Ice hockey team heads north The Oregon Club team hopes to secure a Pac-8 tournament spot by sweeping the Cougars By Brett Williams lor the Emerald In its final Pacific-8 Conference games of the season, the Oregon Club ice hockey team travels to Pullman, Wash., this weekend for a critical doubleheader. Oregon (12-4-1) needs a sweep over the Cougars to secure a spot in the Pac-8 tournament next month. But the Ducks will have to achieve this without a number of key players. Team captain Ari Friedman, who sat out two games in Ore gon’s wins over Washington last weekend, is suspended for one more game for smashing a UCLA player with his helmet two weeks ago. Oregon’s most valuable play er from last weekend, Peter Har ris, as well as forward Thomas Mele, will also miss the trip to concentrate on studies. Despite the loss of these key players, Oregon would have to be considered a heavy favorite after sweeping this same Washington State team earlier this season. "We need to come out pre pared,” forward Tyler Shaffar said. "We can only beat ourselves against Washington State.” The Cougars had their fair share of difficulty last weekend against Southern California. The Trojans ran Washington State out of the rink with an embarrassing 13-2 victory. “They [the Cougars] lack a lot of experience,” said Shaffar of the freshman dominated squad. “With Jeff [Mcgillis] back in the lineup, we should definitely win both games this weekend.” Oregon is currently ranked fifth in the ACHA standings behind Weber State, Colorado State, San Jose State, and Pac-8 front runner UCLA. The ACHA draws the top four teams for its national tourna ment after the Pac-8 tournament. Oregon will probably need to win the rest of its games and have some luck to earn a bid to nation als. Women Continued from Page 7 “Now that Washington State was successful with their press against us, other teams are going to press us like crazy,” Bowyer said. Added Runge, "It’s a good thing it happened to us when it did and not when we were on the road where we had to dig ourselves out of a hole.” Oregon is in a different situation this season from the last time it was in this situation three years ago. This season the Ducks are vying for a Pac-10 cham pionship, rather than trying to finish in the top five and go to the tournament. With UCLA undefeated in conference play so far, and Oregon just one game back, a win tonight is crucial. “1 don’t know if we’re better than we were the last time we were ranked,” Strange said. "But we’re winning the games we have to win.” Wrestling Continued from Page 7 “I generally don’t even think about it, until ... basically ever,” Sonnen said about competing. “I just show up and as soon as the ref says ‘go,’ I’m ready to fight, and when he says ‘stop,’ I’m done. That’s it. I don’t get fired up, I don’t focus, I don’t do any mental work at all to prepare. I just show up and I’m ready. Bruce Lee once said, “Having no way is a way.’ That’s generally how I approach it.” A winless victory After the Ducks’ one-point loss to the Beavers on Jan. 16, the players huddled for a brief moment amid the noise inside Gill Coliseum in Corvallis. When asked what was said during the huddle, Sonnen said the team had been very happy with the way it performed, despite that Oregon State dropped the Ducks’ record to 3-3. “We lost the dual because we had to forfeit and we gave up bonus points. But across the board for guys who did compete, we beat them pretty good," Sonnen said. “We talked about how it felt good to win, and we felt we deserved it because we worked really hard preparing for that match. “A lot of the time you work really hard and it doesn’t pay off. This time we worked really hard and it paid off, and that’s kind of all we said.” Scott Pesznecker is a sports reporter for the Emerald.
