e university senate postponed its vote on the academic continuity plan, which aims to set up a protocol that ensures faculty, not administrators, are the ones to award grades in the event of an emergency. (Dana Sparks)

UNIVERSITY SENATE UPDATE:

SENATE AWAITS OPINION ON WHETHER THE PRESIDENT CAN AWARD EMERGENCY GRADES BY HANNAH KANIK • TWITTER @HANNAH_KANIK e university senate postponed its vote on the academic continuity plan in order to assess UO President Michael Schill’s power to overrule the plan at its meeting last Wednesday. e plan aims to set up a protocol that ensures faculty are the ones to award grades in the event of an emergency — not administrators. Senate president Bill Harbaugh said that faculty should be the ones to grade students because they are the ones teaching and evaluating them. “Our academic creditors and general history require that faculty are in control of grading,” Harbaugh said. Last Tuesday, the day before the senate was scheduled to vote on the policy, Schill tasked the General Counsel’s Office with legally evaluating his ability to award emergency grades within

the proposed plan and informed the senate of his evaluation. “Schill said that he believed it was likely that under state law and the board of trustees policy that he would be able to override faculty under the academic policy,” Harbaugh said. Harbaugh made the decision to postpone the senate vote until the next meeting on April 24. e senate reached out to the university General Counsel Office to hear its opinion of the legislature. “My understanding from President Schill’s statement to the Senate is that he has asked the GCO for an opinion on what his powers to award emergency grades would be under this policy,” Harbaugh said. Depending on what the GCO says, the senate may choose to add an amendment to the legislation.

Harbaugh said he thinks the policy is strong but wants to hear the GCO’s opinion before proceeding. “It’s quite possible that there will be no need for an amendment. is is still going to be the best policy. But I don’t know what [the GCO’s] opinion is going to be,” Harbaugh said. e academic council of the senate, which created the academic continuity policy, will discuss the situation at its meeting next monday. Harbaugh said he wants to ensure the senate knows exactly what it is voting on before the policy is brought to a vote. e policy was criticized by the Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation for including graduate employee strikes as a potential emergency in the earlier drafts of the policy; however, that language was later removed from the draft.

OREGON HOUSING, ZONING BILL STIRS CONTROVERSY IN EUGENE COMMUNITY BY DONNY MORRISON It took Richie Weinman nearly six months to get the permits to build a side house on one of his properties for his son. Weinman, who now teaches at the University of Oregon after serving as the city of Eugene’s community services manager for 26 years, wanted to provide his son an affordable place to live — which according to Weinman, isn’t something all Eugene residents have. “We’ve had a housing shortage since the late ’80s, where we’ve had near-zero vacancy rates,” Weinman said. “Landlords have a significant advantage with low vacancy rates. e prices go up.” A recent bill that was introduced in January aims to make housing more affordable through so-called “middle housing” and has gained traction in Eugene. House Bill 2001 would require any city in Oregon with a population more than 25,000 to allow various multi-housing options, including duplexes, cottage clusters, townhouses and accessory dwelling units — like the one Weinman built for his son. According to Weinman, ADUs, which are considered stand-alone residential living spaces that sit independent of the main single-family house, are extremely difficult to start. Because of current zoning laws in Eugene, the process of building ADUs in R-1 zoned areas (space dedicated only for single family homes), could take months for issuing permits alone. PA G E 4

M O N D AY, A P R I L 1 5 2 0 1 9

According to the American Institute of Architects, R-1 zones comprise 91 percent of Lane County. “It was complicated to do it — actually very complicated,” Weinman said. “[ADUs] will create opportunities to build and create more housing.” e bill was unanimously approved by a house committee on Monday, April 8, after Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek agreed to a number of changes. e city of Eugene has adopted a position to oppose the bill, Eugene City Councilman Chris Pryor said. “I agree with what House Bill 2001 is trying to accomplish,” Pryor said. “But it proposes a one-sizefits-all option to a very complex zoning structure. It trashes years of planning work Eugene has already done to accommodate affordable housing options.” Pryor, who has been in office for 14 years, said the residents of many neighborhoods would prefer to expand the urban growth boundary, the area where growth is allowed in city lines. is expansion, or “sprawl,” hasn’t been legal since 1973, after the passing of Senate Bill 100. “We can’t expand to avoid density because of the state, and we can’t increase density because of opposition from neighborhoods,” Pryor said. “Neither side is willing to budge. So we have to look for legal authority to go one way or the other. In a way, that may be the biggest challenge: the confrontive and uncompromising nature of the discussion.” Pryor’s fears of neighborhood

disillusionment seem to have been echoed by a number of Register Guard opinion editorials written this past month. “HB 2001 would allow multiplexes to be built on any property that is currently zoned for single-family homes,” wrote Randall Kolb of Eugene, on March 21. “HB 2001 would bring about the ruin of Eugene’s university area neighborhoods.” Support for the bill comes in the form of a local nonprofit called 1000 Friends of Oregon, whose mission is to improve the quality of living for those in urban and rural communities. Staff Director Mary Kyle McCurdy thinks that increased urban density, as opposed to sprawl, would benefit neighborhoods now and in the future. “Exclusively single-family, detached housing zones are economically exclusive, and many are the remnants of racially discriminatory redlining and zoning practices from the first half of the 20th century,” McCurdy said. “ at is not who Oregonians believe they are today, so we should reflect that in our neighborhoods and not just our words.” e group 1000 Friends succeeded in appealing an urban growth expansion near Woodburn, Oregon, in 2014. McCurdy said that aside from advocating for policy change, there are a number of places students can get involved themselves to advocate for housing issues. “ ere are groups that help the homeless, groups that help build houses, groups that advocate for policy changes,” McCurdy said. “ ere’s Better Housing Together,

Habitat for Humanity, St. Vincent’s and more.” Kaarin Knudson, a UO professor in the architecture school and project lead for Better Housing Together, said that while everyone wants affordable housing, nobody agrees on how to get there. “As a community, we need to stop seeing these issues in opposition to one another,” Knudson said. “And in the case of ADUs, we need to not villainize them or paint them as something that is going to damage the community.” Knudson, who graduated from UO with an master’s degree of architecture in 2007, said that a large amount of the opposition stems from a small number of people who fear change of any kind in their neighborhoods. “It’s not fair to hold 65 or 85 percent of the community hostage because a few people don’t want for this community to be more equitable and more sustainable,” Knudson said. e bill is currently with the Joint Ways and Means Committee, potentially on its way to the floors of the House and Senate by this year. Weinman finished the side house for his son and is able to charge him an affordable rate. He maintains that the process of building an ADU was too expensive to consider making a profit off the rent. “Why do people build accessory dwelling units?” Weinman asked. “So their mother can live somewhere, so their child can live somewhere. ey’re not doing it to make a profit. ey’re doing it for a family member.”

ARTS & CULTURE UKI UKI’S MICHAEL ZITO MAKES SUSHI WITH TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES, BRAND-NEW FLAVORS BY JADE STEWART

Rain fell outside, but inside Uki Uki, soft pink lights illuminated a tropical paradise, complete with bamboo structures and plants covering the walls. e restaurant, which opened Jan. 1, is an eccentric mix between a fine-dining sushi restaurant and casual tiki bar. It serves $30 to $40 chef’s choice nigiri plates, a small selection of a la carte rolls, hot plates and cocktails. Uki Uki is chef Michael Zito’s first restaurant. e kitchen staff consists of only three people. Zito makes the nigiri. His apprentice Aidan James makes the sushi rolls. Cook Mark Brauer makes the hot food. He chose to open a tiki bar because they generally have welcoming atmospheres and diverse clientele. Zito said that most bars have a certain type of crowd; he wanted a space where people from all different walks of life would come to eat. Tiki bars generally serve food from all different Asian cuisines. is gives him free reign to serve whatever he wants at the restaurant. He values collaboration and dialogue in the kitchen, and often lets James and Brauer choose what dishes they make, even though they haven’t been cooking for as long as him. “ ere’s a lot creative freedom, which is really awesome,” said James. Zito said he likes to give his cooks ownership over their food, because he knows that it helps make the job rewarding and accelerates their growth as chefs. Even for a tiki bar, Zito admits, sushi is not normal fair. But Zito isn’t interested in normal. He doesn’t want to make the same food served at every other sushi restaurant in town. He attributes his unusual ideas to his unusual resume. Zito made sushi with Taro Kobayashi at the Eugene restaurant Mame, which closed last year. In the Bay Area, he worked as a sous chef at a French restaurant. He was also the executive chef at

a Spanish-Moroccan restaurant and a Japanese restaurant in San Francisco. All this experience shows in Uki Uki’s food. For example, Zito makes nigiri with fish marinated with roasted beets, blackberry and yuzu kosho, a fermented condiment made with yuzu rind, chili pepper and salt. is eclectic mix of flavors draws on different cuisines, and couldn’t be found at any other sushi restaurant. He also has been fermenting a hazelnut miso in the kitchen for the last few months. Zito said he wants miso soup at his restaurant but refuses to buy normal, boring miso from a store. With all these novel flavors, however, Zito said he follows traditional techniques to cut fish and shape rice. He said there is a right way to make sushi that he reveres and wouldn’t want to change. He consults a book of advice from Jiro Ono of “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” whenever he has a question. Uki Uki’s smaller size allows Zito to freely experiment with his food, but it also gives him tighter control over other important things, such as food waste. Many larger restaurants wind up wasting enormous amounts of food every night, which contributes to the U.S. losing around a third of its edible food every year. “ e idea of all of these people not having enough money to eat, and then you just throwing it in the garbage — it wears on you over the years,” he said. “Not having that, I feel good every single day.” Having only a few small fridges lets Zito keep track of all the food in the restaurant. He also uses the little pieces of fish he cuts off nigiri in some of his hot plates. And if he can’t sell some of his ingredients, he uses them in meals he cooks for the employees after their shifts. But he also often buys expensive ingredients for these meals, because he values his tight-knit team. “ is is my family,” he said. “I want to take care of them anyway I can and make them happy.”

CREATING THE NEXT GENERATION OF SCIENCE TEACHERS UO PROGRAM ENCOURAGES SCIENCE UNDERGRADS TO BECOME THE NEXT K-12 SCIENCE TEACHERS

BY BECKY HOAG It’s not a requirement for a science teacher to have a background in science, and many schools will hire unqualified teachers when teaching positions need to be filled. Yet, when schools hire teachers with no previous experience in the main subject they teach, it knocks the school down on overall competency. According to the Experiencing Science Practices through Research to Inspire Teaching Program contract University of Oregon undergraduate scholars sign, if 34 percent or more of teachers in a school don’t have a major in the subject they teach, the school is declared high needs. Other factors that could make a school high needs include if 50 percent or more of students are eligible for full or partially pay-reduced lunches, or if there’s a teacher turnover rate of 15 percent or more every three years. e National Science Foundation’s Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship funds collegiate programs to encourage more undergraduate science students to teach science or math at high-need middle schools and high schools. ESPRIT admitted three undergrad science students for its second year of the program: biology and Spanish major Elizabeth Bryan, physics major Jordyn Mons and biology major Everette Somers. “Have you ever heard the saying, ‘ ose who can, do; ose who can’t, teach’? is phrase is used to undermine and disparage the work of educators from all disciplines,” Somers said. “By having substantial, rigorous experience in my field, I believe this will help to dispel the myth of teachers being overall underqualified.” e ESPRIT Program, according to the umbrella Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Career through Outreach, Research and Education site, is open to any undergrad science majors interested in teaching. During the second half of their time as undergrads, ESPRIT scholars must complete education studies courses in the middle school and high school education program to learn more about different teaching techniques to engage students. e three women attended seminars geared to improve their science communications skills. e ESPRIT Program also requires scholars to engage in an ESPRIT-sponsored summer research experience. Mons worked in the Ursell Lab at UO modeling the movements of a bacteria community. She was even included in a research paper byline for her work. ESPRIT scholars can apply for a $10,000 scholarship under the requirement that they’ll move to the year-long UOTeach masters-level teacher licensure program upon graduation. Once they begin their studies at UOTeach, ESPRIT participants can apply for a $22,000 scholarship. ese scholarships are available with the assurance that participants will teach science or math for four years in a high-need school district within seven years after graduating from UOTeach. If they don’t complete these four years, the scholarship amounts become loans. is past February, the three undergrads and two

ESPRIT scholars currently earning their UOTeach masters, Erika Flockoi and Halli Roussell, attended a National Science Foundation conference for Noyce scholars in Tucson, Arizona. “It was such an enriching and eye-opening experience, and I learned a lot from the many faculty members, current teachers and fellow scholars who attended the conference, especially about culturally responsive science education,” Somers said. When Bryan stumbled upon the ESPRIT Program, she was surprised that she didn’t know about it earlier and that more students hadn’t applied. Mons, who had heard about the program through a class announcement, said students might be intimidated to apply because the program requires science undergrads to commit to a career plan their sophomore or junior year. “Many don’t know what they want to do after they finish their four-year degree, so there’s a little bit of pressure to know that you want to be a teacher for sure,” Mons said. e women are excited to start UOTeach in the fall and inspire kids to explore science. Somers thinks it’s important for teachers to have a background in the subject they teach because it gives students an up-close experience with someone who has worked in the field themself. is is especially important when the average U.S. scientist doesn’t look like the average U.S. teenager. “I want my students to see me as both a teacher and a scientist,” Somers said. “Especially in a world where women and minorities are grossly underrepresented in most scientific fields, I think it is important for students to interact with scientists who they can identify with.” According to a 2016 report by the U.S. Census, 43 of the 129 Oregon school districts are ranked as high needs. Because Bryan, Mons and Somers will earn Oregon teaching degrees and all three of them are Oregon natives, they plan to work in Oregon highneeds school districts. According to the STEM CORE site, the ESPRIT emphasizes encouraging a passion of science in the classroom. e women all say they plan to work in and out of the classroom to get students to explore and experiment. Mons wants to help mentor student clubs if the option becomes available. She’s particularly interested in starting an astronomy club if there isn’t one where she goes to teach. On the side, Mons would also like to make sure they had a good music program, being a music lover and a former member of the Oregon Marching Band herself. “I think the arts and sciences are really important in schools,” Mons said. Somers plans to instill environmental stewardship in her students. Bryan wants to engage students’ critical thinking skills. e women want to include field trips and community engagement opportunities. “You — as a teacher — are a resource. ut there are a lot of other resources in the community that you have got to figure out how to bring into your classroom, like outside science camps and local universities,” Mons said. Bryan, Mons and Somers also recognize there will be some more challenging aspects to their future

jobs. Mons admitted it might be extra challenging to produce hands-on learning opportunities if there’s a lack of budget or lab equipment at the school. Like many teachers, all of the women are excited and apprehensive about fitting in opportunities for kids to investigate and explore with learning curriculum requirements. “A lot of teachers think that there isn’t a lot of time to be doing open-ended, inquiry-based labs because there’s so much material they need to fit in before the test. But on the other hand, some things like the Next Generation Science Standards that have come out have a strong focus on doing labs, mathematical modeling and engineering,” Bryan said. “I feel like there are always issues, but I hope stuff will work out.” Bryan and Somers say they love teaching, but they do want to keep their options open in the future after they have completed all the ESPRIT requirements. Mons knows that she wants to teach science and math for her career based on previous teaching and outreach experiences she’s had through UO’s Science Program to Inspire Creativity and Excellence. “I felt happy being in a classroom and working with students, and even though I did enjoy research, it’s not to the same extent,” Mons said. “I liked that when I would come home from doing an outreach event or something like that. I just felt really happy and positive.”

DUCKS EMPOWERED WINS ELECTION, BRINGING DIVERSITY AND YEARS OF ASUO EXPERIENCE BY EMILY MATLOCK AND ANNAKIN WELP Sabinna Estephania Pierre will be the new ASUO president, along with Vice President Montse Mendez, after their slate, Ducks Empowered, emerged victorious in this year’s ASUO election that ended on April 11. ey are set to take office May 25. e slate won in a clean sweep, taking all 30 positions they were vying for. Pierre and Mendez won with 955 votes out of 1,646 total votes for executive candidates. In doing so, they outcompeted challengers UO is Yours and Oregon Alliance. It marks the end of a somewhat rough election season in which all three slates filed grievances against each other regarding alleged defamation when the Oregon Alliance VP exited from the race after controversy over a Facebook post. When the elections were coming to a close ursday evening, Pierre said she was hosting a gathering at her house to celebrate the work that her slate accomplished throughout the campaign season. “Win or lose, we wanted to throw a little celebration for our slate members because they have put in a lot of work. We have put a lot of hours into campaigning, and I felt like everyone deserved some celebration,” she said.

She was on her way to pick up some supplies when one of her slate members, Rahim Sharma, called her to say, “Congratulations, Madam President.” “I was freaking out. I had to pull over a little bit because I was freaking out,” Pierre said. “I thought it was really surreal because we put so much work into it.” Pierre, a junior, grew up in Portland. Her parents immigrated to the U.S. from Haiti before she was born. She originally wanted to be a doctor, but when she came to UO, she met her mentor, Kellie Johnson, a former district attorney for Oregon. She said seeing a Black woman in law piqued her interest in politics and inspired her to pursue a legal studies minor. Mendez, also a junior, was born in Brazil and lived in Mexico until she was 12 years old. She graduated from Lincoln High School in Portland after moving there from Ohio during high school. She is studying planning, public policy and management. Both Pierre and Mendez got involved with ASUO early in their college careers. Pierre started on the EMU board and was a senator as a sophomore, while Mendez served as the EMU budget chair and was also president of the senate.

is year, the duo said their slate is one of the most diverse in ASUO’s history. e two women said they have faced additional challenges as women of color in politics, trying to navigate their political platform with their marginalized identities. “Being in a position of power is already so hard,” Mendez said. “Being in a position of power while holding a marginalized identity has so many things that no one prepares you for.” She said that while she’s been working with ASUO, she’s “toughened [her] skin a bit” but said the pair still faced challenges surrounding racism and identity politics along the campaign trail. Ducks Empowered’s key positions included fair student wages, engaging students in tuition decision processes and increasing marginalized groups’ access to mental health care, issues that proved to be personal to them while campaigning. Both said they suffered from anxiety during the campaign process but grew stronger throughout it. “I saw Sabinna blossom so much during this campaign,” Mendez said. She said though Pierre tends to be more introverted, Mendez was “thoroughly impressed at watching her grow

“Avengers: Endgame” hits theaters next week on ursday, April 26, which means there isn’t much time to catch up. Instead of rewatching all 22 movies in just under two weeks, catch up on the most important, and best, Marvel movies of the decade. Start off as a loyal fan by watching “Iron Man” and get reacquainted with Marvel’s first and most important character. en opt for some of the origins like “Captain America: e First Avenger,” (skip the first or), then catch the first Avengers team-up movie. Next, watch “Guardians of Galaxy,” and after that, the second Avengers movie, “Age of Ultron.” Now watch “Captain America: Civil War,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” “ or Ragnarok” and “Black Panther.” e final movie to watch is “Avengers: Infinity War.” Arguably the most important, even if it isn’t necessarily the best — so make sure to take some notes here. Hopefully this will help with your Endgame preparation and make the movie that much more fun to watch.

OPINION High textbook prices can be detrimental to students’ grades. (Connor Cox)

GETTING AROUND OVERPRICED TEXTBOOKS BY JOANNA MANN • TWITTER @JOANNAMANNDANCE At the start of each term, college students are faced with a dilemma: Should I buy the textbook for this class or just try to pull whatever grade I can without it? We’ve all been there — scouring the bookstore last minute, looking at textbook prices and putting them right back on the shelf. A single textbook can be priced at over $200. at’s a month’s worth of groceries. Between 2012 and 2013, the price of textbooks rose by 82 percent— nearly three times the rate of inflation. For many students, buying steeply priced textbooks for four courses each term is simply not in the budget. On average, students spend around $1,200 a year on books and supplies. It’s a decision between hurting your wallet and hurting your GPA. Students who decide against buying their

textbooks know that there is a good chance of their grade being affected in the long run, but it’s a risk many are forced to take. Textbook prices can also keep students from graduating on time. According to one college study, 47.6 percent of students admitted to taking fewer classes per term in order to save money for course materials. When registering for the next term’s courses, students often take into account which classes require pricey textbooks and which ones require no outside materials. Even if one class is more major relevant, all else being equal, the more affordable course is often what students end up picking. Another frustrating issue is the expectation to buy new editions of textbooks every couple of years, whether the subject matter

has changed or not. As if one $70 textbook wasn’t enough, publishers use these new releases as “a set of tactics to drive prices skyward” according to the Public Interest Research Group for college students. Even if students can technically afford to buy the course textbook, they still might try to slip by without it. ese outrageous costs are a little insulting, and there are cheaper ways to obtain the material. Sites like Amazon offer more reasonable textbook prices, but they have their limitations as well. Paywalls and expiration dates are placed on rentals, and used books from online sites are often damaged and scribbled over. But anything beats footing the bill for unreasonably priced course materials that are only used for a couple of months. Perhaps the best solution for this

economic crisis, AKA buying college materials, is open textbooks. ese books are still written and reviewed by faculty, but they are free to download and open to the online public. In print, they are typically available between $20 and $40. More and more professors have started making their books available online as open textbooks. ey understand the financial burden that college creates and that catering to students’ needs is the best way to get them enrolled in the course. Open Educational Resources is a free site for textbooks to look into the next time you find yourself sweating in the Duck Store at checkout. Other relatively inexpensive sites are Lead Winds and Flatworld Knowledge. Nobody should have to decide between paying a month’s rent and buying a math book.

THE FUTURE OF

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL AT UO BY EMMA SPAETH Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, was a sea of green and gold as Oregon and Baylor fans flooded in. In a historic moment on April 5, 2019, the Oregon Ducks women’s basketball team took the court for its first Final Four appearance in program history. e Ducks battled all season long, and despite the devastating loss to Baylor in Tampa, the women’s basketball program has been forever changed. It all started when Coach Kelly Graves joined the Ducks in 2014. Prior to Graves’ arrival in Eugene, the women’s basketball program struggled in the competitive Pac-12 conference. Since he took over the program, the Ducks have won two Pac-12 season championships and one Pac-12 tournament championship. Graves and the Ducks have fought harder and harder each season, coming back each year with a hunger to achieve more than the last year. In 2017, the Ducks made their first appearance in the Sweet 16 and pushed through to the Elite Eight before losing to the University of Connecticut. In 2018, the Ducks made it back to the Elite Eight before

losing by 10 points to Notre Dame. en in 2019, the Ducks made history, winning the tournament championship and competing in the Final Four, where they lost by only five points to Baylor. But they aren’t done. ese past few years, Oregon has been home to some incredible female athletes. is historic team, led by Sabrina Ionescu, has worked hard for its successes. Ionescu, now a household name, is a two-time winner of the Pac-12 Player of the Year award (2018 and 2019) and the first Duck to win this award more than once. She also made history this year by becoming the all-time NCAA leader in career triple-doubles, recording more than any male or female athlete in the NCAA. By her side are post player Ruthy Hebard, who averages almost a double-double, and guard Maite Cazorla, who was just drafted to the Atlanta Dream. ese women have contributed to Oregon’s success, but the progress will not end with them. ey have helped build a program and pave a way

for future success. Ionescu made it clear in her Letter to Ducks Nation, published in e Players’ Tribune, that this is not just one season, that this is not just a few good players, but that this program is going to continue to grow and thrive long after they graduate. “Something is happening here. We’re building a program — and not just any program. We’re building a program that wins national championships. Starting, I hope, with this next one.” Ionescu details how their fan base has grown from her freshman year, when they drew about 1,000 fans to games, to this season, in which they averaged around 7,000. is growing fan base includes forces like Steph Curry, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. Women’s basketball at the University of Oregon is forever changed. is program is growing, gaining national attention and packing stadiums. It’s not just about the players or the coach, it’s about building a program, and one to be reckoned with — one that will continue to thrive and one that will win a national championship.

SOFTBALL DROPS SERIES FINALE TO NO. 1 UCLA, 8-1, IN LATE-INNING COLLAPSE BY MAVERICK PALLACK• TWITTER @MAVPALLACK

e Oregon softball team and the No. 1 UCLA Bruins embattled on a pitchers’ duel for the series finale in Los Angeles on Sunday. e Ducks gave the Bruins their first conference loss of the season on Friday in a 4-3 victory, but the Bruins bounced back on Saturday with an 8-3 win. e 2018 series finale was in a 0-0 deadlock until Oregon’s Shannon Rhodes hit a three-run walk-off home run. e 2019 installment continued in a similar trajectory. Oregon pitcher Jordan Dail and UCLA pitchers Holly Azevedo and Rachel Garcia combined for just one earned run through the first five innings.

e Bruins pitchers allowed just one run, striking out nine while allowing just five hits and one walk. Ultimately, it was UCLA that pulled ahead, when Dail gave up a three-run home run to Garcia and reliever Kailey Krueger surrendered a grand slam to Malia Quarles in the sixth inning. e Oregon softball team (17-21, 2-10) fell 8-1 to the No. 1 UCLA Bruins (37-2, 11-1) in a hard-fought effort that the score does not give justice to. Dail was once again punished for her defense’s mistakes early on. UCLA’s Kelli Godin reached base on an error by first baseman Lexi Wagner. She then reached third base when catcher Shaye Bowden

committed an error on Godin’s steal attempt. e Bruins scored Godin on a Briana Perez sacrifice fly, giving Dail her 11th unearned run of the season. e sophomore left hander held the Bruins at bay, having zero earned runs until the bottom of the sixth on that Garcia home run. en things fell apart. In the same inning, Quarles launched a grand slam to put the game out of reach. e Ducks were scoreless until the top of the fifth inning, where they took advantage of the Bruins’ shoddy defense. With the bases loaded and two outs, center fielder Haley Cruse

stepped to the plate against Garcia, the reigning espnW and Pac-12 player of the year. Garcia got Cruse to chop the ball to shortstop, but Perez mishandled the tough play, allowing the tying run to score. Although the Bruins won the game and the series, the Ducks put forth three great efforts on the weekend. Despite her line showing 13 earned runs this weekend, Dail shouldered a major load against a top-ranked team that had only been defeated once this season. Oregon will return to Eugene for a three-game series against last-placed Cal (23-20, 2-12), which will start ursday, April 18, at 5 p.m.
