OREGON'S LAST TRUE FRESHMAN CATCHER
True freshman Emma Cox made four starts at catcher during the opening weekend of play. The last true freshman to lead Oregon in starts at catcher was Janelle Lindvall in 2013. She started 37-of-57 games behind the plate for the Ducks and was named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team. Lindvall went on to become a three-time all-Pac-12 player and was the league's Defensive Player of the Year as a senior in 2016. Lindvall is also Oregon's career leader in home runs (48) and RBI (195).
