Softball
continued from page 9
“Portland State always plays
Oregon tough,” Arendsen said. “I
expect a battle.”
Arendsen commented on Viking
coach Teri Mariani, saying she’s a
staple in collegiate softball.
“She’s been their coach since I was
playing in college,” Arendsen said.
Mariani is in her 27th year as
head coach at Portland State.
One of Oregon’s keys to success
this season is its pitching. Fresh
man Amy Harris, sophomore
Lindsey Kontra, junior Anissa
Meashintubby and senior Andrea
Vidlund are each contributing a
characteristic of their pitching to
the team’s success.
Harris, in her first season, is al
ready only 43 strikeouts away
from breaking into Oregon’s all
time top 10 for strikeouts. The
Eugene native has 70 this season,
leading the Ducks and putting
her at sixth all-time for single-sea
son strikeouts.
Kontra had a 6-0 record at the
end of the preseason tourna
ments. She was named to the all
tournament team in Oregon’s sec
ond-place finish at the National
Invitational Softball Tournament
on Sunday.
Meashintubby is the shutout
leader in the Ducks’ arsenal. She
is currently tied for seventh all
time at Oregon. The junior also
needs only five wins to break into
the top 10 career victories list.
Vidlund is the experienced sen
ior of the pitching squad. She is
eighth all-time at Oregon with 262
career innings pitched. She is also
tied for eighth all-time with six ca
reer shutouts and is tied for 10th
all-time with 22 complete games.
Each of Oregon’s four pitchers
brings a different strength and a
different level of collegiate experi
ence to the squad, combining to
help the others become better as
well as helping the team win.
After the Portland State double
header, the Ducks open Pacific-10
Conference play Saturday in Cor
vallis. Oregon will face No. 17
Oregon State at 2 p.m.
Oregon State is 19-9 this season
and ranked No. 17 in both nation
al polls. Oregon is the only Pac-10
team ranked below the Beavers ir^^
either poll.
Once the Ducks begin the game
in Corvallis, they will step into the
heart of the Pac-10 season. All
eight Pac-10 teams are ranked in
the top 25, including No. 1 UCLA
and No. 2 Arizona. No. 7 Califor
nia is the defending national
champion, and No. 5 Washington
rounds out the Pac-10 teams ap
pearing in the top 10.
Oregon’s next home game is
April 11 against Washington.
