I'm disappointed about the total blackout of softball coverage by Bison Media Blog about the Summit League tournament.

I'm sure the lack of softball coverage had to do more with the necessary intense coverage of the Fargo Marathon than with snubbing Bison softball.

Well you had the right expectations...After Oregon's season is over they are going to tear down the current stadium and build this....

All competition slates during the Eugene Regional will not be broadcasted on television, however
all games will be streamed live with commentary and can be accessed for free at GoDucks.com.




Fresno State (40-14) is headed to the Eugene, Oregon Regional of the 2015 NCAA Tournament and will open up against North Dakota State (43-9) on Thursday, May 14 at 2 p.m. Also attending the Eugene Regional this week at Howe Field is No. 2 overall seed Oregon (44-6) and BYU (39-12).

"It's a comfortable draw for us," head coach Trisha Ford said. "We're pretty familiar with Oregon after playing them earlier this year, North Dakota State had a great year and BYU is another team that had a great year. I'm excited to go in there and hopefully make some noise.....

Fresno State is 1-0 all-time against North Dakota State, with the only meeting coming during
the `Dogs non-conference slate in 2012 at the Fresno State Classic.

2015 will mark the `Dogs 35th postseason advancement with 30 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances from 1982-2011. The Fresno State softball team claimed the 1998 NCAA title while competing in 12 Women's College World Series and with four NCAA runner-up finishes.

That is how they roll. I guess the current stadium doesn't have adequate TV lighting and the press box is very small, I think that explains why the #2 seed didn't get TV coverage from ESPN. Obviously that won't be an issue in the stadium, that thing looks built to be shown off on TV.

Actually, all things considered, it doesn't appear at first blush to be all that expensive. I'm sure it is, but it's not like it's unnecessarily loaded with amenities. Would be awesome to have an upgrade or three at Ellig field. A windblock, perhaps?

Expanded seating would be nice. Actual dugouts would be awesome. Some Fenway style seats above the right field fence would be spectacular. Video board a plus. Adequate bathrooms for players only I'm sure would be appreciated. An actual press box behind home plate would look better and help block the wind. I'm all for upgrading the facility considering the success that program has had. They more than deserve it.

I for one am glad we don't have to face that minnesota pitcher again. We don't even have a hit off her. Im guessing the pitchers in the Oregon region are pretty good too. :) But it might be good to see something different. Either way this should be fun to watch. Let's Go Bison!!!

Again...thanks to all of you who constantly post updates and info.

If Menke can dominate and we get a few timely hits, we got a shot. Oregon is great but they can be beaten.

Teacher might be onto something, Groenewegen has owned us and getting a shot at something different might not be a bad thing. Even though Oregon also has a stud pitcher.

Just wondering if the Marketing Department of NDSU and NDSU Athletics send out anything to alumni or team maker members in the Eugene area for something like the NCAA softball. Basketball and football events always get more local press that an event is in town. I know it is held in the host schools town but just a thought I guess.

They were talking on the Bison Media Blog video from yesterday that quite a few players are from California so Oregon isn't that far away for their families to travel too. I think they'll be a good contingent of Bison fans there. Outside of that, I'm not sure about sending out any info.

Congratulations to Bison softball team for finally cracking the regular season top 25 polls! They came close back in 2008 or 2009... And congrats on winning the Summit League Softball Tournament! But to be assigned to the #2 seed regional, what gives? That's like those prior years when they ended up with #1, #2, #7 (which they beat!), etc. This year they should have ended up in a lower seed regional... look at their RPI! Yeah, yeah, I know... the tournament committee factors in travel for everybody, but c'mon, there are other places they could have been placed. Alan at http://collegesoftball.blogspot.com/ does a geospatial map of teams in the tournament and their assignments. It's always interesting to see. In any case, why not #10 Mizzou or #16 ND? In any case, great season ladies and coaches!!!

They don't. I'm a team maker in Oregon and didn't get anything targeted for those of us out west. We made it to the Baseball tournament last year in Corvallis, but I can't get any time off work so we'd only be able to make Saturday's game if the Bison are still in it.

I did some checking and the lead donation was 10 million so I would imagine it's quite spendy.

i know im stating the obvious but spending a ton of money on softball facilities is tough here since we only have played 14 games in 2 years not counting the tournament.

On the flip side the ladies deserve an upgrade, even though its not a money maker and we want to keep the conference happy so we can keep hosting the tournament. And if we can actually get some nice conference championship crowds it could be cool. And of course getting on TV is good exposure.

Looking at other softball fields I would imagine a half million would go a LONG WAY towards improving the facilities! Don't need to spend huge bucks just make it improved. Weather will always be an issue obviously

You know our stadium sucks when the facilities page on Gobison.com list a score board and a tarp as key features. That would be like teh hockies listing the zamboni!

Pretty much Menke through the entire tournament I would guess, the same as last year. Krista was the only pitcher last year and threw 427 pitches over three games. Only way she gets pulled is if we're up by a ton, down by a ton, or things are going badly for her. Then she'll get pulled for a couple innings and reinserted if the Bison are staying in the game.

In Mike White’s five previous seasons at Oregon, the UO softball team is a perfect 15-0 in NCAA Regional appearances, an unblemished record the Ducks put on the line beginning Thursday at Howe Field.

To extend that streak, the Ducks will navigate a four-team field loaded with top pitching. Their opponent Thursday at 5 p.m., BYU, boasts a sophomore in McKenna Bull who leads the NCAA with 34 wins and has an ERA of 1.96. Prior that game, at 2 p.m., North Dakota State will send Krista Menke (32 wins, 362 strikeouts) to the circle against Fresno State’s Jill Compton (28-10, 2.10 ERA).

Oregon counters with its own ace, Cheridan Hawkins, arguably the best starting pitcher in the country. And the Ducks will field a lineup as deep and versatile as any in the country, a relentless offense that provides little margin for error to even the best pitchers in the country.

Entering Thursday’s games, Oregon is third in the country in hitting with a .368 average, and on pace to shatter several school records. First-team all-conference selections Janie Takeda (.421) and Jenna Lilley (.448) lead the way hitting second and third in the order, but the lineup is anything but top-heavy..........

How Oregon Ducks pitcher Cheridan Hawkins changed her delivery to become even better

Such is the trust inside the dugout of the Oregon softball program that this spring, just one week after left-hander Cheridan Hawkins achieved perfection, she broke down her throwing motion when her coach suggested it was anything but flawless.

It was the same delivery, mind you, that made her an All-America and Player of the Year finalist as a sophomore in 2014 and, after her 56-pitch display of perfection against Washington on March 27, lowered her ERA to a microscopic 0.30. It wasn't exactly broken..........

When one works hard on the little things that matter, and play for others instead of yourself, you eventually put yourself in opportunities to do something special. The more opportunities, the more chances of breaking through and shocking the world..............and creating, or building upon, a tradition and a legacy. The Herd has been doing this for 50 years.

Today is another opportunity born of hard work. More will follow. Won or lose today, play like a champion. Play like the Bison.

Homestate article on Krista Menke.....Nebraska natives set to pitch at regional



Menke, a senior from Friend, is second in the nation with 362 strikeouts, third in shutouts (11), fifth in wins (32), sixth in strikeouts per seven innings pitched (10.6) and ninth in hits allowed (4.04). She was the Summit League pitcher of the year this spring for a second time. She’s 32-4 with a 2.05 ERA and also has a 3.627 GPA.

“We’re excited. We face teams like this all the time,” Menke said. “We prepare ourselves for this moment.”
