Arriaga
Continued from Page 7A
a team-leading 19 wins — each of
which he has announced to his
teammates with a heartfelt shout
of “Go Ducks!”
Those 19 victories put him
into Oregon’s all-time top-10.
And his next win will be the
45th of his career, moving him
into Oregon’s top-10 in that cate
gory.
“At the beginning I wasn’t
aware of the records,” Arriaga
said. “But with the schedule we
play, to have more than 18 wins
in a season is tough.”
Arriaga has earned almost all
of those wins in the No. 6 posi
tion of the Ducks’ lineup, where
he may possibly be the toughest
player in the nation, Russell said.
“In every school we played
this year — including UCLA and
Stanford, who where No. 1 at the
time — we felt like we could win
at No. 6 with him in the lineup,”
Russell said. “And that created a
feeling that we can win against
anyone.”
Although Arriaga lost his sin
gles matches against Stanford
and UCLA, those defeats were
two of only four this spring.
“He totally deserves” his suc
cess, Navarro said. “Probably
more than anyone.”
Arriaga is not only on top of
his game on the court. His hard
work has paid off in the class
room as well.
Arriaga credits Footnotes for
his academic survival during his
freshman year, but he now holds
a 3.7 grade point average and
will soon graduate with honors
in geology with a minor in busi
ness.
“There’s this quote I like,” Ar
riaga said. “’The harder you
work, the luckier you get.’”
But it isn’t luck that deserves
the credit for Arriaga’s achieve
ments.
Rather, especially when he’s
with racket in hand, it’s Arriaga’s
diligence and intellect that have
enabled him to develop such a
successful style of play.
Growing up in Toluca,, the
highest city in Mexico at 10,000
feet, Arriaga dealt with thf alti
tude by developing a game that
was based more on strategy than
strength. But since being a Duck,
Arriaga has added a touch of
power to his arsenal, as well.
“He’s found a way to blend his
craftiness and his acquired phys
ical strength to be successful,”
Russell said. “He’s not just fin
ishing points with his finesse
and his touch, but he’s also able
to put an exclamation point on
them.”
Arriaga’s methods for im
provement haven’t been lost on
his teammates.
“He’s such a hard worker,” ju
nior Joaquin Hamdan said, “so
he always finds a way to win. He
has the best touch, the best volley
and the best hands on the team,
and I’ve learned a lot from him.
Miguel has showed me about
maturity.”
Within the next four years, Ar
riaga promises, the Ducks will be
consistently ranked in the top 20.
If it happens, his “Go Ducks”
mentality will have played a sig
nificant role in the program’s de
velopment.
“There’s nothing greater as a
coach then to hear him finish his
match and yell out ‘Go Ducks!”’
Russell said. “That in itself is
something that is part of our
process, having that passion,
wanting to win so badly for your
university.
“It’s been wonderful.”
