IN BRIEF
Arendsen to be inducted
into ISF Hall of Fame
Oregon head softball coach
Kathy Arendsen will be inducted
into the International Softball Fed
eration Hall of Fame tonight in Mo
bile, Ala. Arendsen, already an
American Softball Association of
America Hall of Famer, will be the
only American in the record class of
19 to be inducted. She becomes just
one of three women to ever be in
ducted into the ISF Hall of Fame.
“Not only is it a tremendous hon
or, it’s probably the greatest individ
ual honor I’ve ever been given,”
Arendsen said. “Because of the
tremendous success American
women have had in softball, it’s al
most overwhelming. ”
Between 1978-1993, Arendsen
played for the Raybestos Brakettes
and won nine ASA National Cham
pionships, three ISF World Champi
onships and five U.S. Olympic Festi
vals. The Zeeland, Mich., native
also competed on two USA Pan
American teams.
She is the third-winningest pitcher
in Brakettes’ history, recording 334
wins and 25 losses. Arendsen threw
79 no-hitters, 42 perfect games and
265 shutouts. In 2,362 innings of
work, she struck out 4,308 batters
and had a career ERA of 0.15. Last
year, she was inducted into the
Michigan Sports Hall of Fame.
Arendsen took over the Ducks
three seasons ago and has taken the
Ducks to two straight Regional fi
nals. She has accumulated a 78-21
overall record while at Oregon, in
cluding last season’s victory over
then-No. 1 Arizona.

Sprinter banned for life
after positive drug test
Sprinter Jerome Young, a central
figure in a doping case that could
cost the U.S. relay team its gold
medal from Sydney, was banned for
life by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency
on Wednesday following his second
positive test for a banned drug.
Young tested positive for EPO at
a Paris meet in July, USADA said.
He is believed to be the first sprinter
to test positive for EPO, which is
popular with endurance runners
and cyclists.
Tests for EPO were introduced at
the 2000 Sydney Games. Sprinter
Kelli White admitted she used EPO
and other performance-enhancing
drugs earlier this year when she ac
cepted a two-year ban for doping.
Young, 28, tested positive for
the steroid nandrolone in 1999,
but was exonerated by a U.S. ap
peals panel in July 2000, avoiding
a two-year ban.

Pit Crew: Environment created
by crew members' vocal chords

“I think it’s all tasteful fun in my
opinion,” Weckert said. “We love
Nate Robinson and 1 hope that he
understands and reciprocates the
love for us.”
Weckert said he now hopes fans
can get more vocal and louder
than last season.
“You don’t have to worry what
other people think of you,” he said.
“Just scream at the top of your
lungs and you’re going to be accept
ed. The environment is amazing,
but it has to be created by us.”

career, which is second on the
league’s active-career list behind
USC’s Emily Adams.
“They are actually a more bal
anced team than Stanford,” Ferreira
said. “Their five attackers have the
ability to get kills and they are just a
very tactical team.”
The Ducks will need to record a
higher kill percentage and a lower er
ror count than their opponents, ac
cording to Ferreira.
“We need to get into a sideout
rhythm,” he said. “That’s how you
keep the score close and force the op
ponent into unforced errors.”
Seniors' seasons near
their final moments
The 1,000 career-digs mark is in
O’Neil’s reach, but achieving that
goal is not embedded in her game
plan. She has posted 924 digs in her
four years with the Ducks.
“I don’t approach games thinking
about (statistics),” O’Neil said. “Re
ally, I just play to my best ability each
night. If that ends up panning out, I
would be so happy because that’s a
big goal, but I don’t focus on it. This
year, I have just relaxed with my de
fensive style, and it’s ended up bene
fiting me.”
O’Neil is aware this will be the last
home game of her and Lauren West
endorf’s careers.
“It’s highly emotional for me,”
O’Neil said. “The team has been
great. We have been really conscious
of this being our last home weekend.
It’s all really sad, but at the same time
it has amped us up this week. ”

Roetman: A loss this Saturday
means a must-win Civil War
Continued from page 13
numbers with a pass late in the
game, will the senior play the role of
hero and make the catch, or will he
remember last week’s well publicized
drop and let the ball slip harmlessly
through his fingers?
The Ducks seem confident of total
focus and a victory on Saturday.
“We’re fine,” defensive end Devan
Long said. “It was a tough break, but
you can’t let the same team beat you
two weeks in a row. We need to get
back out there this week, get a win
and erase the memory.”
Oregon fans better hope so, or the
Ducks may be facing three opponents
the following Saturday in Corvallis.
Dealing with the Cal defeat along
with another dissapointing loss to the
Bruins would all but bury the Ducks
against the Beavers.
Needing a win during a Civil War
game at Oregon State in order to be
come bowl eligible? If the Ducks are
focused, it shouldn’t come to that.
