COREVALLIS, Ore. – Cal State San Marcos head softball coach Stef Ewing was a member of the first team in Oregon State softball history to advance to the NCAA Division I Women's College World Series. The historic 2006 softball squad was inducted as part of the school's 2023 Athletic Hall of Fame class this month.

The hall of fame induction ceremony took place on Nov. 10 in the Toyota Club level of Reser Stadium. The 2023 Hall of Fame Class was also recognized on the field during the Oregon State-Stanford football game on Nov. 11 at Reser Stadium.

The 2006 Oregon State team featured two All-Americans, six All-Pac-10 honorees and five all-region (Ewing included) selections. The Beavers finished the season with a 43-16 overall record.

The Beavers reeled off a 28-game winning streak during the 2006 season and posted 17 wins over ranked opponents.

Under the direction of former head coach Kirk Walker, Oregon State opened NCAA Tournament play as the host of the Corvallis Regional. The Beavers defeated Nevada and then beat Baylor twice to advance to the Super Regional.

Staying at home, the Beavers hosted the Super Regional against California. The Golden Bears won the opening game of the Super Regional, but Oregon State bounced back to defeat Cal twice to earn the school's first-ever trip to the Women's College World Series.

At the WCWS, the Beavers lost to Pac-10 foes Arizona and Arizona State.
