PROVO, Utah - For the third time this season, BYU defeated UVSC, winning 5-3 Tuesday in Orem.

BYU had met up with UVSC easily defeating them the first time 21-3 early in the season and 8-0 in their second meeting just a few weeks ago. This game however proved to be a bit more difficult as the Wolverines hit the ball well on Cougar pitchers Brooke Boyce, Niki Anderson, and Summer Tobias, getting 11 hits.

BYU had a comfortable 3-0 lead in the third inning when UVSC managed to get right back into the game tying it up, including a two-run home run in the inning by UVSC's shortstop.

However, BYU played smart and UVSC gave up some costly errors handing BYU their 29th win of the season. Tobias pitched the final inning being credited with the save.

BYU 26-9 get back into conference play with double-headers against Colorado State and New Mexico, Friday and Saturday respectively. Friday April 15 games are at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. with Saturday's at 2 pm. And 4 p.m. Saturday's 2 p.m. game will be televised live on BYUTV.
