Ducks set for weekend play
■ Both the men’s and
women’s teams are in
action against opponents
of varying levels
By Matt O’Neill
for the Emerald
The season begins in earnest
this weekend as both the men’s
and women’s tennis programs see
action.
The women kick-off Pacific-10
Conference play with two road
matches in the Bay Area. They’ll
face the No. 4 Bears of California
today and Stanford, the No. 1
team in nation, on Saturday.
According to
head coach Jack
Griffin, this
weekend’s ac
tion is going to
be a difficult, yet
good way for his
team to start the
Pac-10 season.
“Playing these two schools is
always going to be a tough way to
open the season,” Griffin said.
“But everything after this is going
to seem easier for us.”
While Griffin sees this season’s
squad as one of the best in school
history, the team must still play
its best tennis to compete with
both Bay Area programs.
“We are going to have compete
our butts off down there,” Griffin
said. “There are not going to be
many free points for us. We’re go
ing to have to play tough both
mentally and physically.”
While Griffin is aware of the
quality of the players that both
Stanford and Cal possess — the
Cardinal’s No. 1 singles player re
cently lost to Lindsey Davenport
in a closely contested match at
the Australian Open — he is not
concerned with his newcomers’
the lack of experience. Freshman
Monika Gieczys and Jeanette
Mattson are used to competing
against a high-caliber of competi
tion from having played in Eu
rope.
“Jeanette has definitely played
at this level before,” Griffin said.
“Playing Stanford and Cal won’t
be so amazing for her. She expects
this level all the time.”
Griffin is not sure what his sin
gles lineup will look like for the
two matches, but he is certain that
Mattson and Gieczys will join se
nior Alina Wygonowska in the
top three slots.
There will also be three dou
bles teams for the Ducks. Mattson
and Wygonowska will pair up,
while Gieczys will play with
Sarah Colistro and sophomore
Janice Nyland' will play with
freshman Amy Juppenlatz.
While the women travel to Cali
fornia, the men will head to Cor
vallis to compete in the Corvallis
Open. The tournament, which be
gins today and runs through Sun
day, will feature some of the best
players in the Northwest.
Because the tournament is an
open draw, the Ducks will find
themselves competing against op
ponents that could range from
older men to young teenagers,
something that head coach Chris
Russelldoes not see as a disadvan
tage for his team.
“Getting good matches is the
key for us right now,” Russell
said. “This tournament gives a
chance to put them in a scenario
where they can play a match that
matters.”

We are going to have
to compete our butts off

with only one singles player and
one doubles team seeded.
Guillermo Carter returns to ac
tion for Oregon as the No. 3 seed
in singles. He will pair up with
freshman Leslie Eisinga as the No.
3-doubles seed.
“It’s good to have a least one
seed, although I would have liked
to seen more,” Russell said.
“Some of our guys match the tal
ent that’s seeded ahead of them,
so that should give them confi
dence to beat some of them.”
Sophomore Thomas Schneiter
returns for Oregon as well. Along
with Carter, he took the fall sea
son off to play on his own.
Russell expects Schneiter to fall
right into place at the top of the
singles line-up.
“Both [Schneiter] and Memo
have played more high-caliber
matches in the fall than anybody
on the team,” Russell said. “So
they should be able to step right
in and compete at a high level.”
