UO rugby grapples with OSU
■ The Oregon men’s rugby
team beats Oregon State,
but the women’s team
isn’t as successful
By Shigenari Matsu moto
for the Emerald
The Oregon Club Sports men’s
rugby team (5-0) won the North
west league championship by
defeating Oregon State (4-2) 24
18 at Corvallis Saturday.
“We have a good club,” Ore
gon coach Bob Snyder said. “We
should represent the Northwest
league pretty well.”
The win ends a 15-year losing
streak against the Beavers.
“As a player I never lost to the
Beavers but this is my first win as
a coach,” Snyder said. “I am
proud of the players who really
practiced hard.”
Ducks’ scrum half Michael Her
man agrees
that practice
payed off.
“We came
out as team,”
Herman
said. “We
worked hard
as team and
that made us come out on the
top.”
The win allows the Ducks to
host the National tournament
against Cal-State Chico on April
1. If the Ducks win, they will
probably face the reigning nation
al champion Golden Bears.
“I am very happy that the team
is going to the play-offs,” senior
Jacob Hays said. “The team gets a
chance to show what it can do at a
national level by competing
against the best in the country.”
Snyder said he likes the
chances against Chico State but
that the team still needs to work
on its offense.
“The backs were able to ad
vance the ball but we couldn’t fin
ish,” Snyder said. “We need to
work on finishing the game.”
The Ducks will play an exhibi
tion match against California on
March 18 at California.
Theomen’s rugby team (3-2)
lost to Oregon State (5-0) 37-12 at
Corvallis on Saturday. The Ducks’
only lead came when wing Kelsey
Christianson scored a try amidst
the celebration of the men’s rugby
team’s win, which ended a few
minutes before the women’s
game.
“I was pretty excited about the
try, but I wanted to keep it going,”
Kelsey said.
The Ducks managed to score on
a Hillary Giorgio try but after that
it was all Beavers.
“Oregon State players were
coming to the ruck quicker, hard
er and lower so we were being
pushed around,” Sherri Michl
said. “OSU was really controlling
the ball and that was where we re
ally lost it.”
Kelsey said the Ducks were a
down and frustrated about the of
ficials’ calls and their own per
formance.
“I think we had a good chance
of winning but we made way too
much mistakes,” Kelsey said.
Oregon coach Sean Peters said
the Beavers simply played better
and though the loss is disapoint
ing, players should keep their
heads up.
“We still will play in postsea
son games and I think we have a
good chance of winning.”
The Ducks either face Califor
nia, Chico or Stanford on March
26 in the first round of the Nation
al tournament at Corvallis.
Raptors crush Blazers,
winning fifth straight
By Landon Hall
The Associated Press
PORTLAND (AP) — Vince
Carter scored 35 points and Doug
Christie added 26 as the Toronto
Raptors hit a season-high 13 3
pointers to easily beat Portland
109-90 on Monday night.
The Raptors won their fifth in
a row and fourth straight on the
road, a franchise record. Toronto
moved a half-game ahead of
Philadelphia for the No. 4 spot in
the Eastern Conference.
Rasheed Wallace scored a sea
son-high 27 and Arvydas Sabo
nis had 16 points and 11 re
bounds to lead the Blazers, who
have lost two of their last three
home games after winning 16
straight.
Carter, who began the night as
the NBA’s fourth-leading scorer
at 25.5 points per game, is aver
aging 30.6 points over his last 15
games.
The Blazers weathered a 15-0
run in the second quarter, but
folded after Toronto reeled off 13
straight points in the third. A 21
foot baseline jumper by Antonio
Davis put the Raptors ahead 62
54, and Portland couldn’t get
closer than four after that.
Carter was playing his first
game ever at the Rose Garden,
and he treated the crowd to an
exhibition of long-distance
shooting along with a flashy
dunk. Carter shot 4-of-5 from 3
point range. Christie was 5-of-9.
The Blazers had a nine-point
lead in the second quarter, but it
quickly vanished when the sec
ond unit came in.
After a jumper by Stacey Aug
mon, the Raptors went on their
15-0 run, highlighted by one of
Carter’s poster-worthy dunks on
a lob from Muggsy Bogues. A re
verse layup by Kevin Willis gave
Toronto a 40-34 lead.
Portland responded, and Wal
lace one-upped Carter with a
powerful one-handed slam over
Antonio Davis to put the Blazers
ahead 45-44. Greg Anthony con
verted a three-point play after a
goaltending violation on Carter
to give Portland a 52-47 halftime
lead.
Blazers’ point guard Damon
Stoudamire missed his second
straight game after injuring his
left knee in last week’s home loss
to the Los Angeles Lakers. With a
bigger, less quick lineup, the
Blazers didn’t run the open court
well and turned the ball over 17
times.
The Raptors scored 62 points
in the second half, and Carter
and Christie combined to shoot
7-of-ll from 3-point range in the
final two quarters.
The Blazers pulled to 65-61 on
a turnaround shot off the glass by
Rasheed Wallace with 5:26 left in
the third. But Charles Oakley hit
a 23-foot jumper, and Carter
tipped home his own miss to
make it 71-63. Dell Curry’s 3
pointer with 6.5 seconds left in
the period made it an 81-70 lead.
Notes: With Stoudamire out,
Scottie Pippen played the point
and Detlef Schrempf started at
small forward, his sixth start of
the season and first since Jan. 14.
Schrempf scored seven points.
... Portland activated backup
point guard Gary Grant and put
reserve center Joe Kleine on the
injured list with tendinitis in his
left knee. ... Toronto tied the
franchise record for consecutive
wins, set last season. ... Augmon
scored a season-high 11 points.
