NORMAN — Mariee Mena, who helped Oklahoma earn two Women’s College World Series berths, died Tuesday as a result of injuries she suffered in a motorcycle accident Friday evening.
Mena was a 2004 second-team All-Big 12 outfielder and a member of OU’s 2007 Big 12 championship squad. She suffered severe head injuries in Friday’s accident, which occurred in Norman, and was on life-support until Tuesday. The 26-year old, who was from Escondido, Calif., was an organ and tissue donor.
A fund to assist in funeral and medical expenses has been established for Mena. Donations can be mailed to University of Oklahoma Athletics Development at 180 West Brooks, Suite 3575, Norman, OK 73019. Please make checks payable to the OU Foundation and reference Mariee Mena.
