No. 1 UCLA Shuts Out Cougars 6-0

FRESNO -- The 23-1 UCLA Bruins are ranked No. 1 in the country and displayed their talent Thursday in a 6-0 shutout of BYU (9-5) at the Hedrick's Hallowell Chevrolet Classic hosted by Fresno State University. The Cougars look to rebound tomorrow against No. 15 DePaul and Cal Poly.

Bruin pitcher Keira Goerl allowed only one hit, a single by All-American Oli Keohohou, and struck out 13 Cougars in seven innings on the mound.

Freshman Brooke Boyce (2-1) allowed six hits in 2.1 innings on the mound. Cynthia Fallowfield provided solid relief in 3.2 innings and gave up only two hits while striking out three batters.

BYU is 0-2 all-time against the Bruins after suffering a 10-2 loss last season in the UNLV Tournament.

BYU will finish play in the tournament on Saturday with a first-ever match-up against St. Johns and a rematch of yesterday's game versus host Fresno State.
