Oregon tennis takes break
from hectic Pac-10 schedule
■ The men’s and women’s
tennis teams look to keep
momentum up against
West Coast schools
By Robbie McCallum
for the Emerald
As the month-long homestand
winds down for the Oregon
women’s tennis team, the men
make their first home appearance
of the season Sunday.
Both Oregon squads are heavily
favored in this weekend’s match
es. The No. 33 women take a
breather this weekend, playing
only one match against St. Mary’s
on Sunday. The No. 52 men also
play St. Mary’s, catching the Gaels
on a road trip to the Northwest. On
Saturday, Loyola Marymount, an
other West Coast Conference team,
comes to town.
Today, the men take on St.
Mary’s (2-6) at the Mountain Park
Recreation Center in Portland.
The home opener for the Ducks is
tomorrow at the Eugene Swim
and Tennis Club against Loyola
Marymount (0-6).
Oregon connection
The St. Mary’s men’s team has a
strong tie to Oregon tennis. The
Gaels’ coach
Michael Way
man signed
three Oregoni
ans last, year:
Josh Farley of
Wilsonville and
Deryk Inn and
Pat Fletchall of
Medford. This will provide Ore
gon’s Jason Menke, a Beaverton
native, some familiar competition.
Snubbed
Despite major upsets of nation
ally ranked opponents, senior cap
tains Guillermo Carter and Alina
Wygonowska were left off
Wednesday’s Intercollegiate Ten
nis Association rankings. Carter
upended Stanford’s 6th ranked
Geoff Abrams and then No. 30
Robert Kendrick of Pepperdine on
consecutive weekends.
Carter and freshman Leslie
Eisinga also knocked off the top
ranked doubles team of Abrams
and Alex Kim, 8-6.
Wygonowska sports a 13-8
record after an upset of No. 14
Alison Bradshv v of Arizona
State. A week earlier, Bradshaw
pulled off quite an upset of her
own, defeating San Diego’s top
ranked singles player.
Add rankings
Following impressive showings
against top-ranked teams, both the
men’s and women’s teams moved
up in the ITA teams polls this
week. The women went 2-1 last
weekend, highlighted by a hard
fought win against then No. 21
Arizona. The women earned their
highest ranking of the season at
No. 33. The men moved up in the
rankings eight places to claim the
53rd spot.

The road-show continues for softball in the Southwest
■ The softball team
hopes to take down
some tough competition
By Matt O’Neill
Oregon Daily Emerald
The Oregon softball team con
tinues its quest to reach the College
World Series with a stop in Las
Cruces, NM, over the weekend.
The team will take part in the New
Mexico State Tournament which
runs today through Sunday. .
The Ducks (7-3) face some seri
ous talent at the tournament, in
cluding a very good Florida team,
followed by Wichita State and
host New Mexico State. Oregon
will also see a familiar opponent
in Pacific-10 Conference foe No.
12 California. Head coach Rick
Gamez is well aware of the quality
of the other teams and he feels that
his team is ready.
“The competition is going to be
very good,” Gamez said. “We’ll
open up with Florida, who is 11-1
and is off to a great start, then we’ll
face Cal, who is 12-0 and off to
great start. So we’ll have to come
out and play aggressively on both
defense and offense.”
Gamez hopes his team continues
its recent power surge. The Ducks
have produced 74 runs in 10 games
and are batting a gaudy .348.
Junior Triawn Custer and senior
Jill Robinson have been two of the
bigger sparks for the Ducks’ offen
sive fire power. Custer sports a
.500 batting average with two
home runs and eight RBIs, while
Robinson began the season by go
ing 7 for 13 with two home runs.
Pitching will also be key to the
Ducks’success. Gamez, however,
is looking for a third quality
starter. He would like to see senior
Danielle Haag regain her form
from last season.
“We’ve got to get Danielle back
on track,” Gamez said. “We’re go
ing to need three pitchers to be
successful in this league.”
