Tennis: Injuries devastate women m uummueu iruiii rage / When we started this year, we were around there, too, and we were able to get up to 55 this year, and we qualified for regionals. So, yeah, since I’ve been here, the program has gotten only better and better.” Oregon loses only one senior, Jeff Thomsen, heading into next season, but Kergroach, a junior, is also departing to return to his na tive Paris for personal reasons. The loss of Kergroach (20-10), who is ranked No. 52 in the Rolex Col legiate Tennis Rankings, will be a big one for the Ducks, Russell said. “He’s really been a wonderful addition to what we’ve tried to do here,” Russell said. “He’s helped raise our level as a program.” Among the returning players for Oregon will be Navarro (11 17), who played No. 3 singles and No. 2 doubles, and Guillermo Carter (14-16), who played No. 2 singles and No. 1 doubles with Kergroach. Noting the Ducks’ winless record against league competi tion, Navarro said the team plans to make its mark in conference play next season. “This year we competed very close with all.the Pac-10 schools we played,” Navarro said. “Next year we want to beat them; we want to get more wins.” Although the women’s team (4 16 overall, 0-8 Pac-10) was not able to repeat its 1997 trip to the NCAA Regional Championships, head coach Jack Griffin said he was impressed with his team’s re siliency despite a rash of injuries NICK MEDLEY/Emerald Guillermo Carter is the top can didate for the No. 1 singles posi tion next season. that forced it to juggle its lineup all season. In fact, Oregon was never able to play its original starting lineup in a dual match. “I think it’s about as tough a season as you can go through as far as with injuries,” Griffin said. “I mean we made it through, and we didn’t have unbelievable re sults, but we stayed together. And I think we’re close as a team, and we’re all on the same page of where we’re going. I think we’ve developed a little character.” Next season, Griffin said he ex pects a different storyline for the Ducks. As opposed to this season, when Oregon consistently played two walk-ons, Griffin said he will have eight players on scholarship next season. He said he counts on intense battles for spots on the traveling team. Team captain Allison Sosnow, who had 48 career singles and 36 career doubles wins, is the lone scholarship Duck who will not re turn. Griffin and VVygonowska both said Sosnow’s leadership and play will be sorely missed. “She's not a player I recruited, but she’s a player that I would have liked to have had on my team anywhere that I’ve coached,” Griffin said. "It’s tough for her to leave, but I think she understands she has an impact on the progress this pro gram is going to make in the years to come.” Wygonowska (18-17), ranked No. 50, will lead Oregon from the No. 1 singles position again next season, joining five other return ing lettermen and at least three ex pected recruits. Sosnow said she expects the team to use this frustrating season as a learning experience. “I kind of saw how over the four years the team really pro gressed, and the level [of play] stepped up,” Sosnow said. “Let’s just say, it couldn’t be any worse than it was this year. “I think people are just looking forward to having a good year and a healthy year,” NICK MEDLEY/Emerald Sophomore Alina Wygotiowska led the ivomen's team from the No. 1 singles position with an 18-17 record. Michael Jordan awarded fifth Most Valuable Player award Kareem Abdul-Jabbar bolds the record for MVP awards with six By Chris Sheridan The Associated Press NORTHBROOK, 01. — Michael Jordan won his fifth Most Valu able Player award Monday, beat ing out Karl Malone and moving within one of the record set by Ka reem Abdul-Jabbar. Jordan, trying to lead the Chica go Bulls to a sixth title this decade, accepted the trophy at a suburban hotel not far from his team’s practice facility. He received 1,084 points to 842 for Malone, last year’s surprise winner, from a panel of sports writers and broadcasters who cov er the league’s 29 teams. Jordan got 92 first-place votes to 20 for the Utah Jazz forward. “This accolade will not be cher ished until I have a sixth champi onship,” Jordan said. Jordan previously won the award in 1988, 1991, 1992 and 1996, and would have a chance to match Abdul-Jabbar’s mark if he stays in basketball. Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics is the only other JORDAN I five-time win 1 ner' Russell : presented Jor dan with the I award today. Jordan led the league in scoring for the 10th time, - although his 28.7 average was ms lowest since ms second year in the league. He also had some of his worst career numbers in shooting per centage (46.5), free throw percent age (78.4), rebounds (5.8) and as sists (3.5), but the voters reward ed him for leading the Bulls to a 82-20 record — tied with Utah for the best in the league — despite the absence of teammate Scottie Pippen for 35 games after under going foot surgery. Gary Payton of Seattle was third with three first-place votes and 431 points. Shaquiile O'Neal of the Los Angeles Lakers finished fourth with 311 points, including the other first-place vote. The Bulls lead the Indiana Pac ers 1-0 in the Eastern Conference final, with Game 2 tonight.
