Despite missing two seniors for

3-1 in the Houston Invitational and
improving to 12-5 on the season.
Head coach Kathy Arendsen an
nounced Friday that seniors
Alyssa Laux and Andrea Vidlund
would each miss two games during
the weekend tournament for a “vi
olation of team rules.” Vidlund did
not play Saturday, while Laux sat
out Sunday’s games.
The Ducks began Saturday,
playing Texas Tech and using only
two hits to win, 1-0.
In the third inning, freshman
Breanne Sabol hit a single, scoring
later in the inning to give Oregon
its 1-0 lead.
Junior Anissa Meashintubby and
freshman Amy Harris combined to
shut out Texas Tech.
After Texas Tech, the Ducks
faced tournament host Houston.
The Cougars took an early lead,
but Oregon scored four runs with
two outs in the third inning on its
way to a 6-3 win.
Harris earned her fourth save of
the season, holding the Cougars
scoreless for 1 1/3 innings. Oregon
added two runs in the seventh
inning.
In the Ducks’ first game on Sun
day, Oregon gave up another early
lead, but scored five runs in the
middle innings to beat Kentucky,
5-1.
Oregon loaded the bases in the
third inning with one out. All three
runners scored during the inning,
putting Oregon up 3-1.
Freshman Beth Boskovich in
creased Oregon’s lead with a two
run home run in the fourth inning.
Harris pitched her third com
plete game of the season, tying a
career high with eight strikeouts.
Oregon closed the tournament
with a game against Texas-San An
tonio. Oregon scored seven runs but
"I'm disappointed that
we aren't going home
undefeated. UTSA
just got hot at the
right time."

Oregon softball coach
the Roadrunners scored five runs in
the sixth to win 8-7.
“I’m disappointed that we aren’t
going home undefeated,” Arend
sen said. “UTSA just got hot at the
right time.”
The Ducks had 12 hits in the
game. Harris, the fourth pitcher of
the game for Oregon, took the loss
and is now 4-3 on the season.
The tournament was shortened
from six games to four games for the
Ducks because of rain.

Now, more than a hundred
games later, McArthur Court has

to be tough,” Shreve said. “I have
had some great success here and I
can’t complain about that.”

field, a statistic that is blurred by
shooting 25 percent from 3-point
land. Oregon was just 2-for-14 on 2
point attempts in the first half.
“When you shoot 19 percent, it
doesn’t help matters,” Smith said.
Defensively, both teams played
strong. The Ducks kept Washing
ton at a 42 percent shooting clip.
The Huskies, meanwhile, kept
Oregon from establishing its in
side presence, evidenced by just
12 overall points in the paint for
the Ducks.
“I thought we just came down
here and played great defense,”
Daugherty said. “That’s what
was key.”
The game remained close until
the last four minutes of the first half.
Washington, up 23-18 at the 3:48
mark, went on a 15-5 run to sepa
rate itself from Oregon.
Dalan and Payne combined to
score the last 20 points of the half
for Washington, which had pushed
its lead up, 38-20, with less than 10
seconds left.
Davis, however, made sure Ore
gon ended the half on a hot streak
by nailing a pull-up 3-pointer as
time expired.
