m.
