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.

“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

“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.”
