Softball faces
top Pac-10 foes
The Ducks take their final
conference road trip of the
season to UCLA and
Washington for three games
Softball
Mindi Rice
Sports Reporter
Oregon takes its game on the road
today for the last time during the Pa
cific-10 Conference season.
The No. 19 Ducks face No. 2 UCLA
today at 2 p.m., then fly to Seattle for
games on Saturday and Sunday
against No. 4 Washington.
Oregon (28-15 overall, 6-9 Pac-10)
has a two-game winning streak com
ing into today’s game after sweeping
then-No. 12 Arizona State at Howe
Field, 5-2 and 3-0.
“Arizona State finished as semi-fi
nalists in the College World Series
last year,” head coach Kathy Arend
sen said on Sunday. “They lost a cou
ple players, but not enough to make a
huge difference so these are huge
wins for us. I love how our team really
picks each other up.”
The Ducks are currently on a roll,
winning 10 of their last 14 games,
dating back to an April 9 sweep of a
doubleheader against Portland State.
Three of those games, one win and
two losses, are from a homestand
against the Bruins and the Huskies.
Against Washington, the Ducks lost 9
0 in five innings. Oregon bounced back
the next day to take a 5-4 win against
UCLA before losing the weekend’s
third game 7-3 to the Bruins.
The 14 games include all of Ore
gon’s home games this season and a
doubleheader at Portland State.
“(The month at home) really gave
us a confidence boost,” senior Andrea
Vidlund said. “Now we have that same
confidence going back on the road.”
UCLA (40-5,12-3) and Washington
(40-10-1, 7-8) have their last home
weekend of the season for Oregon’s visit.
The Bruins traveled to Seattle on
Wednesday for the last game of the
season between the traveling part
ners. After losing both games at
UCLA earlier this season, the
Huskies were again overwhelmed by
the Bruins, 11-0. UCLA pitcher Keira
Goerl threw her 13th one-hitter of
the season while shortstop Natasha
Watley had an offensive surge with
four hits, including two home runs.
Bruin senior Tairia Mims, along
with Goerl and Watley, was named to
the top-10 list for the USA Softball
Collegiate Player of the Year on
Thursday. The three Bruins were
joined by two Arizona players as the
Pac-10 dominated the list.
In Oregon’s April 12 win against
UCLA, Vidlund had a two-run home
run in the fifth inning and picked up
the save for the Ducks.
Two innings earlier, Goerl had in
tentionally walked Vidlund to face
senior Alyssa Laux. Laux took the op
portunity to hit her second home run
of the season.
Vidlund leads the Ducks in home
runs this season with nine—two shy
of her career high two years ago. She
hit her ninth, a monster shot over the
right-field scoreboard, at Howe Field
on Sunday.
“You don‘t see right-handed hitters
go over that scoreboard,” Arendsen
said. “That opposite field power just
tells you what a gifted hitter she is. ”
The senior is also six home runs
away from breaking Oregon’s career
home run record.
The Ducks’ 28 home runs as a
team is one of the factors in their
probable postseason appearance.
Oregon hasn’t played in the NCAA
Regionals since 2000.
The 64 teams invited to the region
als — the winners of 26 Division I
Conferences as well as 38 at-large se
lections — will be divided between
eight regional locations. Teams from
the same conference cannot be as
signed to the same region. All 64
teams and their regional destinations
are announced on May 11.
Oregon returns home for the final
weekend of Pac-10 play to host Cali
fornia on May 9 and Stanford in a
May 10 doubleheader.
