SALT LAKE -- Senior Jodi Norton had another two-home run game, as BYU (23-16, 4-2) completed its sweep of the University of Utah (20-17-1, 1-5) 11-2 at Ute Field on Saturday.

The Cougars picked up where they left off on Friday, as Cortney Nix-Clark crushed a home run to right field in the game's first at-bat. Two batters later, Jodi Norton hit her third home run in two days giving BYU a 2-0 lead heading into the second inning.

"We definitely had veteran leadership today," BYU head coach Gordon Eakin said. "Cortney leads off with a home run, and that was a huge tone-setter for the game. Jodi had two home runs again, and Tracee [Hoch] made some really nice plays defensively. We had really good senior leadership and excellent pitching again today."

In the second inning, it was Nix-Clark again notching runs on the scoreboard. With Hoch and Angeline Quiocho on base, Nix-Clark smacked a two-RBI double down the left field line. The Utes scored an unearned run in the bottom of the inning to bring the score to 4-1.

Norton ended her week with another solo home run in the fifth inning and Nix-Clark hit another two-RBI double in the fifth. Four unearned runs from Nix-Clark, Quiocho, Jennifer Whiteley and Monica Gonzales in the final two innings gave the Cougars the 11-2 win and a series sweep over Utah.

Junior Christina Gwyn struck out five and allowed just one earned run on the day.

Next up for BYU is a make-up double-header against Southern Utah in Cedar City, Utah. The two teams meet on Tuesday at 1 p.m. (MST) and 3 p.m.
