OREM, Utah — Utah Valley University travels to Logan for an in-state midweek contest on Tuesday at 4 p.m. at Utah State. It's the first of two games between the schools this season, with the Aggies coming to Orem on April 21.

The Wolverines (11-16) were swept at Grand Canyon to open WAC play and have lost five straight overall, but three of the five games were one-run contests. UVU is 2-5 this season in games decided by a single run.

Devyn Cretz had good week in the circle, finishing with a 2.33 ERA in 18.0 innings while striking out 16 against just two walks, but took tough-luck losses in each of her three starts. She is currently 5-8 with a team-leading 3.14 ERA and also has three saves. Her earned run average is third among all WAC pitchers and her three saves lead the conference.

Rien Milliken leads the team at the plate, batting .382 with four home runs and 13 batted in. She is tied for the team lead in home runs with Basia Query, Peyton Prigge and Siena Sandoval. Linnah Rebolledo is batting .369 with three home runs and a team-high 21 runs batted in.

As a team, Utah Valley has hit 23 home runs, which is tied with Tarleton for second in the WAC and one behind New Mexico State. The Wolverines have six players who have hit at least three home runs so far this season.

The teams will play a doubleheader on Friday starting at 2 p.m. MT and a single game on Saturday beginning at 1 p.m. MT.
