Husky Baseball Sweeps USC, Jumps to Third in Pac-10

The Washington baseball team earned its first national ranking of the 2008 season today as Collegiate Baseball installed the Huskies as its No. 30-ranked team in today's poll.

Over the weekend, the Huskies (28-16 overall, 8-7 in the Pac-10 Conference) jumped from eighth to sole possession of third place in the league standings thanks to a three-game sweep at USC.

This marks the first time the Diamond Dawgs have swept USC in Los Angeles.

This week, the Huskies play a non-conference game Tuesday at Portland before Washington State visits Husky Ballpark for a three-game series this weekend. More

Husky Crews Win Featured Windermere Cup Races

Husky Softball Shut-out by No. 12 Arizona, 3-0

The race to the starting area proved more dramatic than the sprint to the finish line for the top-ranked Washington men's varsity eight.

The defending national champion Huskies overcame pre-race equipment problems and cruised to an open-water triumph over Poland's under-23 national team and 12th-ranked Navy, Saturday in the 22nd-annual Windermere Cup on the Lake Washington Montlake Cut.

The 15th-ranked Washington varsity eight won the women's featured race over Navy and Melbourne (Australia) University.

UW's top women's crew went wire-to-wire for the win, clocking a time of 6-minutes, 35.17-seconds. Navy was a distant second in 6:50.17 and Melbourne placed third in 6:52.38. The Huskies claimed the Windermere Cup trophy for the second straight season and the seventh time in the last 10 years. More

Arizona's Taryne Mowatt threw a complete-game no-hitter to lead the 12th-ranked Wildcats past No. 23 Washington, 3-0, on Sunday in Pac-10 softball action. Arizona improved its record to 33-16 and 10-8 in the Pac-10, while the Huskies lost their third straight and fell to 26-21-1 and 5-12 in the conference.

The Huskies only managed to get three runners on in the game, as Mowatt sat the Huskies down in order in each of the final four innings. Mowatt (21-12) struck out 11 and walked two.

Washington senior Caitlin Noble played in her final game at Husky Softball Stadium, and started in the circle for the Huskies. Noble (11-8) allowed three earned runs, nine hits and four walks, while striking out three over the first four and one-thirds innings. More
