GENERAL
ATHLETICS NEWS:
"A WEEKEND OF CHAMPIONS": Idaho's own Albertson College and Lewis-Clark State will meet for single games on April 26 (5 p.m.) and April 27 (2 p.m.) at Memorial Stadium in Boise, with proceeds to help the Coyote Athletic Association. In a year of severe budget cuts at Albertson, all proceeds from this event will benefit athletics at Albertson, helping to maintain the level of excellence of all Coyote athletic teams. The athletic department has teamed with the Caldwell Youth Baseball Association, Meridian Youth Baseball/Softball Association, RiverStone Community School, Cole Valley Christian School, along with the Idaho Lottery and KIVI-TV for this event. Tickets are $10 for each game and can be purchased by contacting Dave Hahn at (208) 459-5835.
BASEBALL TAILGATE PARTY: Come join the Albertson Admission Department for a tailgate party this Saturday at 10:30 a.m., prior to the baseball doubleheader with Northwest Nazarene. The event will take play on the McCain Center balcony at Albertson College and donations will be taken. For more information, contact Lori Werth at 459-5305.
WEBSITE REDESIGN: Over the next few weeks, watch for changes on the interior pages within the Albertson athletic website.
WOMEN'S TENNIS (3-4):
MATCH WITH TVCC CANCELED: The scheduled match with Treasure Valley CC on Saturday was canceled. A make-up date for the match has not been reached.
OFF UNTIL APRIL: The next match for the Lady 'Yotes, who have a 3-4 record overall and 1-3 Region I mark is the weekend of April 12-13 when they travel to the Seattle area to meet Pacific Lutheran and Bellevue CC.
MEN'S AND WOMEN'S GOLF:
SEASON KICKS OFF THURSDAY: The 2003 Albertson men's and
women's golf team will open its Spring season this Thursday afternoon in dual
matches with Northwest Nazarene at Ridgecrest Golf Club in Nampa. The
nine member men's team and the two member women's team should be very
competitive this season, states head coach Garry Matlock. The season
includes a trio of tournaments - the Lewis-Clark State Invitational, the Idaho
State Invitational, and the Westminster Invitational, all leading up to the
Regional Championship in Missoula, Mont.
BASEBALL (14-6): ‘Yotes
take 2-of-3 from Central, Garcia takes 26-game hitting streak into weekend NNU
series
COMING UP: Four-game series with Northwest Nazarene – doubleheader
Friday at Vail Field, Nampa, 4 p.m.; doubleheader Saturday at Simplot Stadium,
noon.
LAST WEEK: Won 2-of-3 games vs. Central Washington (W 6-5, L
7-5, W 6-2).
GARCIA EXTENDS HITTING STREAK
NEAR RECORD TERRITORY: It was a bit dicey on
Monday afternoon, but when the weekend was all said and done, Dustin Garcia (Reno,
Nev. / American River CC) extending his hitting streak to 26-games, helping
the Coyotes to wins in two of three games.
The senior, who sits one game shy of Scott Skeen’s 27-game streak from
the 2000 season, took care of business in his opening at bat on Sunday –
grounding a base hit up the middle.
Monday, it was a bit tougher – after going 0-for-3, “DGar" hit a
two-strike two-out RBI double off the top of the left-centerfield wall to keep
the game and streak alive. Garcia
stroked a pair of doubles in the nightcap, giving him a 5-for-12 series, with
five runs scored and two RBI.
BURROW CONTINUES TO IMPRESS: With a nagging arm injury keeping All-Conference
starter Taylor Blair (Sacramento, Calif. / Feather River CC) in
the dugout, transfer Brad Burrow (Taylorsville, Utah / College of
Southern Idaho) has emerged as the top Coyote hurler this year. The junior picked up both Albertson
victories in the Central Washington series, running his mark to 6-0 on the year,
dropping his ERA to 1.59. Burrow went a
strong seven innings in Monday’s second game, giving up just one earned run
while striking out five. He also picked
up the win in relief on Sunday – that after blowing his first save opportunity
in five chances.
URANGA BREAKS ONE MARK,
NEARING OTHERS: Productivity and
longevity has been the key for shortstop Darren Uranga (Homedale,
Idaho / Homedale HS) and his pursuit of a handful of Coyote career
records. The senior reached his first milestone
on Monday, starting his 194th game in an Albertson uniform, moving him past
Greg Schelhaas into the top spot.
Uranga ranks second behind the former slugger in four other categories –
hits, runs, at bats, and games played.
He also currently ranks third all-time in RBI, fourth in triples, and
fifth in doubles.
YOUNGER REID RETURNS TO
LINE-UP: After missing the first 19
games of the season with a knee injury, sophomore infielder Trey Reid (Boise,
Idaho / Capital HS) returned to the line-up against Central Washington on
Monday. Reid, who damaged knee ligaments
during the off-season, wears a protective brace on his right knee for support.
PRODUCTION FROM THE BACKSTOP: Offensive production from the catcher position has
not been a plus for the Coyotes over the past few years. Despite the great defensive play from three-year
starter D.J. Eberlin and others, the Albertson backstops had combined for just
a .232 average and 31 RBI during the past two seasons combined. Things look to be changing in 2003, as the ‘Yote
catchers have a combined .277 average with 15 RBI. Sage Kendall (Parma, Idaho / National American Univ.) leads
the way with a .318 average, a homer and 11 RBI – including the game-winning
base hit on Sunday against Central.
Kendall has went 8-for-18 at the plate during his last five games with
six RBI.
PATIENCE AT THE PLATE: Another Coyote with a good weekend was
second-baseman Greg Stalling (Boise, Idaho / Borah HS). The freshman went 6-for-12 in the weekend
set, scoring four runs and driving in four more – raising his batting average
to .379. What is even more impressive is
the youngster’s team-leading .560 on base percentage – thanks in part to 20
free passes he has drawn this year.
RECAPPING THE WEEKEND: An RBI single by Sage Kendall in the bottom of the
ninth inning gave Albertson a 5-4 victory over Central Washington in Sunday’s
series opener. Coyote starter Noah
Grubenhoff (Selah, Wash. / Columbia Basin CC) went seven effective
innings, giving up just three earned runs, but left with the score tied
3-3. After a 1-2-3 eighth inning from
freshman Clayton Hubbard (Pocatello, Idaho / Pocatello HS), Josh
Orr (Winnemucca, Nev. / Lowry HS) gave Albertson a one-run lead with
a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the inning.
After Central tied it with two outs in the ninth, Greg Stalling led off
the bottom half with a single and stole second. Stalling advanced to third on a Nick Snow (Everett,
Wash. / Cal Poly-SLO) double off the centerfield wall, then scored on
Kendall’s chopper through a drawn in infield.
Monday’s doubleheader saw Central capitalize on three Albertson errors
to win the opener, 7-5. Trailing by
five in the ninth, the Coyotes strung together doubles by Orr and Dustin
Garcia, a Stalling single, and a Darren Uranga triple to bring the tying run to
the plate. However, Snow struck out on
three pitches to end the game. The
nightcap was all Albertson, scoring six runs in the first four frames to secure
the win. A plus was two scoreless
innings from the Coyote pen – as Hubbard and sophomore Matt Bergstrom (Hermiston,
Ore. / Hermiston HS) each retired the Wildcats in order.
REGIONAL AND NATIONAL POLLS: For the second consecutive week, Albertson is
ranked No. 3 in the NAIA Region I coaches’ poll, behind Lewis-Clark State and
British Columbia. Rounding out the
regional top-six are Concordia, Western Baptist, and Oregon Tech. Albertson remained at No. 22 in this week’s
national poll, with LC-State staying put at No. 2 after a 5-2 week, and British
Columbia moving up from No. 19 to No. 16 without playing a game.
HOME AND HOME WITH NORTHWEST
NAZARENE: The Canyon County battle on
the diamond will commence this weekend, as Albertson and Northwest Nazarene will
meet for a four-game series – with a doubleheader taking place at each school’s
home field. The Crusaders (4-17) have
struggled in their first season as a full-fledged NCAA Division II member – but
played well on Tuesday, sweeping a doubleheader from Eastern Oregon. NNU can hit the ball – holding a team
batting average of .300 and five starters with averages .333 or higher. However, the nightmare for head coach Tim
Onofrei has been on the mound – a 9.48 team ERA has haunted him, and the fact
that three of his four starting pitchers have ERA’s above 10.00. Last season, Albertson won five of the six
meetings between the schools, including the final four, extending their
all-time mark against their rival to 83-9.

COYOTES: For game stories, statistics,

SOFTBALL (6-3): Glenn tosses perfect
game in record-breaking doubleheader sweep of Walla Walla
COMING UP: Idle until next Wednesday, Northwest Nazarene
(DH), 2 p.m.
LAST WEEK: Defeated Walla Walla (6-0, 10-2).
GLENN MAKES COYOTE HISTORY: An afternoon like the one Friday at Symms Field
does not happen often. Albertson hurler
Nicole Glenn (Nyssa, Ore. / BYU-Idaho) was in the zone,
literally, tossing the first perfect game in Coyote history, blanking Walla
Walla College, 6-0, in Game 1 of a doubleheader. The senior retired all 21 batters, striking out ten. With the outstanding performance, Glenn was
named Cascade Conference and NAIA Region I Pitcher-of-the-Week – the first
Albertson player to ever receive the honor.
ABOUT THE NO-NO: The key to the no-hitter was the fact that Nicole
Glenn never allowed a Walla Walla player to reach a three-ball count. Outside of the ten punch-outs, the Wolves never
got a ball to the outfield – seven balls were hit on the ground to infielders,
with four others popping up to fielders around the horn. Solid defensive play from shortstop Angie
Gribble (Boise, Idaho / Bishop Kelly HS) and second-baseman Andrea
Nicolosi (Mountain Home, Idaho / Mountain Home HS) allowed the gem
to continue.
BIG BAT ATTACK: Overshadowed by the outstanding performance in
Game 1 in the circle was the offensive outburst in Game 2 by the ‘Yotes. Albertson set school records for runs in a
game in the 10-2 win over Walla Walla.
The Coyotes scored a school record nine runs in the first inning, en
route to the five inning win via the eight-run rule. The victors pounded out 12 hits, one off the school mark set
against Northwest Nazarene on March 1, 2002.
It was the sixth-time that the Coyotes have recorded ten or more hits in
a game.
MCCLURE SWINGS THE HOT STICK: A year of experience has proven big dividends for
outfielder Heather McClure (Boise, Idaho / Centennial HS). The sophomore was key in the two wins last
Friday, going 4-for-6 at the plate with two doubles, three RBI, and two stolen
bases. In just nine games this year,
McClure has already eclipsed her total for RBI, and is halfway to her hits
total from 2002. For her efforts, McClure
was the runner-up for Cascade Conference Hitter-of-the-Week honors.
IF THE FENCES WERE JUST
SHORTER: The nine-run first inning in
Friday’s nightcap was memorable for freshman Katie Theisen (Meridian,
Idaho / Centennial HS). The
outfielder led off the game with a ringing shot off the centerfield fence, just
missing her first home run. As 13
batters came up during the inning, Theisen took her second shot at leftfield,
drilling another hole in the wall for a two-run double. All-in-all, Theisen went 3-for-3 with two
runs scored and two RBI in the win.
OTHERS SHINING WITH THE BAT: Also having a good doubleheader was infielders Kira
Leaton (Boise, Idaho / Centennial HS) and freshman Angie
Gribble. Leaton went 3-for-6 in the
set, with four RBI – including a run-scoring triple in Game 2. Gribble shook off a poor start to the season
at the plate by going 3-for-6, all singles.
COYOTES IN THE CASCADE
CONFERENCE TOP-TEN: Unlike last season, the
Coyotes are a dominant force in the 2003 Cascade Conference statistics. Heading into play this week, Nicole Glenn
ranks No. 2 in both strikeouts and wins, along with No. 4 in earned run
average. Katie Theisen leads the league
in both doubles and stolen bases, while Kira Leaton leads the loop with ten
RBI. Leaton also ranks No. 3 in hits
and No. 8 in batting average, with Heather McClure ranking second in stolen
bases and No. 4 in batting average.
NATIONAL RANKINGS: The second regular-season NAIA national poll was
released on Tuesday and two of the six NAIA Region I teams were among the
Top-25. Simon Fraser, who has already
handed Albertson a 10-0 defeat this season, was the co-No. 1 team in the
nation, along with Oklahoma Baptist.
Also among the nation’s elite was Southern Oregon, who was ranked No.
18. Ironically, Oregon Tech received
ten votes with a 6-8 record, while Eastern Oregon, riding a nine-game win
streak and a 9-2 record, did not receive a vote.
FINAL REST DAYS BEFORE THE
STORM BEGINS: This week, the fastpitch team
will practice hard, but not take the field for a game – preparing for next
Wednesday’s match-up with rival Northwest Nazarene. Beginning next week, the Coyotes will play
six games a week over four of the next five weeks, including the 20-game
Cascade Conference season, and a four-game home-and-home set with Simon Fraser.
MORE ON NORTHWEST NAZARENE: The so-called twins of the Treasure Valley in
softball are not so identical this year, as NNU has not enjoyed the same
second-season success that its Canyon County rival has. Duane Miller’s squad, after limping to a
4-36 record in their first season, is still searching for their first win of
2003. The Crusaders (0-13), who have
lost 20-in-a-row dating back to last year, have scored two-or-more runs in just
three games this season – but nearly upset regional opponent Western
Washington, losing 10-8 in eight innings.
Only one player has a batting average above .200 – Meagan Shaw at .294,
and the squad as a team his a GNAC low .144.
Games against Albertson have not been friendly to NNU, as the Lady ‘Yotes
have won all seven meetings, outscoring the Crusaders, 40-18 – including 7-1
and 7-2 losses this year.
