Softball bids seniors farewell
and eyes the up-and-comers
■ Oregon reached NCAA
Regionals for the second
straight season; six players
made all-Conference teams
By Matt O'Neill
Oregon Daily Emerald
There were some lofty goals set
in the beginning — such as jump
ing every story in the Emerald.
Sometimes those goals are met,
sometimes
they’re not.
Here’s the re
mainder of the
Oregon softball
season recap
that got cut off
yesterday:
Senior Jill Robinson found her
self in the top-ten of four other ca
reer categories. She is sitting sec
ond with 35 doubles, one ahead of
Lindsey Welch’s 34. Robinson’s
224 hits are good enough for third,
while Welch’s 212 base-knocks
puts her in fourth.
Welch and Robinson are also 1-2
in runs batted in. Welch’s 145 Tib
bies are No. 1, while Robinson’s
136 are second all-time. Robinson
is No. 1 in career at-bats as well
with 762.
The three seniors will leave a
gaping hole in the program on and
off the field. But Connie McMur
ren is confident that the trio of
freshmen who saw significant time
this season are ready to step up
their play next season and fill the
shoes of the departed leaders.
“You can’t replace the seniors
because both on and off the field
they were leaders,” McMurren
said.

Oregon expects more quality play from sophomore Connie McMurren next season.
and confidence will do for her
game was pitcher/outfielder An
drea Vidlund. Coming in as a high
ly-touted recruit, Vidlund had the
look of a stunned deer in the head
lights early on. As the season wore
on, though, she gained more confi
dence from competing at the Pac
10 level.
Vidlund’s pitching record
showed her growth throughout the
season. Her 17-8 record was the
best on the team and she pitched
some important games down the
stretch.
Oregon will welcome four new
faces next season and Gamez is
very pleased with the class that
features two transfers and two
freshmen.
Shortstop Kate Peterson from
Utah and outfielder Lisa Wangler
are the team’s freshmen. Kristi
Hall, from Sacramento, and Texas
Tech’s Lindsey Heij round out the
class as the transfers.
Sports brief
Volleyball adds assistant
Carl Ferreira’s master plan for
the Oregon volleyball program is
starting to take shape.
On Thursday, Ferreira hired his
final assistant to help turn things
around for a program that had a
season to forget.
Ferreira went with Anna
Reznicek, who was one of his star
pupils while at Idaho. Reznicek

graduates from Idaho this year
and will assume her coaching role
in the fall.
The Hermiston native played
three seasons for Ferreira and is
seventh on Idaho’s career assist
list with 1,410.
“Anna will effortlessly emulate
everything we are trying to do,”
Ferreira said. “She knows what
we’re trying to do and knows our
offensive and defensive systems
as well as the developmental
process that we require.”
“...an unqualified delight
