WOMEN’S TENNIS The Utah women’s tennis team opened Pac-12 play with back-to-back wins against Oregon and Washington State. The Utes closed out the month with a 5-2 loss to No. 9 USC as Marcela Lopez partnered up with Ana Luiza Cruz against No. 14 ranked Eryn Cayetano and Emma Charney and claimed a 6-2 victory. Kat Lyman picked up a big 6-2, 6-2 win over No. 68 Cayetano in the No. 4 spot in singles play. Cayetano was previously undefeated with a 16-0 record before Lyman came out victorious and handed Cayetano her first loss of the season. The Utes close out their regular season with home competitions against Arizona State, Arizona and Colorado before the Pac-12 Championships in Ojai, California. BASEBALL Since its hottest start since at least 1980, the Utah baseball team has continued to dominate during Pac-12 play. The Utes have won three out of four conference series as well as beating No. 3 Oregon State in a home match-up. The team is currently 21-9 overall with a 7-5 conference mark. Against CSUN on March 5 two Utes set program records. Center fielder Kai Roberts tallied two stolen bases to register 53 in his career, passing Kody Davis (2012-16) and Corey Shimada (2006-09) for the most by a Ute. Then in the ninth, southpaw Micah Ashman came on for what became Ashman’s program-record- setting 18th collegiate save. He surpassed Tyler Wagner, who closed out 17 games from 2010-12. The Utes will travel to Arizona State for a three- game series from April 12-14 before returning home for a midweek matchup against UVU and welcoming Washington to Smith’s Ballpark on the weekend.
