Kasparek (4-3) scattered three hits and one walk in his eight shutout innings to earn a win in his third consecutive start. In the three outings, he has allowed just one run on five hits while striking out 25 over 22 innings. Cole Green preserved UT's second shutout in four games allowing just one hit in a scoreless ninth to pick up his third save of the season. Kasparek, who missed all of 2007 season recovering from an injury, finished his performance riding a streak of 21.2 scoreless innings. The last run he allowed was in the first inning of a non-conference win over Baylor on April 22. The Longhorns were able to scratch out two runs in another outing where they left 10 or more runners on base. Texas left the bases loaded in both the second and eighth innings, but it did not haunt them like it did in Saturday's loss. Texas (29-19, 12-12 Big 12) broke the scoring seal in the bottom of the second. Kyle Russell drew a walk and an error on a bunt attempt by Russell Moldenhauer put runners on first and second. Brandon Belt followed with a single through the right side to plate Russell. After Preston Clark struck out, Cameron Rupp reached on a walk to loaded the bases, but the next two Horns were retired to hold the UT lead to 1-0. The Longhorns manufactured a run in the third. Travis Tucker was hit by a pitch, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Jordan Danks and scored on a double down the rightfield line by Moldenhauer to inflate the cushion to 2-0. Craig Fritsch (3-3) was the tough-luck loser for Baylor who dropped to 28-22 overall and 10-14 in Big 12 action. He allowed two runs, one earned on three hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings. Brandon Belt was the lone player to log two or more hits in the game, going 2-for-4 with one RBI.
The victories moved Texas to 27-20-2 as it heads into the Big 12 Tournament next weekend, while Texas A&M Corpus Christi fell to 21-29. Barnhill (7-10) tossed her sixth career complete game and third career shutout in the nightcap after senior starter Meagan Denny (19-8) recorded a complete game victory in game one. The Texas Softball team has earned the No. 4 seed in the 2008 Big 12 Softball Championship after finishing the regular season with a 9-9 conference record. The Big 12 Softball Championship returns to ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City on Friday-Sunday, May 9-11 for the 13th consecutive year.
"Cat is obviously a great addition to our staff," Lenti said. "To have a player of her caliber who has experienced success at the level she has, be a member of our coaching staff will only help take our program to a higher level." Osterman, a fixture on the USA Softball scene since 2001, helped the national team to its second World Cup Gold Medal and the team Gold at the Pan American Games in Brazil last summer.

LADY HORNS OUTGUNNED BY UCONN IN NCAAs -- Inside and out, Maya Moore was too much for Texas.
Connecticut's fabulous freshman scored 24 points and the Huskies shot a blistering 60 percent from the field to beat Texas 89-55 on Tuesday night in the second round of the NCAA tournament. The top-seeded Huskies advanced to the Greensboro Regional semifinals on Sunday against Old Dominion. It's the 15th consecutive season top-seeded UConn (34-1) has advanced to the regional semifinals. Renee Montgomery added 17 points and Tina Charles had 15 for the Huskies, who routed Cornell 89-47 in the opening round. Carla Cortijo scored 18 points and Earnesia Williams added 12 to lead the eighth-seeded Longhorns (22-13), who had won six of seven -- including a 72-55 victory against Minnesota in the first round. Moore was everywhere on the floor, grabbing 12 rebounds and blocking three shots. She hit six of her first seven shots, including four 3-pointers en route to her first 20-point game since scoring 29 against LSU on Feb. 25. Texas had no answer for her. Longhorns coach Gail Goestenkors is one of the rare coaches to have success against Connecticut. She led Duke to a 68-67 victory in Hartford on Jan. 3, 2004, ending UConn's 69-game home winning streak. Then she coached the Blue Devils past the Huskies 63-61 in overtime in the regional finals at Bridgeport in the 2006 NCAA tournament. It was the only loss by the Huskies in their past 34 NCAA tournament games in Connecticut. Despite Goestenkors' recent success against Connecticut, Huskies coach Geno Auriemma wasn't worried. "If we play our 'A' game, we're going to win," Auriemma said on Monday. "I like to be in the situation where, if we lose, it's because we didn't play well enough." The Huskies certainly were at their best Tuesday night. Connecticut jumped all over Texas, hitting 12 of its first 17 shots to go up 31-13 in the first 9 minutes. The Huskies were making either layups or 3-pointers in building the early lead. Moore hit four 3s during that spurt and had 14 points before the midway point of the first half. The Huskies led 47-30 at the break, shooting 68 percent from the field (21-for-31). Just as in their first-round victory against Cornell, the Huskies got layup after layup. Connecticut finished with 52 points in the paint. Auriemma, not happy with the Huskies' defensive effort in the first half, got them to clamp down in the second half. Texas scored only six points in the first 10 minutes of the second period as Connecticut put the game away. The Longhorns were trying to advance to the regional semifinals for the first time since 2004.

Behind the top-five finishes from Yarrison and Kelly and an All-America swim from sophomore Susana Escobar, Texas sits in eighth place with 51 points heading into day two. Yarrison completed her six dives with a total of 331.60 and held a 56.5 point lead over Hawaii’s Emma Friesen going into Friesen’s final dive. However, Friesen totaled 61.1 points on her final dive, also the final dive of the session, to win with 336.20 points. Kelly also added a career-best NCAA finish, earning her second All-America honor by taking fourth on the one-meter at 308.65. On Friday, Kelly landed her second top-five finish in as many nights, as she placed third in the three-meter diving event. Texas sophomore Susana Escobar smashed her previous personal best in the 1,650 freestyle to highlight the final session for the Longhorns Saturday evening at the 2008 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championship. Escobar added 7 points to the Longhorns final tally Saturday, as Texas finished in 14th place with 87 points. Arizona captured the NCAA team title with 484 points, and Auburn took second with 348 points.
Texas finished the three-day meet in second place with 406 points, marking the seventh second-place finish to go along with nine NCAA Championships for 30th-year head coach Eddie Reese.

The Penn Relays run from Thursday-Saturday, April 24-26 on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania. UT's distance medley quartet of sophomore Lauren Salisbury, senior Tameka Kincy, junior Katara Rosby (2:09.4) and sophomore anchor Betzy Jimenez were clocked in 11:23.98. Michigan won the event in a time of 10:49.58. In the third heat of the collegiate women's 4x400 event, LSU came from behind to win the heat in 3:34.13, edging Miami (FL) which ran a 3:34.21, with Texas third at 3:35.1. Yet, the Longhorn quartet of junior Alex Anderson, freshman Chantel Malone, Kincy and senior Chauntae Bayne were disqualifed at the conclusion of the heat.
Texas built on its success from the 2007 Penn Relays, when they won both the DMR and the 4xMile, but did not compete in the 4x800. Not only did the victory in the 4x800 this year complete the distance triple, but it was UT’s first ever victory in that event at the Penn Relays. The Horns took the 4x800-meter relay title in 7:23.51, ahead of LSU (7:24.42) and last year’s champion Columbia (7:24.82). Junior Tevan Everett led off in 1:52.7 and handed to senior Darren Brown, who finished his half in 1:52.2. Junior Kyle Miller completed the third leg in 1:50.3, pulling the Longhorns even with LSU at the final exchange. Junior Jacob Hernandez ran the anchor leg in 1:48.3 to give UT the victory.
The quartet, comprised of All-Americans, NCAA and Big 12 champions and world record holders, rounded their home track at the Mike A. Myers Track and Soccer Stadium on Thursday in a record-setting seven minutes, 17.63 seconds. Junior Tevan Everett, redshirt junior Kyle Miller, senior Leo Manzano and junior Jacob Hernandez combined to break a 27-year old record of 7:18.1 (hand timed) clocked by Larry Johnson, Chris Bucknall, George Collins and Owen Hamilton in 1981. It marks the first time since 1988 a UT relay has cracked the top five in the 3,200-meter race. • TEXAS TENNIS - TEXAS GOLF •  • TEXAS LONGHORN TENNIS AND GOLF FROM GOHORNS.COM • 2007-8 UT MEN'S TENNIS SCHEDULE 2007-8 UT WOMEN'S TENNIS SCHEDULE
