SAN -- In an extra innings ball game in San Diego, the BYU women's softball team trumped the San Diego State Aztecs, 2-0, to advance to 28-14 overall and 5-2 in the Mountain West.

The game began as a pitchers duel with a shut-out performance from freshman hurler Paige Affleck, who threw all eight innings without giving up a run.

In the bottom of the seventh the Aztecs loaded the bases with one out, but the Cougar defense kept the Aztecs from scoring, giving BYU another chance to best the Aztecs

Freshman Caschjen Davis singled to the shortstop to get on base, and a triple from sophomore Amanda Vance brought in the first run of the night. Senior Daniela Snow grounded out to second base, which allowed Vance to reach home and gave the Cougars a 2-0 lead.

During the bottom of the inning BYU needed to hold onto its lead to defeat the Aztecs, who lead the conference standings. Affleck retired three straight batters to record her ninth win of the season.

The Cougars remain at San Diego State for a 1 p.m. contest on Saturday. The game is available via livestats at www.byucougars.com.

PROVO -- The BYU women's softball team (24-23, 3-1) hosts in-state opponent Southern Utah in a doubleheader beginning at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, before continuing Mountain West Conference play with a doubleheader at UNLV on Thursday and two additional games at No. 19 San Diego State on Friday and Saturday.

Tuesday's twinbill will be the fourth and fifth meeting between the Cougars and the T-birds this season. In all three games earlier in the season BYU came out on top. The Cougs lead the all-time series 29-4, and hold a 13-1 record in the last three years.

The Cougars come into conference play second in the standings, just behind San Diego State (29-10, 2-0), while UNLV (19-21-1, 0-2) comes in last in the conference.

The game against the Aztecs will mark BYU's eighth game against a ranked opponent this season. The Cougars are 1-6 against their ranked foes, but five of the losses came against top-10 teams. They are 1-1 against ranked opponents outside of the top-10.
