we’ve been in Pac-10 play.”
Nevada sports a roster with no seniors. All seven juniors
are junior college transfers recruited by head coach Michelle
Gardner in her first recruiting year. The squad’s four sopho
mores were already students at Nevada when the an
nouncement was made that a softball program would be
added for the 2003 season. The four were the only students
to survive Gardner’s open tryouts and make the squad.
“I know their head coach well,” Arendsen said. “She
was an assistant at Arizona State and Florida State.”
Gardner was at Arizona State until December 2001,
when she was announced as Nevada’s new head coach
and began building her program.
The Ducks (24-14 overall, 4-8 Pac-10) host the Wolf
pack in the midst of the Pac-10 season.
Friday and Saturday featured home games against Ore
gon State. Friday’s 2-1 win was the first home victory against
the beavers since 1999. The victory also secured the 2002
2003 Civil War Gup for Oregon for all the varsity sports.
On Saturday, the Ducks let Oregon State take an early
lead — a home run on the game’s first pitch — and
weren’t able to come back, losing to the Beavers for the
first time this season, 7-3.
“We need to get it rolling again after not playing so well
on the weekend,” Arendsen said. “(These are) huge
games — any time you’re playing at home.”
Oregon also swept Portland State in a non-conference
doubleheader Wednesday. The Ducks shut out the
Vikings in both games, 4-0 and 5-0.
The Ducks recently announced their first summer
camp in several years.
“The information is on the Web site,” Arendsen said.
“The idea is that we can help promote and develop soft
ball not only in the Eugene area, but in Oregon and
Washington.”
The camp is open to girls ages 10-18. The three camps —
an all-skills camp, a pitching and catching camp and a hit
ting camp—will be run by Arendsen and assistant coaches
J. Gaudreau and Mike White during July.
“We want to develop baby ducks, hopefully,” Arend
sen said.
Oregon faces off against Pac-10 competition again this
weekend, as the Ducks host No. 1 Arizona on Friday and
No. 12 Arizona State on Saturday and Sunday.
