UO softball team
cools off in desert
■ Oregon’s usually stellar
offense slumps at the Troy
Cox Classic in New Mexico
By Matt O’Neill
Oregon Daily Emerald
The bats cooled off in the
desert.
Oregon softball saw a drop-off
in run production at the Troy
Cox Classic in Las Cruces, NM.
With the exception of catcher
Missy Coe, the Ducks couldn’t
find die stroke they exhibited in
both Texas and Nevada during
the past two weekends.
Coe, a sophomore, hit five
home runs and was named to the
all-tournament team.
The Ducks dropped their first
contest to Florida, 5-2. The
Gators were led by a pair of home
runs: Nicole Kriepl hit a solo
homer in the top of the fourth,
while Jennifer Lutsi hit a two-run
job to cap the scoring.
The Ducks were led by Jill
Robinson’s and Lindsey Welch
home’s runs.
Oregon then bounced back to
pummel Wichita State, 13-0. The
Ducks were carried by Coe’s
three home runs, giving her four
on the season.
In the second day of competi
tion, the Ducks were trounced
twice. They fell to No. 6 Califor
nia and New Mexico State by the
scores of 12-1 and 5-1, respec
tively.
Lisa Lanci and Veronica Nel
son led the Bears with three
homers between them. Coe
scored the Ducks only run on her
fifth home run of the season.
The Ducks
w'ere also
beaten in
their second
game of the
day by host
New Mexico
State. The
Roadrunners cruised to a 5-1 win
after jumping to a 4-0 lead on a
grand slam by Christine Stevens.
Sunday Oregon faced Texas
Tech in the morning, beating the
Red Raiders, 3-1. Then in the af
ternoon’s consolation semifinal
game, the Ducks lost to Illinois
Chicago.
Oregon battled hard before
falling to 6-5. Coe, Robinson, and
Holly Ray all homered.
Ducks pick up momentum at home
■ The Oregon tennis
teams close out winter
with dominating non
conference wins
By Robbie McCallum
for the Emerald
With two convincing wins, the
Oregon men’s tennis team
moved one game above the .500
mark.
The Ducks easily defeated Big
West opponents St. Mary’s and
Loyola Marymount on Saturday
and Sunday. The nonconference
wins give Oregon a 5-4 record
heading into spring break.
On Saturday, No. 51 Oregon
caught St. Mary’s on a road trip
through the Northwest. The
match was played at Portland’s
Mountain Park Recreation Cen
ter. The Gaels (2-6) proved to be
no match for the Ducks, as Ore
gon won every match.
Freshmen Oded Teig and Ja
son Menke were both impressive
as each gave up only one game
in straight-set wins. Senior
Guillermo Carter and freshman
Leslie Eisinga improved their
doubles record to 4-3 as they de
feated the Gaels’ Richard
Thompson and Rex Calaunan, 8
3.
The closest St. Mary’s got to a
win was a three-set match be
tween Arturo Pianelle and Eisin
ga. The first two matches were
split, but Pianelle retired after an
injury.
On Sunday, the Ducks re
ceived more of a challenge from
winless Loyola Marymount, but
Oregon prevailed, 6-1.
“It’s always nice to play one at
home with some friends watch
ing,” head coach Chris Russell
said.
“These were
matches that
get the guys
some confi
dence and
make the guys
feel good.”
The Lions’
Carsten Eisenbarth and Oregon
sophomore Thomas Schneiter
provided the most exciting
match of the weekend as the two
battled for three sets. Eisenbarth
prevailed in a tight finish, giving
Loyola Marymount its lone
point.
The men take a breather after
concluding the first portion of
the season. Their next match
will be a nonconference contest
at Cal Poly-SLO in three weeks.
“I think we’re performing
well,” Russell said. “I would say
( 4 / would say that our
progress report is a ‘B’—
with the prospect of get
ting a lot better.
Chri$ Russell
head coach
that our progress report is a ‘B’
— with the prospect of getting a
lot better.”
The Oregon women also were
in action this weekend. Oregon
evened its season record at 4-4
with a dominating 8-0 win over
St. Mary’s.
The match utilized a new In
tercollegiate Tennis Associa
tion’s experimental format. Un
der the format, two points are
awarded if a team sweeps all
three doubles matches.
Doubles are then followed by
six singles matches. If a match
splits sets, a ten-point tiebreaker
is played instead of a third set.
The win gave the Ducks some
much-needed momentum for
next weekend’s matches against
the Washington schools.
The No. 41 Ducks take on
Washington on Saturday and
Washington State on Sunday.
Wrestling
continued from page 7
ed as Pac-10 champ by defeating
Lionel Halsey of Cal State Bakers
field. An injury-plagued Watson
fought his way to the final rounc
before falling in the final match.
Eighth-ranked Lee, the defend
ing Pac-10 champion, worked hij
way into the championship rounc
with a 10-4 win over Jeremy Wil
son of Portland State. He then saw
a familiar face in Halsey Sunda)
for the Championship.
Lee already defeated Halsej
once this season, overwhelming
him 10-0; he then made it two-for
two, with his win Sunday. Lee
scored a technical fall with 6 min
utes, 21 seconds left in the match.
One of the bigger surprises of
the tournament was Watson, who
was wrestling for the first time
since he broke his hand prior to
the Portland State match. Watson
fought a tough battle against Al
berto Garza of California Polytech
nic. The two grapplers went to
sudden death overtime, where
Watson scored a takedown to win
the match.
Watson then faced Zac Zimmer
er of Stanford on Sunday for the
championship in the 133-pound
division. Zimmerer defeated Bri
an for the second time in two tries
this year by a 2-1 tiebreaker win.
Tony Overstake and Eric Webb
were stopped in the semi-finals.
Overstake fell to Quinn Foster of
Arizona State, 12-6, in the 149
pound weight class.
He then took on Jay McGuffin of
Boise State in the consolation
bracket on Sunday, where McGuf
fin bested Overstake by a 6-4
score.
Webb fought valiantly against
Oregon State’s Jason Cooley before
falling in sudden death overtime.
Webb nearly scored a technical
fall to make it into the champi
onship round. Cooley, however,
scored a takedown to defeat Webb,
4-2.
Then in the consolation
round, Webb took on Cal State
Bakerfield’s John Devine on Sun
day. Devine beat Webb by a score
of 4-3.
Oregon sophomore David
Watson made it into the semifi
nals by handing a sound defeat to
Nico Saldana of Cal State Fuller
ton, 13-5. David was joined by
fellow sophomore Eugene Har
ris, who scraped out a 6-5 win
over Nick Frost of Arizona State
to advance.
Harris, a junior college transfer,
faced Nathan Vasquez of Cal State
Bakersfield in the consolation
championship round. Vasquez
bested Harris by a score of 7-5.
David took on Gabe Vigil of
Boise State in the 149-weight class
on Sunday. Watson was defeated
by Vigil, 3-2.
Three Ducks earned automatic
berths to the national champi
onships next weekend in St. Louis
with their performance at the Pac
10s.
Eugene Harris and Brian Wat
son will be making their first trips
to nationals, while Lee, a junior,
will making his second trip in
three years.
