Oregon uses momentum in perfect weekend
i ne uucks won three games
before the tournament
was called because the fields
were unplayable in San Diego

The No. 21 Oregon women's soft
ball team didn't finish the Camp
bell/Cartier Classic this weekend.
DUCK
SOFTBALL
Four games
Saturday, and
all of Sunday's
action, were
canceled due
to heavy rains that turned the San
Diego fields into unplayable mud.
Despite the early ending, the
Ducks (8-4) finished the tourna
ment as one of three teams — join
ing Cal State Northridge and Long
Beach State — to go undefeated in
the games that were played Friday
and Saturday.
After winning the last two games
of its previous tournament, Ore
gon spent the week leading up to
the Campbell/Cartier Classic talk
ing about keeping the momentum
going.
The Ducks did just that with a 4-2
victory against Hawaii to open their
play Friday.
"We're starting to put together
back-to-back wins, and I'm very
pleased about that," Oregon head
coach Kathy Arendsen said. "The big
key is to come back against a good
Fresno State team and continue to
build momentum. We have to con
tinue to get better and improve with
each game."
Catcher Jenn Poore in the fifth in
ning hit her second home run of the
season. The senior went 2 for 4 in
the victory.
Fellow senior Anissa Meashintub
by picked up the win to improve to
2-1 this season.
Oregon faced No. 16 Fresno State
on Friday afternoon and did some
thing the Ducks had yet to do this sea
son: win two games in the same day.
The Ducks grabbed a 1-0 victory
against the Bulldogs.
Pitcher Ani Nyhus, a transfer jun
ior, pitched a complete game for the
win, giving up five hits and striking
out six.
"I felt really confident tonight be
cause my defense was really behind
me," Nyhus said. "They made huge
plays all game and our offense
(stepped up) in the seventh inning
and I just wanted to win the game for
us. I didn't want to let anyone get on
base or let them take the momentum
from us."
The win belonged to the team's
newcomers. Freshman Kayleen Hud
son drove classmate Ann Marie Topps
in the top of the seventh for the
game's only run.
"This is a huge win for us," Arend
sen said. "We were able to put togeth
er a tremendous pitching effort and
got some key hits when we needed
them. The biggest thing is winning
back-to-back games on the same day.
It's great to finally get over that hump.
I thought this was a very positive day
