Oregon baseball
swings into season
■ The men's club
baseball team returns
from play with high hopes
for its regular season
By Shigenari Matsumoto
for the Emerald
Oregon Club Sports men’s
baseball team played in a two
day preseason tournament dur
ing the weekend at Washington.
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

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.
