UO men, women try to rebound
The teams will greatly
benefit from winning
high-profile matches
By Mirjam Swanson
lor the Emerald
Both the Oregon men’s and
women’s tennis teams will be in
action this weekend as they look
to rebound from last week’s losses
to ranked teams.
The women travel north to face
the Washington schools in non-con
ference matches on Friday and Sun
day, while the men will face No. 31
UC Santa Barbara in their second
match of a four-game home stand.
The men’s match, at noon on
Sunday at the Eugene Swim and
Tennis Club, will give the Ducks
yet another chance to knock off a
perennially successful program.
Team members say they think
they can beat high-caliber teams,
and a win this weekend could
prove it. The Ducks narrowly lost
to No. 24 California and No. 28
San Diego State, and they played
tough against No. 18 Washington
on Saturday.
They are eager to come up on
the winning end of a close contest,
head coach Chris Russell said.
“Our energy level is good,” he
said. “Our guys are very motivated
to turn the corner after having a lot
of close results.”
A win would
I attract attention
to the Ducks’
improved play.
Ana tnat could
help lift their
national rank
ing, which was
one of the
team’s goals going into the season.
“It would be a big step forward
for us,” Russell said. “It would be
our biggest win to date, as far as a
national ranking.”
Beating Santa Barbara for that
elusive high-profile win would be
especially satisfying for Oregon.
Last season, the Gauchos swept
the Ducks in their first NCAA Re
gional appearance. The Ducks
are hoping to exact revenge on the
program where their head coach
both played and coached before
he arrived at Oregon.
“I’ve logged a lot of hours at
UCSB,” Russell said. “So it’s kind
of nostalgic in a lot of ways.
“But they’ve beaten on us for the
last four years, so it’s not so nostal
gic any more. I respect what they’ve
achieved, but we’ve paid our dues.
We could see a good result. ”
Both Washington and Washing
ton State beat on an injury-riddled
Oregon women’s squad last season.
The women are also looking to
avenge last season’s losses.
Already, Oregon (5-3) has
recorded more wins than it did all
of last season.
Individually, freshman Adeline
Arnaud has become a leader for
the Ducks. She heads into this
weekend with an 11-5 record as
Oregon’s No. 2 singles player.
The Ducks face No. 52 Wash
ington State (2-4) today, and No.
42 Washington (8-2) Sunday.
The Cougars and the Huskies
have recorded impressive wins
this season, including wins over
No. 29 New Mexico.
Sports Brief
Ducks on their way
to Easton Showcase
Rather than snowflakes, the
Oregon softball team should find
only softballs dropping out of the
sky this weekend at the Easton
Showcase in Fullerton, Calif.
The No. 15 Ducks (11-5) are
looking to add to an impressive
streak of nine wins in their last 11
games since starting the season 2-3.
After sweeping Loyola Mary
mount and claiming the Matador
r
Invitational title in Northridge,
Calif., last weekend, Oregon has
moved up 10 spots in the USA To
day softball poll heading into its
fourth tournament of the young
season. The new ranking repre
sents the highest the Ducks have
been since head coach Rick Gamez
was hired three seasons ago.
Today, Oregon will meet Santa
Clara at 10 a.m. and Northwestern
at 2 p.m. to get the weekend start
ed.
On Saturday, the Ducks battle
Illinois State at 10 a.m. and Cal
State-Fullerton, the tournament’s
host, at noon. On Sunday, Oregon
concludes the tournament with
games against Auburn at 9 a.m.
and Pacific at 1 p.m.
It has not taken freshman Mis
sy Coe long to adjust to NCAA Di
vision I-A softball from her high
school days in Medford. Coe
leads the team with a .500 batting
average, including eight doubles,
and she has struck out just three
times in 48 at bats.
