The five-foot-seven freshman from Vacaville, Calif., hit an impressive .643 over the weekend with three home runs and eight RBI. She finished the week with nine hits, boasting a 1.357 slugging percentage, and two drawn walks. Ward also picked up two wins in the circle leading the Owls to a weekend sweep on the road at Carroll College.

Oregon’s Payton Pritchard was named Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Player of the Year on Monday. The Oregon Ducks point guard took top honors on the all-Pac-12 awards, as voted on by the league’s men’s basketball coaches.
Pritchard led the No. 13 Ducks to the Pac-12 regular season championship while leading the conference in scoring (20.5 points) and assists (5.6) and also averaging 4.3 rebounds. The West Linn native is one of just three players nationally averaging 20 points, five assists and four rebounds per game.
Jim Zalesky, Oregon State’s wrestling coach since 2006, was dismissed Monday by the school.
Oregon State finished fourth in the Pac-12 Championship meet last Saturday. The Beavers haven’t won a conference title since 2016. Under Zalesky, Oregon State won seven conference team titles and 33 individual championships. The Beavers were 147-75-2 in dual meets during Zalesky’s tenure. During the recent Pac-12s, Devan Turner (133 pounds) took first and Grant Willits (141) second place.
