DESERET DUEL BACKGROUND
In 2007, the University of Utah, BYU and Deseret First Credit Union partnered to create the Deseret First Duel, a celebration of one of the nation's oldest and most spirited college rivalries.
The university that wins the Deseret First Duel each year has its name permanently engraved on large granite monuments located at both schools and holds bragging rights for the following year and beyond.
BYU and Utah compete against each other in baseball, men's and women's basketball, football, women's gymnastics, women's soccer, softball, men's and women's tennis, women's volleyball, and men's and women's swimming.
Points are awarded to the school that wins each game, meet, or match. A team trophy is also presented to the winner in each sport. Utah claimed the title in 2009, 2013, 2014, and 2015. This year, BYU currently leads the Utes, 15-14.
HOT START STATS
Utah has started off aggressively this season, out-scoring their foes 17-7 in the first inning and 77-13 over the second, third and fourth innings combined.
Last year the team went 16-5 when leading after the first inning and those early leads have helped the team hold on for late victories. These last two years, Utah is 45-4 when leading after four innings, 44-2 when leading after five innings and 38-1 when leading after six innings.
PRODUCTION PAYING OFF
Last season, Utah went 30-5 when scoring three runs or more and this year, the team is 16-1 when it passes the threshold.
