Taran Alvelo earned her 20th win of the season as the top-ranked Washington softball team beat Utah 2-1 Sunday for its third consecutive series sweep.
The Huskies (39-2, 10-2 Pac-12) limited the Utes to three hits and five base runners over the three games.
Alvelo, the eighth UW pitcher with multiple 20-win seasons, gave up two hits, no walks and struck out seven. She’s the third pitcher in the nation to reach 20 wins with just one loss.
Noelle Hee’s two-run homer in the fifth inning gave the Huskies all their runs. It was her fifth this season.
