Campus notes

Utah

SOFTBALL: At Tempe, Ariz., Kristie Keller, Diana Phillips and Ashley Smuda combined in a 8-2 dismantling of Texas Tech Saturday at the Kajikawa Classic. Keller went 2-for-4 with 4 RBIs, while Phillips was also 2-for-4, scoring one run. Smuda pitched a complete game, going seven innings and surrendering only four hits and two runs along the way.

Brigham Young

SOFTBALL: The BYU women's softball team suffered two losses Saturday in Las Vegas, falling to Kansas, 5-3, and San Jose State, 3-2. The Cougars are now 7-3 on the season. The Cougars were able to put up seven hits against the Jayhawks, but were unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Two errors proved to be costly by allowing three unearned runs in the second inning. Against San Jose State, BYU allowed the Spartans to take the lead in the third inning when a fielder's choice permitted the first run. A two-run homer gave San Jose State a 3-0 lead. The Cougars travel to Knoxville, Tenn., for five games against Tennessee, Louisiana Monroe and Virginia in the Tennessee Classic on Feb. 21-23.

TENNIS: The BYU women's tennis team earned a 4-3 victory Saturday over Texas Tech to secure an undefeated weekend at home. With the win, BYU improves to 4-5 on the season.

Up next, the Cougars prepare to host Denver and Kansas State on Feb. 22-23.
