main image
SAN DIEGO -- The BYU softball team knocked off No. 1 ranked MWC opponent San Diego State with a 4-0 shutout in game one and a 5-1 win in the second contest on Saturday at SDSU Field.
"It was an all-around great team effort," BYU defense and recruiting coach Mindy Hanson said. "We're disappointed with the loss against UNLV, but the girls came back very focused and determined. It's giving us good momentum going into next week."
With the wins, the Cougars improve to 34-17, 11-8 MWC, while the Aztecs drop to 36-22, 14-6 MWC.
In game one, freshman Jodi Norton and senior Belinda Osborn each knocked in runs to put the Cougars up 2-0 after the top of the second inning.
Junior Lauren Watson nailed a two-run home run to right field in the top of the fifth inning to give the Cougars the big 4-0 shutout-victory over the Aztecs.
Sophomore Brooke Boyce (13-8) recorded the win on the mound in a complete seven innings, while SDSU pitcher Deanna Richards (10-9) got the loss.
In game two of the doubleheader, two Aztec errors in the top of the first inning helped BYU's Watson get on base and eventually steal home to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead.
SDSU added its only run of the game (and day) in the bottom of the third inning off a double by Bree Boyer that scored Meagan Hartung.
BYU added another run in the top of the fifth inning as Osborn singled to right center to score Debbie Dodds.
And in the top of the seventh inning the Cougars added three more runs off of five hits to snatch the 5-1 win and get the sweep over SDSU on the road.
Junior Niki Andersen (18-6) received the win in a complete seven innings, while Celena Velasquez (15-5) received the loss.
Overall in the final conference games of the regular season, BYU posted a 3-1 record. Four batters hit .308 or better including Osborn .500 (5-10), Dodds .500 (6-12), Watson .417 (5-12) and Paige Paramore .308 (4-13). For the pitching squad, Andersen recorded a 2-0 weekend, while Boyce split 1-1.
The Cougars will prepare for the Mountain West Conference Championships in Fort Collins, Colorado on May 13-15 hosted by last season's MWC Tournament Champions Colorado State.
