and center fielders resulting in a double, and bringing Hopkins home to end a two-inning Cougar scoring drought. Then Delahoussaye slammed a single to short center field, and Tiffany Messerschmidt walked.

With bases loaded and only one out, Angeline Quiocho pushed to a full count before shooting a grounder up the middle to bring Gonzales home. The next batter, Jessica Purcell, hit a sacrifice fly to left field, bringing home Delahoussaye. The RBI marked her 80th RBI for the season, two shy from tying the BYU record set by assistant coach Ianeta Le'i in 2006. The inning ended with the bases loaded after Coreen Lopez popped out.

In the top of the sixth inning, Colorado State started to rally with three base hits, resulting in one run, but Affleck regained her composure and struck out two of the three last batters she faced and forced a groundout to end the inning.

Affleck ended the night one strikeout short of her personal best with 11, giving up only one run and five hits. The Cougars finished the night with four runs off of eight hits and two errors. Of those

Cougars who got hits were Delahoussaye who had three, Quiocho added two, and Gonzales and Hopkins each tallied one.

BYU will conclude the regular season this afternoon. Both BYU seniors will be honored following the games and the whole team will be recognized for its accomplishment of clinching the MWC title. The game is set to begin at 2 p.m.
