EUGENE, Ore. -- University of Oregon head women’s soccer coach Tara Erickson announced Friday the addition of four newcomers to the program. The Ducks added transfer Lindsay Parlee, who is already enrolled and working out with the team, and await the arrival of prep players Achijah Berry, Brynne Konkel and Brittanie Sakajian who will join the squad in the fall of 2010.
