OSU vs. USA
The Oregon State women's soccer team returns to action tonight as the Beavers will host the U-23 United States Women's National Team at 7:00 p.m. Admittance to the special exhibition match is free. However, fans are encouraged to "Help Fight Hunger" by bringing a canned food item to donate to Community Outreach.
The exhibition match with the national squad marks the first time a women's U.S. national team has made an appearance at Paul Lorenz Field.
The U-23 national squad is in Oregon training for a European tour later this year, as the squad recently captured its second consecutive Nordic Cup title in 2008 and its 10th in the last 12 years.
The U-23 national squad is the main source for future full national team players, as the majority of the current player pool has been funneled through the U-20/U-23 program.
Oregon State, which opened spring practice following OSU's spring break, returns 10 starters from last year's squad that finished with a record of 6-11-2 on the season.

Kristick watch list
At a luncheon in Newport Beach, Calif., Ronnie Lott announced that Oregon State linebacker Keaton Kristick has been named to the 2009 Lott Trophy Watch List.
The Watch List is made up of 42 of the nation's top defensive players who have had the biggest IMPACT on their teams on and off the field. IMPACT stands for integrity, maturity, performance, academics, community and tenacity.
Kristick is a 226-pound senior from Fountain Hills, Ariz. He had 82 tackles last season, including 14.5 for losses. He was named to the Pac-10's all-conference second team.
