UVU sophomore Daniel Dickinson is tied with Chris Benson for the most steals in UVU history with 34. He tied the record on Tuesday with a pair of stolen bases against Utah. On the year, he is a perfect 24-24 on the base paths, which has him eighth in the country and leading the WAC.
 
CAMPER EARNS THIRD BUSTER POSEY WATCH LIST NOMINATION
Senior catcher Burke Camper was named to the watch list for the annual Buster Posey Award, given to the nation's top catcher. He has been a key to the UVU offense, leading them with a .464 on-base percentage and tied for second on the team with 13 home runs.
