The U softball team's season, which has "gone ridiculous" (as coach Mona Stevens said last week) continued on its wayward path this weekend.

Apparently, sweeping an opponent with just one win on the season and a five-percent victory rate is precious little preparation for the beginning of the conference season. Or so it must seem, anyway, for the U baseball team. Just removed from an utter annihilation of in-state rival Southern Utah, the Utes saw the buzzsaw turned on themselves this past weekend, as they were swept by MWC foe New Mexico in Albuquerque, losing 13-9, 20-11 and 13-12, respectively.
