The wins moved the team's record to 5-7 in the spring and pushed its consecutive-win streak to three.



Head coach Dave Borelli said the team had more energy against San Diego than it did Sunday against UTSA.

Perseverance of green initiative commendable

Published Mar 10, 2009

In the wake of the recession and the university having to cut back in various departments and Vision In Action programs, it is encouraging to see that the Purple Bike Program has garnered enough interest and support to not only persevere but to expand.

These days, there are so many green initiatives that it is easy to become jaded. Many don't get the chance to catch on before they fizzle. But the Purple Bike Program is proof that, with strong leadership and some support, a sustainable initiative can make meaningful change.

The Lady Frogs earned their 20th win of the season by knocking off the Mountain West Conference-leading Utah Utes Saturday in Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.

Despite trailing by as much as 13 early in the game, the team bounced back to win 53-47.



The Utes took a three-point lead into the locker room at halftime thanks to a made layup on the last shot of the half, but the Lady Frogs began the second half on a 8-2 run to take the lead for the first time.

Published Mar 6, 2009

The baseball team plated four runs in the eighth inning in a come-from-behind 6-5 win over Wichita State on Friday night at Lupton Stadium. Three of those runs came on first baseman Matt Vern's three-run home run.

Vern said he was simply taking advantage of an opportunity.



"I'm just blessed to have the opportunity to come up there and do that for my team when the time calls," Vern said. "It was good for us, and I was just out there to compete for the team and help get the team a win."

Fantasy Baseball: World Baseball Classic offers sneak peak at players

Published Mar 6, 2009

The World Baseball Classic is officially underway after Japan knocked off China 4-0 early Thursday morning.

These games might not really matter to your fantasy leagues, but you do get a chance to see some of your favorite players face off against some live pitching with something on the line.



Seeing Ichiro Suzuki go 0-5 was a little disheartening, but it was just the first game of the Classic and he hadn't played at all for the Mariners in spring training yet, so don't freak out owners. I think Ichiro will still hit .310, score 100 runs and steal 40 bags.
