more losses than any team in Oregon basket

Attendance is way down the lowest it's

hollowing five intense
months of hotkey, the Cold
Duc ks, V. at home and 0 10
overall, are eager to close out
the veer with a couple of solid
games and then let spring break
ai t as a remedy for their at lung
bodies
In a year that has seen most
Oregon sports teams riddled
with injuries, the club hotkey
team has found little shelter
frwin the plague of wounded
competitors
Although the Cold Ducks
have been fortunate enough to
avoid any serious injuries,
nearly every skater is hampered
by some physical discomfort
going into the Ducks' final se
ries
We only have three guvs
rigid now that are injury-free,"
said team captain St ott Brow n
U.dnesdav The list of pain
grew Thursday, when wing
Tom Lerra pulled up lame dur
ing practice Lerra, is ho is ex
periencing pain when try ing to
push oil his left leg, is listed as
questionable for the weekend
Because of a lack of funds,
the Colli Dm ks yvill not com
pete m any playoffs tins year,
leaving the team's lour seniors
goalie John O'Dimni'il, wing
Mike Mi Hugh, center Ned
While .mil Lorr.i with two
g,mu's to play at the collegiate
level
We'd like to end (the season
and their collegiate careers) on
.i good note,” Drown said
Hut pluvmg (lon/.uga will he
no leisurely skate in the park
lor thi' home team The Ducks
learned that lesson last year
when (lon/aga stole two games
on Oregon's home ice, both by
the score ol -Til
The two teams didn't meet in
Seattle as expected earlier this
year Washington didn't invite
(lon/.uga to its weekend tourna
ment in January because of the
bloody ruckus that followed
the Huskies' sound beating of
the Dulldogs in their last (oil
iest
,\ Washington player was re
portedly sent to the hospital af

Jumped him in Ins own penally
box Tho brawl was started af
ter ttie Huskies had put the
game out of reach.
During the post-game hand
shakes with tile Huskies two
weeks ago, the Ducks were
warned of the potentially fero
cious nature of their final oppo
nent
As ! was going through the
(post-game) line, a couple of
Washington players said 'watch
vour back against (lon/aga." '
defenseman Murk Liebert said
after the Ducks split the week
