UW 2010 Review
Coming off of a national championship in 2009, the UW softball team had a lot to live up to in 2010 and they put another very successful season in the books.
The Huskies, led by head coach Heather Tarr in her sixth season, won the Pac-10 Championship for the first time in 10 years, were ranked No. 1 in the top 25 poll all season and placed multiple student-athletes on all-conference, all-region and All-America teams.
"The 2010 season was a success for our program in so many ways," Tarr said. "We were obviously disappointed not winning another national championship, but in all, after losing five key seniors to graduation after the 2009 season, we are so proud of what the 2010 team did. We strengthened the national reputation of the Washington softball program."
The season ended with a 50-9 record and yet another trip to the Women's College World Series, where the Huskies were eliminated by national runner-up Arizona. Throughout the season, the Dawgs had a 19-game winning streak from April 3 (the second game of the UCLA series) - May 13 (the first game of the series vs. Arizona State).
Throughout the year, UW picked up big wins over San Diego State, BYU, Oklahoma, Fresno State, Oklahoma State, East Carolina, Hawai'i (twice) and Louisiana-Lafayette while taking every Pac-10 series, only dropping four total games in conference play.
Tarr was named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year for the first time.
Danielle Lawrie ended her career as not only one of the best pitchers in school history, but in the history of the Pac-10 and NCAA. She concluded her four years with an impressive 136-42 career record and 1,860 career strikeouts, the most in Pac-10 history and the fourth-most in NCAA history. She holds virtually every school pitching record.
She was the two-time Honda Award Winner and ASA/USA Softball Player of the Year and a three-time First-Team All-American.
Junior Jenn Salling and sophomore Niki Williams were also named first-team All-Americans. This was the second-straight honor for Salling and the first for Williams.
Along with those three, two others earned All-Pacific Region honors, in Shawna Wright and Kimi Pohlman.
Nine Huskies earned All-Pac 10 honors: Lawries, Salling, Williams, Wright, Pohlman, Amanada Fleischman, Bailey Stenson, Alyson McWherter and Hooch Fagaly.
Academically, five Huskies earned Pac-10 Academic honors, including: Morgan Stuart, Taylor Smith, Fleischman, McWherter and Salling.
Many Huskies participated in summer tournaments where current and former Huskies played in the World Cup for Team USA, Team Canada and the USA Futures Team.

Heather Tarr
Head Softball Coach
Heather Tarr enters her 7th year as the head coach after leading the Huskies back to the Women's College World Series for the third time in her career.
After leading the program to its 17th consecutive postseason berth in 2010, Tarr and her team gutted out the longest game in program history in the NCAA Regional final, defeating UMass 6-1 on the Minutewomen's home field in 15 innings. The Huskies then swept through the best-of-three Super Regionals over Georgia Tech in Atlanta before the three-week road trip continued in Oklahoma City. In their ninth Women's College World Series appearance and second in Tarr's five seasons, the Huskies won their first two games before falling to Georgia in the first semifinal game. But the Huskies showed their grit again, defeating Georgia that night to advance to the Championship Series, where they dominated the Gators to bring home the title.
The Huskies finished the 2009 season atop both the NFCA and ESPN.com polls for the first time in program history. Their 51 wins equaled the fourth-most in program history and the most for a Tarr-led Husky team. Following the season, Tarr and her staff were not only named the Pacific Region Coaching Staff of the Year, but also the NFCA National Coaching Staff of the Year.
Individual honors also came pouring in, as Danielle Lawrie was named the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year and the Honda Award winner, the first Husky softball player to ever earn such honors. Lawrie and senior Ashley Charters were named First Team All-Americans and were each named to National Teams following the season, with Charters being named to Team USA and Lawrie re-joining Canada.
Tarr's team peaked at the right time in 2009, with their offensive prowess on display at the World Series in addition to Lawrie's outstanding pitching which led to her being named the Women's College World Series Most Outstanding Player. Husky players set several College World Series records, with Niki Williams breaking records for most RBI in a game (7) and series (10) and Morgan Stuart breaking the record for most doubles in a series (4). Five Huskies were named to the All-Tournament team, including freshmen Kimi Pohlman and Niki Williams, sophomore Morgan Stuart, junior Danielle Lawrie and senior Ashley Charters.
In 2007, Tarr led the Huskies back to the Women's College World Series for the first time since 2004. Washington finished tied for third in the Pac-10 and went on to win the Lincoln, Nebraska regional before sweeping Alabama in the Super Regionals in Seattle to advance to the WCWS for the eighth time in school history.
The Huskies defeated DePaul, 3-1, to open the WCWS as sophomore All-American pitcher Danielle Lawrie pitched the 16th no-hitter in WCWS history and the first since 2003. Washington followed that up by defeating Northwestern, 9-0, as Lawrie threw a one-hitter.
Washington then ran into eventual national champion Arizona and lost two games to the Wildcats to finish tied for third in the country.
The Huskies finished the season with a 42-19 record and had three players earn All-America honors. Lawrie and senior first baseman Dena Tyson both were named to the Louisville Slugger/NFCA First Team, while junior shortstop Ashley Charters was a second team selection.
The trio of players were also named to the WCWS All-Tournament team, marking the first UW players selected to the team since 2000, and earned All-Pacific Region honors. In addition, Charters, Lawrie, Tyson and three other UW players earned All-Pac-10 honors.
The Huskies tallied 14 wins over opponents ranked in the top-25, including a win on the road at No. 3 Arizona and a pair of wins over No. 2 Alabama in the Super Regionals. Washington also swept the season series with Oregon, which was ranked No. 10 during the two teams first matchup and No. 16 during the final two games, and picked up wins over No. 7 Arizona State, No. 8 Texas, No. 12 UCLA, No. 15/16 Stanford and No. 16 Oregon State. The Huskies also swept a pair of games from No. 6 LSU.
In 2006, Tarr and the Huskies swept through the Provo Regional as a No. 1 seed with tournament MVP Danielle Lawrie not allowing a run in three starts. The Huskies advanced to the Austin Super Regional where they fell to Cat Osterman's Texas Longhorns to just miss out on the WCWS berth.
Junior second baseman Dominique Lastrapes and sophomore utility Ashley Charters each earned third team All-America honors and five players received All-Pac-10 honors.
Washington finished the season with a 35-25 overall record and a No. 15 national ranking. The Huskies tallied 11 wins over opponents ranked in the top-25, including victories over No. 1 UCLA, No. 5 Oregon State and No. 5 Stanford.
In Tarr's first season at the UW, she led the Huskies to the Super Regional where they fell one game short of advancing to the WCWS. The Huskies' season came to an end when they lost a three-game series to eventual national champion Michigan in Ann Arbor and finished the year with a No. 14 national ranking.
Seven Huskies earned All-Pac-10 honors, including Kristen Rivera, who was named Co-Pac-10 Player of the Year. Rivera also became the Huskies' first-ever four-time All-American, earning first team honors as a catcher. Three Washington players earned All-Pacific Region honors and three were named to the Pac-10 All-Academic team for their successes in the classroom.
Before taking over the Washington program, Tarr had a six-year stint at Pacific, starting as an assistant coach before being promoted to associate head coach in April of 2004.
During her six seasons at Pacific, the Tigers posted a 232-124 (.652) overall record and 90-44 (.672) mark in the Big West Conference.
In 2004 Tarr guided the Tigers to a top-20 national batting average. In 2001, she and Pacific head coach Brian Kolze were named the 2001 NFCA West Region Coaching Staff of the Year after guiding the Tigers to within one win of the Women's College World Series and a No. 18 final national ranking. That team also finished the season with a .973 fielding percentage, ranking second-best in the country.
Tarr joined Pacific prior to the 1999 season after an outstanding career as a Husky. As a four-year letterwinner, Tarr helped lead the UW to a second place finish at the Women's College World Series in 1996 and a third place finish in 1997.
She earned various honors while playing softball at Washington. A three-year member of the Pac-10 All-Academic team from 1994-97, she was named to the Pac-10 All-Conference team from 1995-97 and the NFCA All-West Region team in 1996 and 1997. Tarr also worked at Washington as an undergraduate assistant coach during the 1998 season, helping the Huskies to a third-place finish at the 1998 Women's College World Series. In addition to her collegiate experience, Tarr brings experience from the professional level as she spent the summer of 1997 as a member of the Women's Professional Fastpitch Softball League's Tampa Bay Fire Stix. She was the league leader in fielding percentage for first basemen and also led the league in walks.
