Oregon tennis gives
LA. teams a scare
■ The women’s tennis
team performs admirably
against tough competition
By Robbie McCallum
for the Emerald
They were pushed to the brink
of defeat. But in the end, the Los
Angeles-area schools were too tal
ented for the Oregon women’s ten
nis team. The Ducks put forth their
best efforts of the season but fell to
UCLA and Southern California.
The Ducks were in a hole early
as No. 8 UCLA’s (3-2) top two play
ers beat Oregon’s Alina
Wygonowska and Monika Gieczys
in straight sets.
The Ducks earned their first
point when the Bruins’ Zana Zleb
nick retired in her match against
sophomore Adeline Arnaud. Ore
gon and UCLA continued to ex
change blows, as sophomore
Sarah Colistro dominated Jennifer
Donahue 6-0,6-0.
The pressure fell on sophomore
Janice Nyland. The Duck lost a
tough opening set to Elizibeth
Schmidt, 5-7 but stormed back to
take the second set, 6-4. With the
entire Oregon squad rallying beside
her, Nyland disposed of Schmidt, 6
1, and she tied the contest, 3-3.
Doubles matches were the
Ducks’ downfall, as UCLA won
two of the three.
Oregon had
to forget the 5-4
loss and focus
on Saturday’s
opponent: No.
12 Southern
California.
Four Ducks
played three-set matches that came
down to the final point. But the
Women of Troy won three of the
four to clinch the victory. Geiczys
lost a heartbreaking three-set match
to No. 4 Jewel Peterson. Colistro fell
to No. 71 Anita Loyola. Valerie
Young lost to Tiffany Brymer.
Senior Alina Wygonowska
earned the Ducks’ lone singles win.
After losing the first set,
Wygonowska won 6-1,7-6(3).
Ducks come up short
■ Streaky Oregon jumps
- out to 3-0 lead, but the
* Wave takes the rest
By Robbie McCallum
for the Emerald
After starting the contest with
three wins, the Oregon men’s ten
nis team was thinking upset
against No. 8 Pepperdine in Mal
ibu, Calif. Unfortunately, the
Waves had other plans.
Senior Guillermo Carter and
sophomore Thomas Schneiter
both put away their higher
ranked opponents in straight sets.
- Freshman Oded Teig had to
come from behind but came out
. on top in a three-set win over the
„ Waves’ Chase Exon, 4-6, 7-5,6-2.
From then on, it was all Pep
perdine. The Waves tied the con
test with three wins in the re
maining singles matches. Senior
Joaquin Hamdan, junior David
Becker and freshman Leslie
Eisinga all lost to Pepperdine op
ponents.
The Waves clinched the match
and ended upset hopes in doubles
play. Pepper
dine’s third
ranked tandem
of Sebastian
Graeff and An
thony Ross put
away Carter and
Eisinga, 8-5. The
Waves clinched the doubles por
tion when Robert Kendrick and
John Hui defeated Teig and
Schneiter, 8-2.
“We were in a position to win
the match,” said Oregon head
coach Chris Russell in a press re
lease. “It was a heck of an effort.”
The Ducks were scheduled to
play UC Santa Barbara on Sun
day. Results were unavailable.
