Oregon j- men s lacrosse club will haw its work cut out far it as it defends it s newly-won Northwest college
division championship.
By BUI SchaUer
Of the Emerald
Not every team opens their season with a champion
ship win. But the Oregon men's lacrosse club won a
mini-playoff meet against Lewis and Clark College and
the University of Washington last Saturday in Portland
that gave them the 1984 Pacific Northwest Lacrosse
Association's college divison championship after an ex
tended season which lasted over nine months.
When the three teams tied for first place with 7-1
records last year, league officials decided to break the
tie at the beginning of the 1985 season instead of at the
end of the 1984 season.
The Ducks lost to Lewis and Clark 6-5 in the first
match, then faced a do-or-die situation against
Washington. The Huskies had beaten Lewis and Clark
7-4 earlier in the day.
Oregon showed no sign of elimination pressure
when they took on Washington and beat them 8-1. That
gave the Ducks the league championship and the right to
represent the Northwest league at the prestigious
Western States Lacrosse Tournament in Stanford,
Calif., April 13-14.
Unlike the present team’s play, the history of the
lacrosse club has not been quite as consistent.
After having a strong season in 1973, the club went
into a tailspin, losing more games than it won. Finally,
the program itself was lost.
The team reorganized, and an evolution process
seemed to take place as the team began to win more
games. Rising from a 3-10 record in 1981 to last year’s
14-4 record, the team has steadily improved and become
one of the best college teams in the Northwest.
A game originally played by North American In
dians, lacrosse has changed from a no-rules competition
to the death into a controlled game of finesse.
There were numerous Indian names for the game,
but when European settlers in Canada noticed a
resemblencc between the sticks the natives used and a
bishop's staff called a "croisse” the game was then call
ed lacrosse — the stick.
The Indians played on huge fields in games that
would last for days. Today’s version of the game is
divided into IS-minute quarters and is played on a field
measuring 110 yards by 60 yards.
Oregon began claiming respect in the league when
it won the college division championship of the PNLA
Invitational Tournament in Portland last April.
After a first round loss to South Fraser, a Canadian
team, the Ducks went on to beat Washington, Whit
worth College, and Western Washington University in
the championship game..
Coming from behind to beat Western Washington
for the championship cup was special for the Ducks
because they won the college division of the largest
lacrosse tournament in the nation.
According to Andrew Moore, the club’s coach, the
team’s success is due to many different reasons. “The
success is partly to Jay Jollon, last year's coach, for in
stilling his good nature and experience into the team."
Also responsible for the club's winning is last year's
manager Dan Jensen. Moore says that Jenson’s strong
