PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland State has been picked to repeat as Pacific Coast Softball Conference champions in 2010, according to a vote of the league's 12 head coaches.

The Vikings were the unanimous choice to win the Mountain Division, while Sacramento State was selected to win the Coastal Division in the inaugural year of division play. The PCSC has expanded from six to 12 teams this year, and split into two divisions.

Portland State received all 12 first place votes in the Mountain Division and also got nine of 12 votes to win the first-ever PCSC Championship Series.

Ranked in the top 25 in most polls and high as 10th in one pre-season poll–the Beavers return more starters from last year’s regional qualifying team than any team since their last trip to Omaha–can they return this year? The bar has been raised–nothing short of deep into the post season is where OSU expects to go. Home opener is early this year and a big national series for the Beavs on February 26-28 with Tennessee coming to Corvallis. Pac-10 play opens at USC on April 1st.

OregonPrepSports.net is "Oregon's High School Sports Source". It is a very informative site with schedules, scores, standings and more for H.S. sports in Oregon.

What does it stand for?: Win Probability Added.
As Hardball Times's Dave Studeman has written, it's gone by a lot of different names. "Player Win Averages," "Player Game Percentage," "Win Expectancy," "Player's Win Value," etc. But WPA is the the most common name for it these days.

How to calculate WPA: Though the arithmetic can be a mother, Win Probability Added is one of the easiest of all the advanced stats to explain. Put simply, it's a measure of how much any game event contributes to the eventual outcome of the game, win or loss.
