Sports brief Softball sweeps Boston College in Las Vegas After winning their first three 1 games of the weekend and extend ing a winning streak to five games, the Oregon softball team dropped one to'the Irish of Notre Dame, 9-3, on Sunday. The Ducks’ record now stands at 14-8, while the Irish im proved to 6-7. The weekend began for Oregon with two wins on Friday over Boston College, 3-0, and the host UNLV, 6-4. The Ducks’ three runs against the Eagles came on an An drea Vidlund third-inning home run, and freshman Lindsey Kontra pitched the entire seven innings al lowing only four hits and one walk while striking out three. Against UNLV, the Ducks put five runs on the board in the third and won with the combined pitching of Anissa Meashintubby and Connie McMurren. The senior, McMurren, came in during the fifth to relieve Meashintubby and did not allow a run in her two and two thirds innings while striking out five Rebel hitters. On Saturday, Oregon faced Boston College again and came away with a 3-1 victory. McMurren handled the pitching chores for Ore gon, throwing a complete game with four strikeouts, allowing two walks, three hits and one run. Facing Notre Dame, Oregon fell behind 6-0 then came back with two runs in the fourth. The Irish came back with three more runs of their own in the fifth and allowed only one more Oregon run in the seventh. Oregon head coach Brent Rincon was pleased with the Ducks’ play during the tournament at UNLV. “For us to gain momentum head ing into Pac-10 play next weekend is key,” he said. “We feel like we’ve been putting together a nice streak of games and we just need to contin ue to work hard both offensively and defensively.” — Chris Cabot Chris Christoffersen and the Ducks were selected as a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and will play Montana at 2 p.m. Thursday in Sacramento, Calif. NCAA continued from page 7 After Moos’ speech, the Ducks entered to a standing ovation from the crowd. The players then cut down the Mac Court nets in cele bration of their first outright Pac 10 title since 1939. “There was no cutting down of the nets when they won the title in Los Angeles,” Moos said. “We wanted to come back home and do that here.” Every team member got a piece of the nets, including managers and coaches. Head coach Ernie Kent — the Pac-10 Coach of the Year — and All-Pac-10 selection Freddie Jones were the last Ducks to cut the nets and received the biggest applause. After a video of season high lights, Kent gave a speech thank ing the Oregon fans. “The No. 1 stat not in (the video) is that we are first with the fans,” Kent said. “It’s been a won derful ride. Our focus now is to get four wins and get to the Final Four.” When the selection show start ed, the crowd was silent in antici pation of the Oregon announce ment. Some fans groaned when Cincinnati was announced as a No. 1 seed, which could have adverse ly affected the Ducks’ seeding. “After they put Cincy as a No. 1, we were thinking that we could get a lower seed,” forward Robert Johnson said after the show. But then the Ducks were an nounced as the No. 2 seed in the Midwest region, and the crowd exploded along with the team. As CBS went to a live feed of McArthur Court, the nation saw Freddie Jones with a huge, goofy grin and the fans behind him jumping with happiness. “We’re just excited,” guard Luke Ridnour said. Many of the fans stayed after the Oregon announcement to watch the rest of the selection show and Kent’s live show after the CBS broadcast. Kent was also interviewed later by ESPN for its selection Sunday show. Now the Ducks are looking for ward to their next performance, against Montana on Thursday. The players expressed hope that Oregon fans would travel to Sacramento for Thursday’s open ing round contest or a possible second-round game on Saturday. “This could be the last time they get to see this team this sea son,” Ridnour said. “It would be nice to see some fans down there.” Fans will be able to purchase tickets through the Arco Arena ticket office today.

Women’s continued from page 7 - In addition to the Beavers, USC and Washington will play in the WNIT, and if the cards are right, the Ducks and Huskies may meet for a fourth time this season in the third round. Oregon is 2-1 against Washington this year. “I think that probably all of the Pac 10 teams would have liked to have been in a different bracket, trying to play different teams for your own ben efit,” Smith said. “It looks like we’ll have to get by our Pac-10 opponents again. If we play those teams again, cer tainly we’ll get to know them a little bit better for next year. ” After a grueling season with a new coach and a new system, a berth in the WNIT can seem like a disappoint ment. But that’s not the case for the Ducks. Because the team is young, marked by four active freshmen, gain ing postseason experience is a valu able opportunity. The fact that the first game, and possibly more, will be at Mac Court makes the first-round game against St. Mary ’s that much more special. “Some people may look at it as a disappointment, but I feel like we have a young team who is trying to put together a rhythm for next year and what better way to do that than in a tournament like the WNIT,” jun ior Shaquala Williams said.
