LAST TIME OUT
Colorado State started Mountain West play last week on the road, playing three games at San Diego State. The Rams dropped all three contests, including getting shutout in the final two games. CSU's offense struggled, only registering six hits during the series, but in game one recorded a triple from Ashley York and a homer from Danielle Serna.
Â
HITTING DINGERS
Colorado State has hit 14 home runs so far this season, including hitting one in the last seven of the last nine games dating back to before the Rams' home opener. During that time, CSU has recorded eight homers which included a pair from Peyton Allen against Northern Colorado. Allen leads the Rams with six shots, which is tied for seventh in the Mountain West.
Â
TAKING THREE
Ashley York has hit a team- and Mountain West-high four triples this season, including one against San Jose State last week. She also recorded a triple-bagger against Northern Colorado, Utah Valley and Colgate this season. As a team the Rams have totaled seven triples – two by Hailey Smith and one from Maya Matsubara – while allowing just two.
Â
OPPONENT SCOUT
San Jose State continues Mountain West action with a 16-10 overall record, after a 2-1 mark in last week's conference opener against New Mexico at home. The Spartans went into extra innings in the first game before dropping the contest, 2-1. SJSU took the series after an 8-0 win in six innings in game two before an 11-inning marathon in the finale ending with a 4-3 victory. San Jose State has hovered around the .500 winning mark through the non-conference slate and their 10 loss – seven of them being one-run defeats. The Spartans biggest losses were in the season opener against Montana and against BYU, both by just three runs.
Â
San Jose State's Alyssa Graham leads the squad from the dish, holding a .394 batting average and tallying 37 hits – both rank third in the Mountain West. Trenity Edwards follows with a .341 average, 28 hits and 13 RBI. From the circle, Jenessa Ullegue holds a team- and Mountain West-best 1.25 ERA in 18 appearances, including five starts. She has thrown five complete games with three shutouts and her 11-1 record is the most wins in the league so far this season.
Â
UP NEXT
For the rest of the Mountain West schedule, Colorado State will alternate weekend series at home and away, as it will travel to Utah State for a three-game series next week, April 1-3.
