Ultimate men claim tourney 1
■ The men’s ultimate frisbee
team cruises to first place at
a tournament in California’
By Nick Haselwander
lor the Emerald
One tournament, one first-place
finish. Not a bad start for the Ore
gon Club Sports men’s ultimate
frisbee team.
The team competed in the Sean
Ryan Invitational against teams
from all the West Coast in Santa
Cruz, Calif., last weekend and
came out on top with relative
ease.
According to Ben Wiggins, the
team’s toughest game came in the
quarterfinals against Stanford.
The Ducks made a 9-8 lead hold
up with four unanswered points
for the 13-8 victory.
As for the rest, well, “We pretty
much rolled,” Wiggins said.
The Ducks outscored their op
ponents 72-24 while going 6-0.
“It’s a
good start,”
Wiggins
said, “but it
doesn’t
mean any
thing yet.”
The real test — when tourna
ments figure into a team’s nation
al ranking — doesn’t commence
until February. As a result, Ore
gon is approaching the present as
an opportunity to prepare for a na
tional tournament qualifying
push in the spring.
“It’s a long season and we can’t
get too caught up in this win, but
if nothing else, it’s encouraging,”
junior Joshua Greenough said.
“This was the first time all the
West Coast teams have seen each
other. It’s not nearly enough to tell
where we stand, though.”
The Ducks take the field again
this weekend when they host a
16-team event. While the team is
uncertain where it will be playing
— Greenough said it is still hag
gling with the city for fields — it
is sure that it will be a good op
portunity to see some new talent.
Greenough estimates that about
40 players will be suiting up for
the three separate Oregon teams.
“We want to get everyone in
our young program a chance to
play,” Wiggins said.
Teams are participating from
throughout the Northwest.
Basketball
Continued from Page 11A
maining, and it is rumored that they are among the fi
nalists in the running for top-rated recruit Luke Rid
nour of Blaine, Wash., a guard.
“I would hope that we can get it filled here in the
next 48 hours,” Kent said. “If it happens, it’s gonna
give us just an unbelievable recruiting class. If it does
n’t happen, then we have one spot we can go after in
the spring.”
Jackson’s signing is particularly important, accord
ing to Kent, because he is a local star.
“We’ve set out from day one to recruit the best tal
ent in the state,” Kent said. “[Jackson’s signing] gives
us an opportunity to continue to build this program
around players that are in-state here — Freddie Jones,
David Jackson and now Luke Jackson. And obviously,
Luke is another one of those players of the caliber that
can get this program to where we want to reach.”
Jackson’s rare combination of size and perimeter
skill has Kent eagerly anticipating the kind of big line
up he can put together with Jackson at small forward.
“He is really gonna cause match-up problems for
other teams out on that perimeter,” Kent said. “He
works extremely hard; he has great heart. The most
important thing he brings to this program is his out
standing character.”
Despite his diminutive size, Davis is billed as a
shooting guard for Oregon.
“I really don’t worry about size when I look at play
ers because if you can get the job done, that’s the bot
tom line,” Kent said. “Here’s a 5-11 guy that is an un
believable shooter, that can dump the ball. He has
great athleticism.
“He has an opportunity, I think, to be the best pure
shooter in the history of Oregon basketball.”
When he saw Anderson play during the summer,
Kent said he “liked Jay instantly.”
“The things that I liked about him were that he was
a big man that had a very nice touch around the buck
et,” Kent said. ‘He has unbelievable ball skills for a guy
with that kind of size, and he can really shoot from the
perimeter.”
On the women’s side, Ducks head coach Jody
Runge announced the signing of Cathrine Kraaveveld,
a 6-3 post from Kirkland, Wash.
“Her size, coupled with her ability to play outside,
will allow us to utilize her in many ways,” Runge said.
