COLLEGE STATION -- The BYU women's softball team rebounded from a bad 9-1 loss Friday and defeated No. 24 Texas A&M 2-0, Saturday. The Cougars defeated McNeese State 2-1 in the earlier game of the day to improve to 5-3 on the season.

After a horrible day on the mound yesterday against Texas A&M that saw BYU give up 14 hits and nine runs, the Cougars recovered with two excellent games of pitching and defense to finish the tournament in a 3-1 tie with the host Aggies.

Against the Aggies, senior transfer Mandy Flint (1-1) pitched all seven innings and gave up only two hits.

The Cougars got their offense rolling in the fourth inning. Freshman Ashlyn Russell and senior Brooke Cadiente walked to place runners on first and second. Freshman Ianeta Lei hit a double, a line drive down the left line, to score both runners.

Against McNeese State, freshman Niki Andersen (2-2) pitched all seven innings giving up five hits and only one run. However, the Cougars trailed 1-0 going into the bottom on the seventh inning.

Junior Oli Keohohou and Lei singled to place runners on first and second. Senior Cynthia Fallowfield singled up the middle to score Keohohou and tie the game a one run apiece.

With runners on first and third, sophomore Milli Jones drew a walk to load the bases. Sophomore Lauren Watson singled to score Lei for the game-winning RBI.

"Our pitchers threw great games today," head coach Gordon Eakin said. "We battled against a good ranked team and it was a big win for our young team."

The Cougars travel to California next weekend to play five games in three day at the UC Santa Barbara Tournament. The Cougars will face host UC Santa Barbara, San Diego, Cal St. Northridge, Kansas and a hope to acenge an opening weekend lost to Cal-Poly.
