needed to do for my team."
Oregon recovered from an offen
sive slump to score one run on six
hits. The Ducks had baserunners in
every inning but one.
"Anytime you can score one more
run than the opponent, it's a good
thing," Oregon head coach Kathy
Arendsen said by phone after the vic
tory. "It was awesome to have Kayleen
back. She really stepped up. Ann
Marie Topps had a couple hits too.
Our freshmen really stepped up."
Another newcomer, although not
a freshman, also performed well. Ju
nior transfer Ani Nyhus, who has
played postseason games in Florida
the past two years as part of the jun
ior college championships, threw a
six-hit shutout.
Nyhus struck out seven Wildcats to
break teammate Amy I larris' single
season strikeout record. Harris struck
out 180 batters last season. Nyhus' to
tal is up to 184, including Thursday.
"I had to struggle through a couple
innings, but our defense was flawless
today," Nyhus said by phone Thurs
day. "It was an all right outing."
Nyhus, who was named to the All
Pac-10 First Team on Wednesday, is
22-12 this season. The win was her
10th shutout of the season.
"As long as we had the lead, I knew
we were going to win," Arendsen said.
The Wildcats left seven runners on
base, but never got a runner past sec
ond. They scattered their six hits
throughout the game.
"Oregon is a great team," Bethune
Cookman head coach Laura Watten
said in the postgame conference. "I
really wasn't worried about what Ore
gon did; I really wanted us to try to
take care of business."
Three of the Ducks' six hits were of
the extra-base variety — Hudson's
triple and a double each by Topps and
third baseman Ashley Richards. Ore
gon left five runners stranded, inclucV
ing three on third base.
The Ducks also scattered three sin
gles, Topps' RBI hit, a single by catcher
Jenn Poore and a single by Hudson.
"We only scored one run,” Nyhus
said. "We were a little frustrated with
that, but we're hitting the ball well."
South Florida, Oregon's oppo
nent today, is in the winner's bracket
after a 2-0 win against No. 6-seeded
Ohio State.

RACQUET

Aside from organizing transporta
tion, sponsorships and figuring out
team expenses, Karlson-Martini, a
German major, has had to deal with
some internal conflicts within the
team as well.
"I have had to deal with some
problems from a few teammates,"
Karlson-Martini said. "If someone
takes things the wrong way or if they
don't like how I've done things, they
will let me know. I have had to learn
how to be tactful and how to re
spond to these things."
Senior team member Dan
Goettsch said Karlson-Martini "took
on a little too much" and in turn
found that practice time needed to
be more productive.
"Sometimes our time was not
used efficiently," Goettsch said. "We
wasted time going over things we al
ready went over."
When Karlson-Martini needed
guidance and advice on how to deal
with these types of situations, she
turned to her boyfriend and racquet
ball teammate Andrew Milkes.
Milkes and Karlson-Martini have
been dating for three years. He has
seen the emotional highs and lows
that come with being a leader, and
said Karlson-Martini has juggled her
responsibilities remarkably well.
"I've seen her deal with the Club's
problems as well as their successes
and I think she is personally respon
sible for growing the sport of rac
quetball within the state of Oregon,"
he said.
"I have really enjoyed
having all the
responsibilities put on
me and being able to do
things for the Club. I
really like helping people
and getting things done. "
Alexis Karlson-Martini
Club racquetball coordinator
Karlson-Martini will be passing
the reins of racquetball coordinator
to someone else next year, and she
will try to give the future coordina
tor as much information as possible
about what she has learned. Karl
son-Martini said she feels the hard
part is over, and that keeping the
Club afloat should be the easy part

replacement. In the spring of 2003,
when Montgomery briefly spoke to
UCLA after the Bruins fired Steve
Lavin, Leland commissioned a re
port to rank the best options should
the coach leave.
It is widely believed that Nevada's
Trent Johnson, whose Wolf Pack
knocked off Gonzaga en route to the
Sweet 16 this past season and is a for
mer Montgomery assistant, is the top
choice for the newly opened position.
Johnson pulled himself out of com
petition for the vacant Utah position
in recent months.
Names also being, mentioned in
media reports include Gonzaga's
Mark Few and Rice coach Willis Wil

as long as there is continued interest
in the sport and the team has com
mitted members.
For now, Karlson-Martini can only
hope that the Club "is still existing" in
a few years. Taking pride in what she
has done for the sport and for the
Club is what Karlson-Martini would
like to take away from this experience.
"I have really enjoyed having all
the responsibilities put on me and
being able to do things for the
Club," Karlson-Martini said. "1 really
like helping people and getting
things done."
Karlson-Martini is thankful the Club
had the chance to attend both local
and National tournaments as a team.
The team even placed 12th at the 32nd
National USA Racquetball Intercolle
giate Championships in Fountain Val
ley, Calif., held March 24-28.
With half of the Club's members
being freshmen, Vaughn said that
Karlson-Martini has laid out solid
guidelines for next year's team and
the future coordinator to follow.
"She is incredibly enthusiastic, or
ganized and she knew how to pull
together community resources and
how to supplement what the Univer
sity could provide."

an assistant coach under Mont

served at until 1997 when he took over
the Duck program in 1998.
