Campus notes
Brigham Young
GOLF: The BYU women's golf team sits in sixth place at 7-over-par, after the first round of the 2008 NCAA West Regional. The Cougars got off to a strong start as senior Juli Erekson hit back-to-back birdies on holes two and three. Teammates Ashley Childers and Daphne Vines also birdied two shots early on to help BYU to a 295 team score, tied with Michigan State, Stanford and California.
SOFTBALL: BYU recorded its fourth consecutive 40-win season when it split a doubleheader against Colorado State (27-22, 7-11) on Thursday. A three-run homer gave Colorado State a 3-2 win and 11 runs off 14 hits gave BYU (40-18, 12-6) redemption in game two, 11-6.
Utah State
SOFTBALL: Seventh-seeded Utah State was eliminated from the Western Athletic Conference Softball Tournament after getting shutout, 3-0, to fifth-seeded New Mexico State. Three USU seniors ended their seasons — catcher Heather Haak, third baseman Amy Schaible and shortstop Tara Evans.
Southern Utah
SOFTBALL: SUU outfielder Trish Clapham has earned a spot on the Academic All-District 8 second team, it was announced Wednesday. Clapham, a starter in 46 of the Thunderbirds' 51 games, has helped SUU to a second seed in this week's Summit League tournament. She carries a .267 batting average with seven doubles and 15 runs scored this season.
Three Southern Utah University softball players have been named to this year's Summit League all-conference team. Centerfielder Rodeo Carli and designated player Karli Jenson both earned first-team recognition, while shortstop Aly Daniels was named to the second team. Carli, a senior from Sandy (Alta HS) led the league in runs scored in conference play (20). She was a second-team selection last year. Jenson, a sophomore from Cedar City, earned her second straight first-team honor. Daniels, a freshman from Puyallup, Wash., finished second in the conference in batting average (.393) and hits (24).
