MEN'S TENNIS: Three Aggies -- Jakob Asplund, Mike Banks and Matt Searle -- reached the round of 16 in Thursday's opening day of the Utah Fall Tennis Classic at BYU.

Asplund made his way to Friday's action with a win over Stefan Simikic, 6-3, 6-4. Banks took a win over Brandon Nelson, 6-3, 6-2. Searle defeated Kevin Albaugh and Jorge L. Maldonado.

SOFTBALL: Utah State's softball team will kick off fall action with an Alumni Game at LaRee and LeGrand Johnson Softball Field at noon today. Admission is free, but due to the USU-Utah football game, parking at the softball field will be $5.

Numerous Aggie alums are returning to play against the current Utah State lineup, including DeAnna Earsley, who played at USU from 1990-93, Jennifer Power (1991-94) and Tanya Norton (1992-95). The Alumni roster will also include Leslie Higley (2003-05), Lauren Guzman (2004-07), Jill Bruins (2004, 2007), Shawn Bjarnson (2005- 06), Ashley Bellum (2006-07), Jamie Fife (2006-07) and Jami Uragami (2006-07). Heather Haak (2005-08) will also take the field for the Alumni as the most recent to graduate from USU.
