PROVO -- With six home runs on the day, the Cougars defeated both Rhode Island and Loyola Marymount in St. George, Utah, at the Red Desert Classic. The Cougars are now 5-0 on the season.
Sophomore third baseman Angeline Quiocho came alive at the plate, belting two home runs in both games.
"She became very aggressive offensively and that is exactly what we expect from her," BYU head coach Gordon Eakin said. "As a team we came out with a lot of aggression today."
The Cougars repeated the previous year's performance by winning all five games during the Red Desert Classic.
"I was pleased with the growth of our young players this weekend," Eakin said. "We've still got a lot to work on and a lot more experience to gain."
Against Rhode Island, the Cougars came alive with three runs in the first inning. Back-to-back doubles from freshmen Kristin Delahoussay and Jessica Purcell brought in BYU's first run.
The doubles were followed by a sacrifice fly from Emi Snow Willing to bring in Purcell. Quiocho's first home run came right after the sacrifice fly.
The Cougars did not score again until the fourth inning, when they added four more runs to bring the score to 7-2.
A solo home run from Amanda Vance, her first of the year, came in the fifth inning, which was followed by Quiocho's second home run of the day in the sixth.
Rhode Island scored their final run during the seventh inning when a ground ball to third brought in a base runner. BYU ended the inning without any more damage, and the game ended 9-3.
The Cougars and Loyola Marymount came into the second game 4-0 on the tournament.
Christie Zinanti started in the circle and shut down Loyola Marymount's offense. She gave up two hits and two walks before Chritian Gwyn Trice came in to close the game.
Offensively BYU continued their strength when Quiocho hit her third bomb, a two run homer, during the second inning.
It was followed by two more runs knocked in by Monica Gonzales' double to left field. The inning ended with the Cougars leading 4-0.
During the third inning Purcell singled to center field and reached home off of a two-run home run from Daniela Snow.
Following Snow's bomb, Quiocho stepped into batter's box and hit her fourth home run on the day, her third in three at-bats.
Three more Cougs reached home before the close of the third inning when the score was 10-0.
Loyola Marymount managed to hold BYU scoreless during its remaining inning.
The Cougars travel to Las Vegas for the Louisville Desert Classic. Their first game is on Feb. 14 at 5:00 p.m. against Northwestern State.
