softball diamond, as well as the
Oregon team's, Cavanaugh cer

Cavanaugh is one of those
plavers who likes to keep
things lively and have a good
time Having fun is important.
Iml according to Cavanaugh,
she knows where to draw the
line.
"Some see it as work. I see it
has having fun." she said "I
can’t play if I'm not having
fun, having a good time and
enjoying things.
"I've learned a little more
this year when to have fun and
when to be serious." she add
ed. "There's a time to have fun
and there's a time to play the
game and be serious."
It's been a different season in
many respects for Cavanaugh
this season. Instead of suffering
from the sophomore jinx, she
has been relatively injury-free,
unlike last year. Oregon went
out and signed two catchers
during the off-season, to help
fill any void behind the plate.
Cavanaugh appreciates the
extra help head coach Teresa
Wilson gave the squad.
"I was kind of relieved and
pretty excited,” Cavanaugh
said. "Last year Cheryl (Cory
ell) was hurt and it was diffi
cult for me because I had to
play hurt. This year we have
some other options instead of
bringing in Kristi (Okuhara)
from second or third base in an
emergency situation.”
"The big factor is that she

Wilson added. “Last year she
had to play on an injured .inkle
all year. She's hung in there
this year. l.ast season she was
slowed down a bit. but she’s
healthy now and a lot faster."
