SOFTBALL: The Utah women's softball team started the Texas Classic off with a 2-0 record on Friday, including an upset 5-3 victory over No. 22 Texas, along with a 9-1 victory over Wisconsin in Austin, Texas.

On Saturday, the Utes split a pair of games, defeating Wichita State, 3-2, in the morning in the final round robin game, then falling to Wisconsin, 4-2, in the semifinals.

BASEBALL: The University of Utah baseball team dropped both games of a doubleheader to UC Davis Saturday afternoon, falling to the Aggies, 13-5 and 7-5, in Davis, Calif. The Utes fall to 0-6 on the season, and they were led by the 5-for-9 two-game effort of Jesse Shriner. He also had a double, a home run and an RBI in leading Utah's offense Saturday afternoon.

TRACK:The Utah track and field team went into the last event of the Mountain West Conference Indoor Championships tied for seventh, and the 4x440 yard relay team came up big as the Utes rallied for a hard-fought seventh-place finish at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado.

"I'm proud of the way the team fought this weekend," said head coach Kyle Kepler. "It's not where we wanted to finish, but I think the women represented the University of Utah very well. We're a young team, and we showed that. We have a ways to go. Now, our charge is to come home, get healthy and get ready for the outdoor season."

Lauren Endersen set the table for the dramatic finish in the 3000m. She passed four runners in last few hundred meters to take seventh in 10:33.86. Her effort gave Utah enough points to tie UNLV for seventh.
