The Ducks finished 1-2 against the Pacific Coast Conference op ponents, Montana, Idaho and Eastern Washington. Oregon coach Rich Fay said he was pleased of the team’s un selfish play. “It was easy for the players to try hit home runs like the other teams did, but our style is to put runners on the bases and drive them in,” Fay said. The Ducks lost 6-9 in a close game against University of Mon tana. Fay said he was impressed how the team fought back de spite the early 5 point deficit and that Oregon had a good chance winning if it were not for the time limit, which is applied to the tournament. The Ducks won the second game against Ida ho 13-2. Zach Ross threw 7 strong in nings and drove in 3 runs for Oregon. The Ducks suf fered a 14-0 loss against Eastern Washington, playing with only 5 regular players. Oregon will play Western Washington on March 18 at Eugene. Spring break not one for Duck golf teams ■ Both golf teams will be basking in the sun on the course, not at the beach this spring break By Peter Hockaday for the Emerald For once, the Ducks will have home-course advantage. Over spring break, the Oregon men’s golf team will host the Ore gon Duck Invitational at the Shadow Hills Country Club in Junction City March 20 and 21. The women’s golf team will tee off at the Colby/ Santa Clara Invi tational in Monterey, Calif., on those same dates. The Oregon men will rely on the hot hand of Ryan Lavoie. He won the individual title at the Cleveland Southwest Intercolle giate two weeks ago and will look to improve on his performance at the Duck last year, when he fin ished seventh overall. Fourteen teams will compete in the Duck Invitational, the Ducks’ only Northwest outing of the spring. The teams will play two rounds of 18 holes each on March 20, while the final 18-hole round will take place on March 21. The women’s golf team will also compete over the break, even if they won’t experience the same home-course advantage that the men get. The Ducks play in the Colby/Santa Clara Invita tional at the Rancho Canada Golf Club in Monterey on March 20 and 21. The women will try to im prove on their No. 23 ranking at the tournament they’ve won twice in two attempts, last year and in 1997. Women continued from page 11A jumped into the arms of her ec static teammates, the Ducks weren’t thinking about respect. They weren’t thinking about par ity, or being underrated or play ing in a supposedly weakened conference. When asked about how it felt to win the title outright and no longer have it under UCLA’s shadow, Wolvert didn’t talk about a lack of respect. Instead, she applauded her fans. “The biggest difference I see in how I feel from last year and this year is just the fact that we won it at home in front of everybody,” she said. “It just makes it worth more. Last year we were at [Cali fornia], and there were like 300 people there. I’m sure 200 of them were ours anyway, but the best experience we’ve had this year so far would be tonight. ” Wolvert wasn’t an exception to her team. Nothing was said by players — aside from Jenny Mowe joking around about “no co-champion stuff’ — about how they deserve more respect. That in itself is commendable because everyone knows they do. But the Ducks obviously have more important things to think about. They have never made it past the second round in nine trips to the Big Dance, but they’ve also never hosted two rounds at Mac Court. Just like Oregon gets little re spect from the conference, the Pac 10 gets little respect this season from the NCAA. The chances are that no team coming into the Pit will really be ready for what is coming to them. For the first time ever, the Ducks should go to the Sweet 16. Which is in Portland. Only two hours of driving for their 9,000 plus fans. And then, who knows? But Ann Meyers still isn’t sold on Oregon. In an on-line chat on ESPN.com that immediately fol lowed the NCAA selections, the UCLA alum discussed third-seeded Mississippi State coming to Eugene. “I think Mississippi State has got a great chance of making it to the Sweet 16,” she said. “You know what, it might play an ad vantage for Mississippi State to go to Oregon.” Watch out, Meyers. And don’t call her “Shaq Williams.” She doesn’t like it. 008761 Here are some helpful hints for enjoying much deserved Spring Break. 6(o -for a Kike and enjoy nature • Use sun screen Treat youvsel-f to a massage • Sleep Try something new • Alake a new -friend 1/VatdK tKe sun set • Read a book for pleasure • Use late/.
