Softball Extends Skid to Four Games

PALM SPRINGS -- The BYU softball team (8-6) continues to slide, losing to No. 12 Northwestern (7-4), 5-0, and to Ohio State (3-3) 8-3 Friday at the Palm Springs Classic.

Northwestern senior Eileen Canney had BYU's number all day, striking out 16 on her way to the shutout victory. Cortney Nix-Clark recorded the game's first hit, a lead-off single to second base. It wasn't until the seventh inning that Dani Urincho got the second and final Cougar hit of the day with a single to third base.

Wildcats sophomore Tammy Williams went 4-for-4, hitting one home run, driving in two RBIs and scoring three runs. It was another rough outing for Christina Gwyn, whose record now falls to 5-3. The junior gave up four earned runs in 3.1 innings of action and struck out three.

Ohio State took control early and never looked back with a four-run first inning. The Buckeyes added two more to their lead when Courtney Pruner hit a home run that also scored Megan Schwab.

BYU got on the board in the fourth inning after a Jodi Norton double drove in Urincho and Angeline Quiocho. The Cougars tacked on another run thanks to a Jennifer Whiteley RBI in the sixth. Whiteley went 3-for-3 against Ohio State, but it was not enough to overcome the Buckeyes' eight runs.

The Cougars, who lost to both Loyola Marymount and Virginia on Thursday, are now in the middle of a four-game losing streak. The last time BYU lost four in a row was the 2005 season when the Cougars dropped two double-headers in two days to Oregon State and Oregon. That team responded by winning 17 of its next 18 games.

BYU finishes the Palm Springs Classic against Illinois Chicago at 10:30 a.m. PST on Saturday.
