Duck softball drops three
to Arizona schools at home
■ Struggling Ducks fall to No. 6
Arizona State 9-1 on Friday and
to No. 1 Arizona 2-0 on Saturday
and 8-1 on Sunday
By Chris Cabot
Oregon Daily Emerald
Chalk up another rough weekend
for the Oregon softball team at
Howe Field.
The Ducks (18-18 overall, 0-9 Pa
cific-10 Conference) dropped three
games to extend their losing streak
to nine — falling to No. 6 Arizona
State on Friday and No. 1 Arizona
on Saturday and
Sunday.
The weekend
began for Oregon
with a 9-1 drub
bing at the hands
of the Sun Devils
(35-10, 5-3) in a
game that lasted
only six innings because of the eight
run rule. Arizona State scored three
runs in each of the first two innings
and then tallied one in the fourth and
two more in the sixth. The Ducks’
lone run came in the fifth.
Arizona State’s winning pitcher
Erica Beach contributed offensively
by smacking a two-run homer in the
sixth, while Anissa Meashintubby
picked up the loss for Oregon.
The Oregon pitching staff fared
much better against Arizona (38-5,
7-1) in the following two games.
Freshman southpaw Lindsey Kon
tra threw for the Ducks on Saturday,
allowing two runs on five hits and
four walks while striking out six.
SOFTBALL
Through-the fourth inning, she had
only allowed one hit.
“Lindsey did a great job pitching
and really kept them off balance all
day," Oregon head coach Brent Rin
con said.
Kontra’s pitching performance
was bettered by Arizona’s Jennie
Finch, a 6-foot senior who im
proved her record to 22-1 with her
14th shutout of the season.
The Wildcats’ runs came from two
RBIs from Loveianne Jung, who
knocked a solo home run in the fifth
and a single in the seventh that
scored Carrie Hagen.
“I really don’t think the score
today was indicative of how
close the game was. We
battled them hard.”
Brent Rincon
Oregon head coach
Through both weekend games
against Arizona, Kontra and Connie
McMurren — who threw six-and-a
third innings Sunday — held Ari
zona’s top hitting star Leneah
Manuma hitless. But the Wildcats
found other ways to score.
“Arizona is a phenomenal ball
club, and they are going to get their
hits,” Rincon said. “They are the
No. 1 team in the country and they
just have too many weapons.”
McMurren held Arizona hitless
through most of three and scoreless
through four before the Wildcats of
fense began to click. They tallied
one run in the fifth, two in the sixth
and five in the seventh to break the
game open.
“I really don’t think the score to
day was indicative of how close the
game was,” Rincon said. “We bat
tled them hard.”
In the Oregon half of the sixth with
the score 3-0, the Ducks gave Arizona
a scare. Amber Hutchison led off the
inning by reaching on an error by
second baseman Lisha Ribellia.
Alyssa Laux followed by drawing a
walk, and Lynsey Haij advanced the
two runners with a well-placed sac
rifice bunt. Andrea Vidlund, who
leads the Ducks with a .363 average
and seven home runs, sent a long
drive to right that was tracked down
by Arizona’s Meaghan Finnerty just
short of the wall. Both runners ad
vanced, but Hutchison’s run was all
the Ducks could muster.
Despite remaining winless in the
Pac-10, the Ducks are still holding
their heads high.
“We’re not panicking yet,” Rin
con said. “We just need to continue
to get better, and this weekend we
did some things to get better, espe
cially in the Arizona series. The
pitchers did a good job over the last
two days — I think they are up to the
challenge. Overall I’m not dis
pleased with how we battled.
“Obviously I’m not happy with
the outcome, but if they keep their
intensity up and keep battling the
way we have, we’ve still got a
chance to be a pretty good team.”

UO golfers ‘peaking’ at right time
The Oregon men’s golf team shot
its second straight 8-under 280 Sat
urday to finish fourth at the ASU
Thunderbird Invitational, played at
the 7,027-yard, par-72 Karsten Golf
Course in Tempe, Ariz. The Ducks,
unranked in this week’s
Golfweek/Sagarin top 25, finished
higher than seven ranked opponents.
“We had a great tournament,”
Oregon head coach Steve Nosier
said. “This tournament is a who’s
who of golf, and we competed ex
tremely well.”
Chris Carnahan finished third af
ter a 1-over 73 Saturday. The junior
from Albany was 11-under for the
tournament at 205, which included
a career-low round of 64 on Friday.
It was Carnahan’s highest finish
since taking second in the season
opener — the Northwest Collegiate
Classic last September.
Senior Aaron Byers, another Al
bany native, had a final round 68
and finished tied for 19th at 5-under
211. Junior John
Ellis shot a 69 Sat
urday and tied for
31st at 2-under
214. Senior Chris
Heniff, competing
as an individual,
tied his best
round as a colle
gian with an even-par 72 Saturday.
“There were birdies available out
there, and we took advantage of
those opportunities,” Nosier said.
“The guys just hung in there and
played hard all the way.”
No. 7 Texas won the event with a
32-under 832 total, while host Ari
zona State was second at 26-under
838. No. 24 Pepperdine was third at
25-under 839, while the Ducks shot
a 21-under 843.
Oregon finished higher than sev
eral nationally ranked teams, in
cluding No. 6 Oklahoma State
(848), No. 8 Texas Christian (845),
No. 9 USC (854), No. 11 Washing
ton (869), No. 17 Oklahoma (856),
No. 22 New Mexico (853) and No.
25 Arizona (845).
“It was a real high national-cal
iber tournament,” Nosier said.
“Eleven of our last 12 rounds have
been very good. I think were peak
ing at the right time.”
Oregon returns to action next
weekend in the U.S. Intercollegiate
at Stanford, before gearing up for
the Pac-10 Tournament April 25-27
at Trysting Tree in Corvallis.
