Softball travels to
Arkansas for three
■ Oregon softball will face
Arkansas for three games in a
break from tournament play
By Chris Cabot
Oregon Daily Emerald
The Oregon softball team trav
els to Arkansas this weekend to
take on the 11-5 Razorbacks in a
three-game break from early sea
son tournament play.
Three weeks into the season,
the Ducks are 7-3 after tourna
ments in San Marcos, Texas and
Las Vegas.
After the Ducks’ first 10 games,
junior Alyssa Laux is leading the
team with a .469 batting average.
Four other players — Lakeesha
Eversley, Andrea Vidlund, Kristi
Hall and MariLyn Petrick — are
also hitting above the .400 mark.
Laux’s .321 career batting average
is ninth all-time at Oregon.
Vidlund and Ashley Richards
have picked up hits in all but one
of the Ducks’ games, and Eversley
and Laux are riding five garpe hit
ting streaks heading into the
weekend. Vidlund also lea^s the
team in home runs with three and
RBI with 11. J ' . i
Three pitchers have taken the
circle for head coach Brent Rin
con’s Ducks so far this season.
Lindsey Kontra’s 1.56 earned run
average and 16 strikeouts lead the
way. Anissa Meashintubby has a
record of 3-0 and a shutout. Se
nior Connie McMurren picked up
a save for Oregon in a 9-8 victory
over Central Michigan.
In five of the team’s ten games,
the Oregon defense has held the
opposition to under three runs.
This weekend’s games will be
the first ever between Oregon and
Arkansas.

Sports briefs
USC embarrasses Stanford
STANFORD, Calif. (KRT) —
Stanford had little trouble with
USC’s pressure defense Thursday
night, but it had no answers for the
rest of the Trojans’ arsenal.
USC broke open a close game
early in the second half and hand
ed Stanford its worst home loss in
nine years, a 77-58 defeat so thor
ough that fans headed to the
Maples Pavilion exits with seven
minutes remaining.
With a stifling half-court defense
and sizzling shooting, the Trojans
scored the first 10 points of the sec
ond half and grabbed a 15-point ad
vantage with 13 minutes remain
ing. They carved up Stanford with
the precision and poise Stanford
used to win three consecutive
league titles (1999-01).
Stunned, the Cardinal had no re
sponse. The last time it lost this
badly at home: an 86-61 loss to Cal
in 1992-93, the season Stanford
won just seven games.
The loss snapped Stanford’s
four-game winning streak and
dropped the Cardinal (17-7, 10-5)
one game behind Oregon and USC
with three remaining.
“There are six teams that have a
chance to win the conference right
now,” Cardinal head coach Mike
Montgomery said Tuesday. “We
would like to finish on top, but one
game will not be the downfall. The
important thing now is to get
enough wins to ensure a spot in the
NCAA Tournament, and then win
the conference tournament.”

track and field teams begin their
championship season this weekend,
traveling to the Mountain Pacific

Conferences in the University of
Northern Arizona’s Sky dome.
Tentative Duck men’s entries in
clude sprinters Allan Amundson,
Cory Gray, Brandon Holliday and
Sarnie Parker, hurdlers Micah Har
ris and Terry Ellis, middle distance
runners Simon Kimata and Ross
Krempley, high jumpers Jason
Boness, Kyley Johnson and Jake
Homer, horizontal jumpers Foluso
Akinradewo and Derek Strubel,
pole vaulters Trevor Woods, Cody
Howell and Jason Slye, and throw
ers Rian Ingrim, Adam Kriz and
James March.
The Duck women will also enter
a quartet of pole vaulters to com
pete in a who’s who of collegiate
pole vaulting, as the top three en
tries — Arizona’s Amy Linnen
(4.52m, 14-10), UCLA’s Tracy
O’Hara (4.36m, 14-3 1/2) and Wash
ington State’s Tamara Diles (4.35m,
14-3 1/4) —Triave each led the na
tion at some point this season.
A pair of Ducks — juniors
Becky Holliday and Niki Reed
and their season bests of 13-9 3/4
— fill out a group of six likely en
tries in this weekend’s meet that
are ranked among the top eight na
tionally. Sophomore Kirsten Riley,
hopes to improve her NCAA pro
visional mark and personal best of
12-10 to join her Duck teammates
who are already NCAA automatic
qualifiers in the NCAA Champi
onships two weekends away in
Fayetteville, Ark.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 22). Settling into a
new environment requires more change, but
eventually you'll gdt it just right. That's when
you'll find more time for romance in your irfe.
True love can be expensive, though. Don’t spend
more than you can afford. Work together and
pool your resources so that you can get what
you both want.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19>- Today is a 7 - How
long has it been since you spent the whole week
end at home with your family? A person who
doesn't like loud noises deserves more of your
attention.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 7 - Save
some money to play with this weekend, but set
aside enough to pay an old debt. It's amazing
how good you'll feel after that's done. It may
mean you can't afford an extra treat, but you'll
have made a wise choice.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) - Today is a 7 - Don't
forget your the main objective. Hint: Your objec
tive is not to impress people with how smart you
are. That will happen naturally. Use your skills to
raise your income and your status.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 7 - Get
those letters written and bills paid. Be sure to
schedule a break, too. Dinner for two at an ele
gant restaurant, followed by a romantic movie,
would be perfect.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 6 - There's
something nice that you'd like to buy a friend,
but can you afford it? Alone, no, but if you get
some other friends to pitch in, perhaps you can.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7 - This
day gets better as it goes along. Plan to join
friends and your date for a favorite activity as
you can.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 7 - Better
not relax quite yet. There may be a review of your
work. Did you finish the job yet? No more per
sonal phone calls!
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is a 7 - This
will be a wonderful weekend to travel - after you
finish an important job. You may not have been
given this job yet, so hurry and do all the jobs
you already have.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 6 -
There's a lot of confusion, but don't lose sight of
your goals. Watch for good deals on items you
still have to buy. Discuss impending purchases
with your partner to avoid arguments later.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is a 7 -
No point in becoming a workaholic. Finish up the
job quickly so that you can devote more time to
personal matters. Somebody's waiting.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 7 -
Don't let the fun and games intrude upon your
workday, or you'll never get done on time. And
try not to take the job home. You already have
enough at home to keep you busy.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 7 - Hur
ry to put on the finishing touches so that you can
entertain tonight and/or this weekend. Tidy
things up, and buy a bouquet for your dining
room table. Make things nice for a very special
guest.
