Southern Idaho softball upset by Southern Nevada at region tournament
The College of Southern Idaho softball team is in Salt Lake City for the Region 18 Tournament.
The Golden Eagles’ game, however, is MIA.
They entered the tournament expecting to face Salt Lake Community College in the winner’s bracket final, but CSI is already in a fight for its playoff life as Southern Nevada stunned the Eagles 5-2 in the second round Thursday.
The Eagles got single runs in the first and fifth innings, with Marie Williams crossing the plate both times. But they left the bases loaded in each of those innings, twice spurning a chance to put more pressure on the Coyotes.
“I really thought in the first inning, Marie hit that double and then Jess (Albertson) got on and we were off to a good start,” CSI coach Nick Baumert told 1450 AM KEZJ. “I thought they were ripe for the picking and we let them hang around. A good team at this level is going to beat you if you let them hang around.”
Back-to-back solo home runs from A.J. Woodward and Alicia Firelein in the fourth inning gave the Coyotes a lead they never relinquished. They pushed across a third run in the frame and added two unearned runs in the seventh inning to provide the final margin.
Southern Nevada and Salt Lake will play for a berth in the region championship round this afternoon.
CSI (41-18) now faces in-state rival North Idaho College at noon today as the Eagles look to battle back around and do what no team has done since North Idaho five years ago: win the region tournament out of the loser’s bracket.
“I told the kids that we were in this position four years ago and we lost this very same game, and we got back to the championship,” Baumert said. “It’s doable, but we have our work cut out for us.”

Bond a Few Degrees - University of San Diego News Center
Inside USD-The scene last Saturday outside of the Jenny Craig Pavilion was abuzz with excitement. Family members, friends, classmates and other graduates took turns getting a picture with new University of San Diego School of Law graduate Neru Joy Utomi shortly after the commencement ceremony. Smiles, laughter, hugs and a few balloons were present. Parents Mike and Stella cherished their daughter’s achievement. Older brother Michael was grateful for a break from his military commitments to be there. Younger brothers, Moses (pictured, far left) , after taking a few serious photos, acted on an impulse and playfully scooped up their sister into their arms and lifted Joy off her feet.
This is the kind of fun that every college student looks forward to at the end of his or her academic journey. For Joy, earning her Juris Doctor degree through USD’s four-year, part-time law program, last Saturday’s celebration couldn’t have ended any better.
Actually, it will continue. At this Sunday’s College of Arts and Sciences undergraduate commencement ceremony, the Utomi family will return to the JCP to celebrate as Moses receives his bachelor’s degree in psychology.
Oh, and don’t forget about Edred, a sophomore Communication Studies and Theatre Arts major. “It’s still two years away and I’m trying not to think about it yet,” he said, “but I’m sure there will be more of the same happiness and joy that’s here today.”
From Nigeria to USD Law Graduate
Getting to this place of happiness was going to happen for Joy Utomi. Born in Benin, Nigeria, the Utomi’s lone daughter among five children, she came to the United States with her parents and older brothers, Michael and Fabian, in 1987. Moses and Edred were born in the U.S.
The family left Nigeria for reasons that many immigrants do: “My parents wanted to give their children better opportunities, better resources, better education, more stability and a brighter future … basically the American Dream,” she said. “My father finished engineering school. They wanted to move to the U.S. It took time to get the appropriate papers and save their money … but they felt they could provide more for us here.”
The family intially came to Southern California, but moved to Las Vegas so Mike could seize opportunities during the city’s industrial boom. Joy completed high school in Las Vegas. She moved to Los Angeles and attended Loyola Marymount University. She considered USD, even checked out the law school, but chose LMU and earned undergraduate degrees in political science and communications. Upon graduation in 2005, she interned with the Las Vegas FOX-TV affiliate as a video editor. A year later, she was at the ABC-TV affiliate as an associate news producer, a job with many responsibilities and tight deadlines.
