Ducks in need of momentum
■ Although it has momentum, the women’s golf team
will need more at a competitive tournament in Tempe
By Peter Hockaday
for the Emerald
The women’s golf team has won
two tournaments in a row, is
ranked 31st in the nation and has
two seniors that have combined
for three victories this year.
You can throw all that out the
window for this weekend’s tour
nament in Tempe, Ariz.
The Ping/ Arizona State Invita
tional, which starts today, is the
first step in the Ducks’ season
ending journey.
That includes the Pacific-10
Championships later this month,
the NCAA West Regionals in early
May, and the NCAA Champi
onships in Sunriver later that
month.
But first the Ducks have to deal
with the field at the Ping/ASU In
vitational this weekend, including
five of the country’s top 10 teams.
The favorite at the Ping is No. 3
Arizona State. The Sun Devils
won their tournament last year,
and are coming off their victory of
at the San Jose Invitational last
month.
The Ducks rely on their tag
team style of
play to take on
the competi
tion at the Ping.
Three Ducks
have paced the
team this year,
while two —
seniors Pam Sowden and Kylie
Wilson — have won individual ti
tles.
Sowden and Wilson will join
junior Jerilyn White and senior
Angie Rizzo in their quest for a
third straight tournament win.
White was the top finisher for Ore
gon at the Ping/ASU Invitational
last year, while Rizzo has been
consistent for the Ducks all sea
son.
The quartet of upperclassmen
has put together a banner season
for the Ducks. With three tourna
ment victories and strong per
formances in the fall, including
two seconds and a seventh place,
it’s hard to believe the Ducks
aren’t ranked higher than their
current No. 31.
The Ping will be the Ducks’
tune-up for the Pac-10 Champi
onships, to be held in two weeks
at the Eugene Country Club. Nine
Pac-10 teams will compete in
Tempe, four of which are in the
top six in the country.
Oregon has won its last two
tournaments, partly due to weak
competition at the Lady Aztec and
Colby/Santa Clara Invitationals.
The Ping will test the Ducks’
abilities against Pac-10 foes for the
first time since a 14th place finish
at the Arizona Wildcat Invitation
al in February.
Softball
continued from page 7
“We’re going to be ready to go and
make up for that last game. ”
While Welch and senior Jill
Robinson, who leads the team in
home runs (10) and runs batted in
(33), need to continue their offen
sive attack, Gamez said he wants
his whole lineup to produce.
Offensive consistency is not the
only concern.Gamez would also
like continued improvement from
his pitchers.
Sophomore Connie McMurren
(9-9) pitched a complete game in
the 3-2 extra-inning loss to the
Wildcats, while senior Danielle
Haag (3-0) pitched a two-hiter
against the Sun Devils.
“Connie pitched a great game
against Arizona, held them to
three runs, and anytime you can
do that, you know you have done
something right,” Gamez said.
The Bruins are led by senior
Julie Marshall, who went 5 for 9
last weekend with three runs
scored and four RBIs. Amanda
Freed batted .600 with a double
and three runs scored.
The Ducks have to contain
Husky lead-off hitter Rosie
Leutzinger, who has a school
record 20-game hitting streak and
is also career leader in stolen bases
with 106.
“We’re playing real well right
now,” Shelton said. “We’re getting
good pitching performances and in
field and outfield both have
stepped up their games a little bit. ”
