Club: Volleyball team places third
■ Continued from Page 7
with open teams, losing twice, but
only by a combined three points.
The losses didn’t especially
faze the Ducks, though.
"WeTe pretty happy with
that,” team member Rachelle
Depner said. “It’s nice to play
competitive teams because the
teams we usually play aren’t that
competitive.
“Our whole team definitely
played really well and everyone
contributed.”
The Ducks return to action at
regionals, where they will hold
the anticipated second ranking in
a field which includes last year’s
national champion, Stanford, and
the national runner-up, the Uni
versity of British Columbia. With
a first or second place at regionals,
Oregon would be on its way to
Minnesota for the national cham
pionship tournament.
The Ducks have not faced Stan
ford yet this year, but they are ea
ger to have a chance to upset the
reigning champions.
“Last year they beat us,” Depn
er said. “They have a really good
team this year, but they lost four
or five of their top players. So
there’s definitely a window of op
portunity for other teams to come
through. WeTe looking forward to
meeting them at regionals.
Men’s ultimate trisbee
Going into the 19th annual
Henry Callahan Memorial Tour
nament, the Oregon Club Sports
men’s ultimate frisbee team had
high expectations.
Their play Saturday and Sun
day determined its seeding at the
regional tournament in Santa
Cruz, Calif., on May 9. Rivalries
with several college opponents
was extra incentive to play well.
Playing such an important tourna
ment at home seemed like the
perfect opportunity for Oregon to
advance to regionals and settle
some scores from earlier in the
season.
The Ducks did advance to re
gionals, but not as easily as they
had hoped. On Saturday, they
went 1-3 in their college section,
beating Reed College 13-5 but
coming up short against Washing
ton 13-7, Oregon State 13-9 and
eventual college winner Hum
boldt 13-7.
On Sunday, the Ducks went 1-1
against open teams, beat the Pack
woods from Portland 11-10 and lost
to Tribe, a Seattle-based team that
won the tournament final, 13-4.
Team member Steve McFar
land said two players who played
“really, spectacularly well” were
Alden Blaize and Ben Randall.
Because the Ducks were unable
to win as many games as they
would have liked, they will most
likely be a low seed at regionals
and will immediately have to face
one of the top two teams in the na
tion in Stanford or Santa Barbara.
Even if the Ducks do not ad
vance past the first rounds of re
gionals, they expect increasing
success in the future.
“Next year we’ll probably be
able to do it,” McFarland said.
“We’re losing five seniors, but we
have a good enough core to carry
us through.”
In the immediate future, Ore
gon will face Oregon State next
weekend in a dual meet at South
bank Field.
Men's water polo
Holding its own against some
of the top teams in the country,
the Oregon Club Sports men’s wa
ter polo team came away from its
weekend tournament in Austin,
Texas, with a 3-2 record.
Three of the Oregon’s five con
tests were decided by one goal
with the Ducks picking up victo
ries in two of those tight matches.
They beat Houston 13-12 and
Texas A&M 8-7 but were downed
by tournament host Texas 8-7.
The Ducks’ win over North
Texas in their first game of the
tournament was convincing, 16-3.
They finished on the other end of
the score when they faced a team
from Austin with several national
players on it’s roster, losing 19-7.
“We got to play a team with for
mer national players,” goalie Ben
Gottlieb said. “Players who are in
the top 1 percent in the world.
Even though we lost, we played
very well.”
Tod Spieker was the leading
scorer for the Ducks, and Gottlieb
had the most saves in what was
the first appearance ever for a
team from the West Coast in this
tournament.
“We set a precedent for Oregon
water polo,” said Gottlieb.
“We’re looking to go to nation
als because of this weekend,” said
coach Scott McCarty, who will
lead his team into the Clovis Mas
ters tournament in Fresno, Calif.,
on May 2 and 3. “It’s a collegiate
level tournament that will put us
on the national scene.”
Women's rugby
Arriving five minutes before a
women’s rugby game is supposed
to start is not recommended by
members of the Oregon Club
Sports women’s rugby team.
On Sunday against Lewis and
Clark, the Ducks not only came
late, but didn’t really begin to play
well until the second half before
finally losing their first game of
the year 12-5.
Captain Crystal Burreson said
the late arrival due to car failure
didn’t allow for the team to warm
up.
Taking advantage of the Ducks’
weaknesses, Lewis and Clark
jumped in front by two tries in the
first half. Oregon was only able to
counter with one try in the second
half, while holding Lewis and
Clark scoreless.
Burreson said the team played
much better than she expected,
especially for its first game but
added that the Ducks need to im
prove their passing before they
can earn their first victory.
Women’s volleyball
Fifth place out of 30 is not so
bad.
That’s what the Oregon Club
Sports women’s volleyball team
came away with at the National
Intramural Recreation Sports As
sociation (NIRSA) Collegiate
Sports Club Championships in
Austin, Texas, late last week.
The Ducks went undefeated in
pool play, coming up with con
vincing wins over East Carolina,
Kentucky, Massachusetts and
Michigan State. They then went
into bracket play ranked third out
of the 30 participating teams and
handled the Colorado State Buf
faloes before losing in straight sets
to the Texas A&M Aggies.
“It was practically a home game
for them. It was (heir court, they
had their own crowd, they came
in with confidence, and ours pret
ty much died during the game
and that was the end of the tour
nament,” said Oregon’s Donna
Goode.
The first game looked to be a
given for the Longhorns as mis
communication killed the Ducks.
The second set saw Oregon
play a solid game as it was neck
and neck with Texas A&M up un
til the fourth point. Frustration
got the better of the Ducks though,
as the Longhorns eventually fin
ished them off.
“It wasn’t that people were
playing bad, it was just that you
shank a pass and you get mad at
yourself,” Goode said. “We pretty
much got spanked.
“It didn’t make for such a fun
day for us because playing the
way we did — extremely well —
we turned a lot of heads. But then
to go into bracket play and to lose
playing the way we did didn’t feel
so good."
Colorado went on to successful
ly defend its title as the Buffaloes
pounded Florida in the tourna
ment’s final.
Up next for the Ducks are re
gional on May 3, when they will
go up against Pacific University.
