Men's tennis team splits two-match homestand CHAD PATTESON/Emerald No. 1 singles player Oougal Williams earned the Ducks’ only singles vic tory Sunday with a 6-2,6-4 win over Cory Guy of UC Santa Barbara. ■ WEEKEND: Oregon defeats Portland 7-0 Friday, but loses to UC Santa Barbara 5-2 Sunday By Joel Hood Freelance Sports Reporter In its final homestand of the season, the Oregon men’s tennis team split a pair of non-conference matches over the weekend. The Ducks earned a 7-0 win over Portland Friday, then suf fered a 5-2 loss to UC Santa Bar bara Sunday. The men’s team (3-4 overall, 0-3 in Pacific-10 Conference) evened its dual-match record Friday with the commanding 7-0 win, but saw its .500 record slip away as they were nearly swept by UC Santa Barbara in singles’ play Sunday. “We played real well at the start of both matches but seemed to lose our aggressiveness toward the end,” head coach Chris Russell said. “I think we have yet to estab lish ourselves but I can see that we are on the right track. ” Oregon got off two a quick start Sunday taking two of three dou bles’ matches from UC Santa Bar bara, but saw the momentum shift when freshman Joaquin Hamdan went down with a severely sprained ankle in the No. 3 singles TENNIS spot. Hamdan’s injury negated the Ducks’ early advantage in doubles and evened the team totals at one win -1 apiece. Oregon’s only singles’ victory came at the No. 1 position where Dougal Williams continued to play well with a 6-2, 6-4 win over the Gauchos Cory Guy. However, the Ducks were unable to follow Williams’ lead as they suffered losses at the No. 3,4,5 and 6 spots. “We opened real strong,” Rus sell said. “We had solid play from Williams and Carlos Navarro but we couldn’t keep in front of them. We didn’t stay with what had got ten us the early lead. ” Navarro, a sophomore from La Paz, Bolivia, lost a hard-fought duel with UC Santa Barbara’s Ross Duncan. The 21/2 hour match seemed to epitomize the Ducks’ fortunes verses UC Santa Barbara. Navarro, who seemed to be in control of the match after a 6-3 victory in the first set, went on to lose the next two sets and the match. Next for the men’s team is two weeks of practice before it travels to Stanford on March 4. The women’s team (2-1, 1-1) lost in its chance to knock off one of the nation’s best, Stanford.
