The 39th-ranked Ducks lived up to expectations and earned their first wins of the season. The Ducks put Portland away on Friday and Idaho on Saturday by identical scores of 8-1. The two non-league wins evened Oregon’s overall record at 2-2. On Friday, the Ducks played their home opener at the Eugene Swim and Tennis Club. Oregon’s No. 1 player, Alina Wygonowska, lost a tough, three set match to Courtney Perkins, the Pilots’ No. 1 competitor. But besides that, it was ail Oregon. Freshman Monika Gieczys was impressive in a sweep of Port land’s Erin Smith, 6-0,6-0. Fresh man Jeanette Mattson won for the first time in a Duck uniform, de feating the Pilot’s Katy Smith in three sets, 7-5,2-6,6-3. All three doubles teams for Oregon won as well, led by Gieczys and junior Sarah Col istro’s 8-1 win over Portland’s Yenny Njoo and Jana Jusupovic. “We really fought hard [Satur day] and played well from top to bottom,” said head coach Jack Griffin in a press release. “If we keep doing that, we’re going to see some results. Every single person stepped it up in the third set and played well in the crunch time.” A shaky Idaho squad faced the Ducks on Saturday at the Willow Creek Racquet Club. It was the first match of the season for the Vandals, who had three players competing in their first college match. Some Idaho players were suffering from illness. Oregon clinched the contest early, sweeping every singles match in two sets. Sophomore Va lerie Young led the Ducks by dom inating Idaho’s Cameron Erickson, 6-0,6-0. Sophomores Adeline Arnaud and Katie Nyland both picked up their second wins of the home stand. Arnaud and Nyland also paired for two double match wins. The Vandal’s lone point came in doubles play. Pooja Deshmukh and Barbora Kudilkova narrowly defeated Wygonowska and Matt son, 8-5. Gieczys and Colistro fell behind early, but won six straight games to outlast Idaho’s Gloriano Serrano and Erickson. Gieczys is likely to be on the verge of earning a national rank ing after having a successful weekend coupled with an earlier defeat of Cali fornia’s 9th ranked, Amy Jensen. “We still are not running on all cylinders,” Griffin said, our ups-and downs right now and we can be a better team. There are still things we need to work on if our goal is to be a top-25 team. We need to play better to do that. Of course we won, which is a positive, but we need to keep working and hope things come together. “It’s early in the season for us, but if this continues, all the pieces will come together and we’ll be a good team,” Griffin said. The Ducks continue Pacific-10 conference play on Friday, Feb. 11, against-UCLA. The Bruins (3-1) are currently ranked 8th after be ing upset by No. 31 Arizona. UCLA is led by 66th ranked Sarah Walker and 85th ranked An nica Cooper. The duo of Petya Man nova and Walker are ranked 19th in the doubles competition. Action begins at 1:30 p.m. at the Willow Creek Racquet club. “We’re having 006358 Need committed and creative student volunteers to advise the University Health Center regarding programs, services, finances, and health insurance.
