INDIANAPOLIS — Oregon
State coach Scott Rueck wouldn’t
let the Beavers’ loss in the wom-
en’s Final Four dampen the spe-
cial season that his team had.
His senior-led group helped
bring the school’s basketball
program from one of the worst
in the country to one of the best.
“This group sitting next to
me and in the locker room right
now, you know, the greatest sea-
son in the history of our school,
in our sport ended tonight,”
Rueck said after the 80-51 loss
to UConn on Sunday night.
“And there’s one reason that
I’m sad, and that it’s the last
game that this team gets to play
together.
“This group is an absolute
dream. I wish I could describe
to people what it’s like to be
their coach, where you walk
in the gym every day and you
just can’t wait to see them, has
nothing to do with basketball.
They’re committed to each
other. They’re a true family.”
Oregon State (32-5) was
playing in its ¿rst national semi-
¿nals and the Beavers expect
this to be the beginning, not the
end.
“It’s really exciting, the
future,” said senior Ruth Ham-
blin, who had 10 points, 11
KNAPPA — The Knappa
softball team completed a
three-game series sweep over
Neah-Kah-Nie last week, with
a 23-13, 10-8 marathon dou-
bleheader victory over the
Pirates Friday at Knappa.
Combined, the Lady Log-
gers outscored Neah-Kah-Nie
50-22 in three games.
In Friday’s sweep, soph-
omore Kaitlyn Truax was
2-for-3 at the plate, with a dou-
ble and four runs batted in.
Freshman Laicee Hendrickson
was also 2-for-3, and sopho-
more pitcher Paris Vanderburg
allowed eight hits with three
strikeouts.
Vanderburg gave up ¿ve
hits with ¿ve strikeouts in
Game 2, while Alisha Murphy
was 2-for-4 with two RBIs,
and Truax added a key three-
run double.
Winners of 15 straight
league games going back to last
year, the Loggers have three
games this week with Gaston.

rebounds and six blocks.
“We’ve kind of set the bar high
for this program and everyone’s
expectations are going to con-
tinue to be high, and we know
how to handle that now.
“And I think we’ve got a lot
of young talent coming in. And
our recruiting class is good. I’m
really excited to see what the
team does in the future and how
they respond next year.”
The Beavers won their ¿rst
conference tournament title, and
accomplished the goal of the
senior class — getting to a Final
Four.
Sydney Wiese scored 13
points to lead Oregon State,
which gambled by leaving
Morgan Tuck open and focus-
ing on stopping Stewart. Tuck
responded with 21 points,
including 16 in the ¿rst half.
“I thought we could have
done a little better job of show-
ing a little bit more at Tuck than
we did certainly, but you also
hope maybe she misses one,”
Rueck said.
Bulldogs, Warriors split high-scoring twinbill
By GARY HENLEY
The Daily Astorian
SHERIDAN — Warren-
ton and Willamina combined
for 59 runs in two games Sat-
urday, in a lengthy, nonleague
baseball doubleheader played
at Sheridan High School.
Willamina won the opener,
14-13, before the Warriors
rebounded with a 19-13 vic-
tory in Game 2.
No de¿cit was too big for
Warrenton, which scored ¿ve
runs in the top of the seventh
of Game 1, only to lose in the
bottom of the seventh; and the
Warriors overcame a 13- de¿-
cit in Game 2, scoring nine
runs in the fourth inning.
“The defense and pitch-
ing was a little frustrating at
times, but I couldn’t have been
happier with our offense,”
said Warrenton coach Lennie
Wolfe. “We had a number of
players with three hits on the
day (Derek Ham led with four)
and we stole 14 bases. We just
committed too many errors and
shot ourselves in the foot.”
Only ¿ve of Willamina’s 14
runs in Game 1 were earned.
The Bulldogs led 13-8 going
into the top of the seventh,
when the Warriors scored ¿ve
to tie.
Tanner Onstot was 5-for-5
for Willamina, which had 14
hits and committed six errors
in Game 1.
The Bulldogs scored 13
runs in their ¿rst three at-bats
of Game 2, but lost it all when
the Warriors scored nine runs
in the fourth.
Dalton Knight and Ham
both had doubles for Warren-
ton, while Knight started on
the mound and pitched six
innings, giving up no runs after
the third, with 10 strikeouts and
two walks.
On the day, Warrenton’s
Justice Watson was of¿cially
3-for-3, and was hit by pitch
¿ve times — giving the senior
11 HBPs in six games.
Softball
Bulldogs sweep Warriors
SHERIDAN — Willamina
racked up 31 runs in a double-
header softball sweep over War-
renton Saturday, 15-8 and 16-3.
The Bulldogs jumped on
the scoreboard early and often
in each game, which included
a 10-2 lead after three innings
of Game 1.
Warrenton scored four runs
in the fourth inning, but Wil-
lamina pulled away with two
runs each in the ¿fth and sixth.
Warrenton’s Jo Armstrong
had a double and drove in three
runs, while Rachel Dyer had a
double and two RBIs.
Willamina’s Heather Grav-
ley was the winning pitcher,
allowing seven hits with three
strikeouts and three walks.
In Game 2, Willamina’s
Madison Leno was 4-for-4
with a double, triple and four
runs batted in. Landree Miethe,
Claire Bussert and Brittany
Rasmussen all had doubles for
Warrenton, which trailed 9-1
after three innings.
Gravley picked up another
win, allowing six hits. Willa-
mina had 16 hits in the second
game, and took advantage of
four Warrior errors.

Loggers sweep Pirates
KNAPPA — After a close
contest with Neah-Kah-Nie
earlier in the week, the scores
were more reÀective of the
two games Friday at Knappa,
where the Loggers and Pirates
hooked up for a Northwest
League doubleheader.

INDIANAPOLIS — Wash-
ington coach Mike Neighbors
learned a hard lesson Sunday
night. The Huskies must ¿nd
a way better way to handle the
pressure next season.
Syracuse converted 18
Washington turnovers into
20 points and used its strong

Tuesday’s meeting — cruised
past the Pirates in a Friday
doubleheader, 12-0 and 12-2.
Dale Takalo started both
games on the mound for the
Loggers, as the sophomore ¿n-
ished Game 1 in just 39 pitches.
He struck out ¿ve with no walks.
The Neah-Kah-Nie pitch-
ers walked 12 and hit three
batters, while the Pirates com-
mitted eight errors on the day.
Takalo and Mason Hoover
had two hits apiece, and Logan
Bartlett drove in two runs in
the opener, in which Knappa
led 12-0 after three innings.
Takalo struck out four and
walked none in two innings
pitched of Game 2 (he has yet
to walk a batter this season).
Michal Goodman ¿nished and
picked up the win.
Jason Miller was 3-for-4
with three RBIs, and Good-
man legged out a triple in
Game 2.
“Our best clutch hitter last
week was Noah Kinney,” said
Knappa coach Jeff Miller. “He
had three RBIs, and he had a
very productive week.
“Our approach at the plate
still needs to get better, but I’ve
been real pleased with the pitch-
ing, and as a team we’re run-
ning the bases real well. Reu-
ben Cruz has at least two steals
every game. We’re just leaving
a lot of runners on base.”
The No. 3-ranked Loggers
are also 5-0, and will take a
49-game win streak in league
play into a three-game series
with Gaston this week.
mantle the Huskies’ defense
in an 80-59 blowout in the
national semi¿nals, leaving
them one win short of playing
for a national title.
“This is obviously going to
be the book on us, and people
will watch this ¿lm and try to
maybe emulate this to beat us.
So we’ll use that to improve in
the offseason when we get back
to work,” Neighbors said. “We
won’t be unprepared again.”
