Slow Start for Cougars in Capital Classic

SACRAMENTO -- Seniors Jennifer Whiteley and Tracee Hoch both went 2-for-3, but the Cougars were unable to find offense anywhere else as BYU (12-10) fell to Iowa (15-12), 4-0, at the Capital Classic.

BYU had two on and one out in both the first and sixth innings, but couldn't get the timely hit in either situation. That was the story of the day for the Cougars, who left a total of seven base runners stranded throughout the game. Other than Whiteley and Hoch, Hawkeyes' pitcher Brittany Weil got the best of BYU's bats. Weil struck out 15 of the 28 batters she faced in the complete game shut out.

With her team leading 1-0, Emily Nichols hit a lead-off homer to left field in the bottom of the third inning. A Cougar fielding error later in the inning allowed Taylor Leichsenring to score, and Jenna Spratt stole home to cap the scoring in the inning and the game.

BYU starting pitcher Dani Urincho recorded her first loss of the season. Urincho gave up four runs on eight hits in five innings of play.

The Cougars lost to Minnesota, 5-2, in the late game, which is not officially part of the Capital Classic.
