■Arizona leads the Pac-10
championships, but the
Ducks’ eyes remain on the
proverbial prize
By Peter Hockaday
for the Emerald
The Pacific-10 Conference is
one of the toughest golf confer
ences in the country — but it’s
also got a touch of inconsisten
cy
At the second round of the
wide-open Pac-10 women’s golf
championships at the Eugene
Country Club Tuesday, every
team except Stanford had a
swing of at least five strokes
from the first round. Most
teams — including Oregon —
improved their first round
scores.
“Today we were much more
comfortable,” said Oregon head
coach Renee Baumgartner.
Every Oregon player im
proved on her first-round out
ing except senior Anika Heuser,
and the team finished fifth after
36 holes of play. The most dra
matic improvements were by
junior Jerilyn White and sen
iors Angie Rizzo and Kylie Wil
son. All three players shot six
strokes lower than their first
round scores. White had the
team’s best score Tuesday, an
even-par 72.
Heuser, despite shooting four
strokes higher than Monday’s
round, still remains only a
stroke behind tournament lead
ers Amanda Moltke-Leth of
UCLA and Mikaela Parmlid of
Southern California.

UO catchers lead the way with home runs
Catcher Kelly Planche led the charge for the Ducks in the first game of the day with a home run.
■ No. 18 Oregon uses the
long ball to crush Portland
State in a double header
By Matt O'Neill
Oregon Daily Emerald
Missy Coe crushed the soft
ball a good 240 feet, all the way
into the parking lot of the Out
door Program’s garage.
In fact, the fences seemed
very close for both of the No. 18
Oregon softball team’s catchers
Tuesday afternoon. Coe, a soph
omore, and Kelly Planche, a
junior, hit big home runs to lead
the Ducks to a pair of wins.
Most of the balls hit by the
home team were at least to the
warning track as the offense
clicked on all cylinders.
The Ducks (32-18 overall, 4-6
Pacific-10 Conference) swept
Portland State (20-30) for the
second time this year, using the
eight-run rule in the first game
(8-0), and riding the Coe bomb
in the second to a 3-2 win.
In that second game Coe’s
blast came in the bottom of the
fifth inning with the Ducks al
ready ahead 1-0, proving to be
