STOLTENBERG, LIBKE HONORED BY PAC-10
Midfielder Scout Libke was named to the 2009 Pac-10 All-Freshman Team and forward Jen Stoltenberg was once again named honorable mention all-conference last year as a junior.

Stoltenberg posted a UO single-season record of 26 points on 10 goals and six assists that season. She was also named honorable mention all-league following her sophomore season, where she tied the school record with 25 points on 10 goals and five assists.

Libke, from Portland, Ore., had 10 points on three goals and four assists in her first collegiate season at an influential position in the Oregon midfield. Libke became the second straight Oregon student-athlete to be recognized as one of the conference's best newcomers, as goalkeeper Cody Miles was selected to the all-freshman team last year.

ERICKSON WORKS WITH U.S. U-18 NATIONAL TEAM
Head coach Tara Erickson resumed her duties with the U.S. Under-18 Women's National Team earlier this year with a seven-day training camp at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. The training camp ran Jan. 10-17, the first session for the team working under U.S head coach Dave Chesler.

Erickson was appointed to the U-18 coaching staff in early 2009. She coached at the U.S. Super Team Camp last January, working with both the U-20 and U-18 teams at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif. Erickson also worked the U-18 Women's National Team Camps the following April and June at the Home Depot Center.

Both Erickson and sophomore forward Julie Armstrong participated in the U.S. Youth National Team Camp last July in Boulder, Colo., an event which featured both the Canadian and United States U-18 and U-20 Women's National Teams.
