The Utes are now fourth in the Pac-12 with 32 home runs hit this season.
Road Utes: Utah is 2-1 in true road contests this season, picking up wins at UNC Greensboro (3-1 on Feb. 25) and No. 24 New Mexico (6-1 on Mar. 4).
Fast Starts: The Utes have scored first in 16 of 26 games this season and are 14-2 in those contests.
Utah has managed to score in the first inning seven times this year and is 6-1 when tallying a run in the first frame.
Hitting Through Hoops: Junior shortstop Kelsi Hoopiiaina (Riverton, Utah) went 5-for-7 at the plate in the two games Wednesday against Southern Utah with hit three home runs for three RBI.
Hoopiiaina has seven home runs this season and has hit 15 round-trippers over her career. She hit a grand slam that proved to be the game-winning in Utah's 5-1 victory over Howard on Saturday.
Nielson Is the Reigning Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week: Senior right-hander Generra Nielson (Blanding, Utah) picked up the win in the first contest of the SUU doublheader as she posted a 1.17 ERA through 6.0 innings of work during the day.
Nielson allowed one earned run on four hits, while striking out nine SUU hitters and walking two. With the win in the first game, Nielson moved to 15-2 this season and 36-16 during her Utah career.
Nielson became the first-ever Utah softball athlete to earn a weekly honor from the Pac-12 as she was named the Pitcher of the Week on Mar. 19.
She threw a no-hitter in the first game of the Mar. 12 doubleheader against Colgate. The no-hitter was the second of her Utah career, and the 25th in school history.
Nielson has nine games of 10 or more strikeouts this season and she has reached that mark 14 times over her career.
