THE WEEKEND
Colorado State will begin Mountain West Conference action this week as it heads to San Diego State for a three-game series starting Friday. The Rams will face the Aztecs on Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m., MT and finish the series on Sunday with a 1 p.m., MT first pitch.

LAST TIME OUT
Colorado State opened its home schedule last week hosting the Colorado State Classic. The Rams posted a 2-3 record over the five games at Ram Field, with both victories against Purdue. CSU struggled to convert baserunners to runs as it stranded 23 over the five games.

OPPONENT SCOUT
Aztecs: San Diego State posted a 17-11 mark in its non-conference schedule, suffering three loses to Top-25 teams. SDSU was scheduled to play the USA National Team earlier this week but was canceled due to rain. The Aztecs will play the Mexico National Team in an exhibition later this month and finish their non-conference slate facing San Diego at the end of April. SDSU sits in fourth place in the MW standings.

SCORING RUNS
The Rams' offense exploded last weekend in the first game against Purdue, putting up a season-high 11 runs. Eight of those runs came from home runs as CSU launched four homers in the win. Ashley Ruiz belted her third and fourth homers of the year to account for four RBI.

EXTRA BASES
CSU has recorded 39 extra base hits this season, which include eight triples. Corina Gamboa leads the squad with nine doubles - tied for second in the Mountain West and No. 19 in the country.

SEASON OPENING RECORDS
Colorado State began the season at the Texas Classic, winning its opener to Texas A&M - Corpus Christi. Head Coach Jen Fisher is now 5-5 in season openers and the Rams are 7-13 in openers since 2003.

ROOKIE OUTING
True freshman Danielle Serna made her collegiate debut in the 2020 season opener. The pitcher, who is from Austin, got the nod and threw a complete-game shutout against Texas A&M -Corpus Christi at the Texas Classic. Serna also appeared in two other games that weekend, earning her second win against Wichita State to finish the week.

FROM THE CIRCLE
The Colorado State pitching staff has been doing its part as it holds a 2.54 ERA - the third lowest in the MW and No. 57 in the nation. Jessica Jarecki leads the battery with a 2.41 ERA with 64 innings pitched and 39 strikeouts. Taylor Gilmore follows with a 2.72 ERA in 54 innings pitched and 43 Ks.

SWIPING BASES
The Rams do not sit on the top of the stolen bases standings, but Jordan Acosta has swiped her fair share of bases already this season. The junior has a perfect 6-for-6 mark, which is the sixth most in the Mountain West and the best percentage with that many steals.

GETTING MULTIPLE
After the non-conference schedule, Corina Gamboa and Ashley Michelena led the Rams with multiple hit games, each with seven. The pair have tallied five two-hit games and two three hits games. Ashley Ruiz follows with four games, including a four-hit game.

CAREER OPENER
Senior Jessica Jarecki started her final season with a solid performance from the circle. The senior got the nod against Maryland and delivered a career game, throwing 10 strikeouts on her way to her first win of the season.

NEWCOMERS
The Rams had a big off-season, adding nine newcomers to the team roster. Colorado State added eight freshmen, including a transfer (Tyler Trott) from Baylor. True freshmen Peyton Allen, Julia Cabral, Danielle Serna and Neely Peterson have all made the lineup.
