The Oregon Club Sports women’s lacrosse team capped off a four-game road trip Sunday with a 12-0 win over Pacific Lutheran in Tacoma.
Tina Thompson, Kate Regalbuto and Emily Bowersox each scored three goals against PLU, while Louisa Drosch and Nicole Nishmura split time in the net to preserve the shutout for the Ducks.
Oregon won its first game Sunday 6-2 against Blackfin. Thompson, Regalbuto and Nishmura led the way for the Ducks, scoring two goals apiece.
The Ducks’ defensive stance was led by Marissa White, Kate Cody and Tara McGann.
“The weekend really showed how well the team has come together,” said Dorsch, the team coordinator. “Our defense has been doing an amazing job.”
On Saturday in Bellingham, Wash., the Ducks fell to Western Washington, 6-3, and Washington, 6-2. Thompson was Oregon’s top scorer for the day, combining for two goals in the two games.
Dorsch combined for 16 saves in the two losses.
“We are looking forward to a rematch with UW in the next few weeks, so that they can see what we can really do on the field,” Dorsch said.
UO baseball
roughed up by Central
After a two-week break from practices, the Oregon Club Sports baseball team dropped three games to Central Oregon Community College over the weekend at Civic Stadium.
“We were clearly the better team, but we don’t actually get on a baseball field very often,” team coordinator Micah Bodner said of the team’s lack of practice facilities. “We haven’t practiced in two weeks, so I wasn’t too surprised we looked rusty.”
Central starting pitcher Carson O’Neil pitched six solid innings — allowing just one hit to Oregon’s Matt Mensik — as the Bobcats jumped out to a big lead heading into the seventh. But the Ducks (2-6 overall) got to O’Neil in the bottom of the seventh for six runs.
O’Neil beaned two batters and walked another to load the bases. Mensik then drove in two runs with a double and catcher Gabe Taylor drove in another with an RBI single. The Ducks, however, eventually lost 16-6.
Behind two strong pitching performances from Mensik and Kurt Langworthy, Oregon was able to keep with the Bobcats in a doubleheader Saturday, but fell 7-5 in the first game and 7-6 in the second. Oregon was plagued by several costly errors on Saturday, Bodner said.
The Ducks will play Southern Oregon this weekend.
