SERIES AT A GLANCE
ON DECK
Utah heads to Stanford this weekend for three Pac-12 contests. The Utes have won the last five series against the Cardinal, including the last two in Palo Alto.
Â
BARRERA BREAKING OUT FOR UTES
Alyssa Barrera leads the Pac-12 and sits seventh nationally with five triples, three of which came against Cal. Over the last five weekends, Barrera is hitting .500 with a .771 slugging percentage and 14 runs batted in
Â
She ranks 11th in the Pac-12 with a .389 batting average and 12th with 42 hits. In conference play, she ranks seventh in batting average (.458), eighth in on-base percentage (.519) and 11th in slugging (.708)
Â
Barrera, named to the 2018 USA Softball Player of the Year "Watch List", also made the short list of finalists for the 2017 Schutt Sports/NFCA Division I National Freshman of the Year award.
Â
Last season, she hit .322 in 2018, the second-best average on the team. As a freshman, she ranked sixth in the Pac-12 and led the Utes with 46 runs scored.
Â
She was also named to the All-Pac-12 Second Team and All-Freshman Team.
Â
BONSTROM BLOWING UP
After her first three Pac-12 series, freshman Ellessa Bonstrom has shown she will be a force to be reckoned with in years to come.
Â
In Pac-12 play, she is third with a .952 slugging percentage. She also ranks fifth in on-base percentage (.552), fourth with eight walks and ninth in home runs (3),
Â
DICKMAN HAS BEEN DYNAMITE
Over the last five weekends, Ally Dickman is batting .362 with a team-high four home runs and 15 RBI. She is also slugging .655 and for the season ranks among the top 20 in the Pac-12 (.615).
Â
The senior owns the longest hitting streak (10 games) and on-base streak (12 games) for the Utes this season and is currently the toughest at bat in the Pac-12 with just five strikeouts in 91 at bats. In fact, her teammate Barrera is second in the conference (6 K's in 108 AB's)
Â
DYNAMIC DUO TURNING TWO
Utah has turned 19 double plays, the most in the Pac-12 and 20th nationally. The Utes turned three in a game vs. Ohio State earlier this year.
Â
Julia Noskin and BreOnna Castaneda have combined for 166 assists, 35 more than second best in the conference (Gortarez-Loomis, ASU)
