Beat Number 9 Stanford on the road and won their other 3 games to win the tournament 4-0. They also got back their other starting pitcher from injury and she got a shutout on Friday. They have been playing a lot of ranked opponents this year and appear to be getting better and perhaps will get out of the regional round this year in the tournament.

BYU beat ECU 1-0 just now in the NCAAs. They are ranked #25 and will face the winner of #7 Texas-Iona tomorrow. Once again they are trying to get to the next round. The Bball team did it so maybe this is the year. they have played and beat some top 10 teams this year however the tourney is in Texas.

WE beat #12 Texas 9-8 putting us into the finals on Saturday. Texas lost to ECU today so they are out. ECU has to beat us twice to win. We are in great shape to advance for the first time.

Congrats to the Lady Cougs that are about to make the sweet 16 and into the super regional. They're up 8-3 in the 7th inning in the 1st of (1 of 2) games they had to win to make it through. There won't be a sudden death game, the Cougs showed up in the 1st game. East Carolina had only given up 1 run the entire week until todays game. BYU really dominated in Austin and particularly by beating the #7 team in the country (in their hometown)

half of the 16 teams in the next round make it to the college world series... so there's a chance....

It is now official. 9-3 win. I wonder who they will play? SDSU beat Fresno St. yesterday so they are on the winners side and play #5 UCLA next. the lady Cougs played a tough schedule this year and it paid off for them. Several top 25 teams. they should end the season in the top 25.

The BCS affects everything. How else would unranked BYU have a DRAMATICALLY better record than #7 Texas, play Texas in Austin, TX, and beat them to move on without a loss while the Horns lose again to disappear from the post-season?

We are ranked about #25. Texas is ranked #12 but was seede #7. they had a freshman pitcher that was the newcomer of the year and I think all conference but she did not do well in the post season.

Anyways we are waiting for the next opponent probably at top 10 team. We lost to UW, ASU, AU and GT this year but we beat 11-20 teams Stanford, Texas, T A&M, and UO. It will be tough to get to the top 8 world series.

We will play best of three against the winner of the Tucson regional, likely to be Arizona. Here's the bracket:

AZ is much better than a 10 seed. They are #4 rank and have won the championship before. We played them this year and they smoked us.
