OREGON STATE W. SOCCER
OREGON STATE W. SOCCER OSUBeavers.com @OSU_WSoccer Trevor Cramer – [email protected] Pac-12 students are known for their success on the field, but they are also impressive, complete people with outside interests, diverse backgrounds, extracurricular activities, interesting families, busy schedules, and full lives. The release for this week’s game is focused on who Oregon State students are off the field of play.
Redberg: From America’s Team to Beaver Nation
COMMUNITY CORNER
The skills that made her an all-state soccer player seven years ago have not yet totally returned. But after serving in America’s team the past four years, McKenzie Redberg is thrilled to be playing for Beaver Nation. The former Corvallis High School standout, now just two months shy of her 25th birthday, is playing for the Oregon State women’s soccer team, fulfilling a dream that was deferred, but not denied, by a four-year tour as a medic in the United States Air Force. “I used to be a ball girl at games growing up, watching Jodie Taylor, [fellow CHS grad] Ashley Wood” and other Beaver notables from days of yore, the junior forward said recently, recalling her younger days in an interview following a morning practice. “I have always wanted to play soccer at Oregon State.” Time hasn’t stood still since she last patrolled the sidelines at Lorenz Field. Taylor is now a World Cup star with England’s national team, and Corvallis and the university have grown considerably in the interim. “It’s been four years since I’ve really been home, except for maybe a week or two [on leave],” Redberg said. “Corvallis and Oregon State have changed a lot since I left. “But I’m very excited to be home and playing again.” A junior eligibility-wise, Redburg has one shot on goal in two appearances this season. After not playing in the first four games, she logged 22 minutes in a 2-1 overtime victory at Kansas on Sept. 6 and 13 minutes in a 1-1 draw at Texas on Sept. 10. She’s discovered that Pacific-12 Conference soccer is far superior to the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Hawks, the men’s rec-level club team she played for the past three years. “I’m very rusty,” she conceded. “The league I played in was made up of older guys, so it’s completely different playing against guys who were 33 or 34 years old to playing against women who have played in college, high school and club.
-This winter the Oregon State team began supporting the Corvallis Safe Routes to School program, which encourages elementary students to bike or walk to school. The class that has the most students walk/bike gets “team time” with the Beavers. - The Oregon State squad also spends time volunteering with the Albany AYSO as “guest coaches”. They help run organized activities and do question and answer sessions.

TOP PERFORMERS
The Oregon State women’s soccer team really helps put the “Student” in student-athlete. Ten Beavers have an overall GPA over 3.0, with Kathryn Baker and Bella Geist leading the way for the squad. Kathryn Baker – It would be hard to find many students on the Oregon State campus more impressive than Kathryn Baker. The junior defender holds a 3.90 GPA overall, and posted a perfect 4.0 during spring quarter, despite taking a rigorous course load as a Pre-Bioengineering major. Baker took a full slate of 17 units in the spring, including courses such as Process Data Analysis, Electrical Fundamentals and Matrix and Power Series Methods. Bella Geist – Sophomore Bella Geist has wasted no time in getting into the groove of collegiate-level academics. The goalkeeper has a 3.95 overall GPA and posted a 3.98 mark in spring quarter. Among the challenging classes for the Biology Major were Chemistry and Integral Calculus, both of which Geist got A’s in. In addition to Baker, who was selected to the Pac-12 All-Academic First Team last season, Sabrina Santarossa, Annie Govig and Gwen Bieck all earned Pac-12 Academic Honorable Mention last year. BEST-IN-CLASS
Three Oregon State women’s soccer players are slated to take BI 211: Principles of Biology in the upcoming quarter. The course is described as class on “Origins of life, energy transformations, plant and animal diversity.” The class is held three day a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) with an additional lab component on Tuesday. After taking the course, students are expected to be able to “Describe the fundamental concepts of biology, including a detailed understanding of biodiversity, phylogenetics and the relationship between structure and function.”
