BASEBALL: After winning its home opener, BYU slumped into a five-loss skid, including three losses at Gonzaga before the Cougars finally trumped the Bulldogs 13-9 on their last weekend game. The Cougars got a pair of three-run homers from Steve Parker and Kasey Ko to break out of the slump and improve their record to 2-5.

WOMEN'S TENNIS: The Cougars improved their record to 7-6 this weekend by squeaking out a victory against Nevada Friday and then sweeping Kansas on Saturday.

Friday's match was tied 3-3 until the last event, when freshman Elizaveta Ezhova rallied to win 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 to clinch the team victory. The Cougars won every match Saturday against the Jayhawks.

MEN'S TENNIS: BYU (6-5) struggled on the road in Arizona — dropping a lopsided 7-0 match at Arizona State Friday and then falling 4-2 against the University of Arizona Saturday afternoon.

SOFTBALL: The Cougar softball team went 2-2 at last weekend's Wilson/Demarini Invitational in Tempe, Ariz..

BYU swept opening-day games with close wins against Drake and Creighton. But on Saturday, Creighton got its revenge by winning 10-1, and the Cougars also fell to No. 2 ranked Arizona State.
