team against the other. We hope that
they'll soon name her to the Canadi
an National team."
The game against Team Canada
also marks the second consecutive
game against an Olympic team for the
Ducks. Oregon lost a 7-0 decision to
undefeated Team USA Saturday.
"It's always good to play players at
that level," Oregon infielder Beth
Boskovich said. "We want to try to
kick some butt at the same time, but
if things don't go our way, we know
that it's a different level."
Boskovich and catcher Jenn Poore
lead the Ducks with four home runs
each. Poore also leads Oregon with a
0.420 batting average.
The Ducks had a school-record
14-game winning streak snapped
Saturday when they dropped a 2-1
game to Coastal Carolina. Oregon
was 4-0 in the Speedline Tourna
ment going into the game.
"(The weekend) started off really
well," Poore said. "Towards the end ol
the tournament, we got a little tired.
We just didn't really pick ourselves up.
We really should have won that game
(against Coastal Carolina). It was a
game we needed to win."
"I think any time you get
to play an Olympic team,
it is such a great honor.
It s a lifetime experience.
We're still going to do
our veiy best, you just
never know."
Kathy Arendsen
Oregon head coach
The Ducks had a scare during the
weekend with senior pitcher Anissa
Meashintubby. She suffered a shoul
der injury and had to wait until the
team returned to Eugene to have her
shoulder evaluated.
"Anissa is probably the most im
proved player I've ever coached,"
Arendsen said. "Anytime she's not at
her best is really a letdown and disap
pointment for us."
Meashintubby is 6-1 this season
and leads Oregon with a 1.46 ERA.
The senior's 45 strikeouts have
jumped her to No. 5 on Oregon's ca
reer leaders list with 273.
Arendsen said Tuesday that Meash
intubby would miss today's game, but
will likely be ready to throw at least a
few innings in the UNLVToumament
that begins Friday.
With Nyhus and Meashintubby
unavailable for today's game, the
Ducks will rely on pitchers Amy
Harris and Lindsey Kontra. Kontra
pitched a complete game against
Team USA on Saturday.
"I think any time you get to play an
Olympic team, it is such a great hon
or," Arendsen said. "It's a lifetime ex
perience. We're still going to do our
very best, you just never know."
The Ducks next travel to Las Vegas
to play four games in the UNLVTour
nament Friday and Saturday.
