■The women’s tennis team
is on the verge of an NCAA
tournament berth despite a
mid-season slump
By Robbie McCallum
forthe Emerald
Yet another Oregon athletic
team is on the bubble of reaching
the prestigious field of 64.
The women’s tennis teams is on
the verge of qualifying for the
NCAA Tennis Championships be
ginning May 13, its destiny lying
in the hands of the NCAA selec
tion committee.
Despite a rough stretch of
matches to end the season, the
Ducks are still ranked No. 49 in
the latest ITA polls. But the selec
tion committee does not decide
the field of 64 on rankings alone.
“They take a number of things
into consideration; strength of
schedule, conference rankings,
big wins, ” head coach Jack Griffin
said.
Although the Ducks finished
ninth in the Pacific-10 conference
with a 1-7 record, all but one of the
teams ahead of Oregon are ranked
in the top-25.
“It’s a strong region, definitely
the toughest, but that helps us,”
Griffin said. “We have nine teams
in the top 30. You can’t say that
about other regions. ”
Despite a stretch of games in
which the Ducks lost nine of ten
matches, the team still has quite a
case for a tournament berth.
The Ducks finished the season
strongly, defeating UC-Irvine and
Long Beach State convincingly.
Oregon has three major upsets ~
to its name: No. 20 Arizona, No. 30
San Diego State and No. 50 UC
Irvine. The latter two being con
vincing 6-3 wins.
On Feb. 11, the Ducks pushed
No. 8 UCLA to the brink before
falling 5-4 in doubles.
The strength of the Oregon
schedule is also a plus. Of the 20
teams Oregon has faced, 14 were
ranked in the top 100 and nine
were ranked higher than the Ducks.
“Things are still up in the air,”
Griffin said. “It’s going to come
down to a lot of things. ”
While the team situation is un
certain, Oregon has two individ
ual players in contention for
NCAA berths.
Senior Alina Wygonowska and
freshman Monika Geiczys are
ranked No. 61 and 62 respectively.
The Polish players have remained
in the ITA rankings for most of the
season, marking the first time in
team history that two players have
been ranked at the same time.
Wygonowska and Geiczys,
along with sophomore Janice Ny
land will represent the Ducks at
the Pac-10 championships on
April 27 in Ojai, Calif. Wygonows
ka and Gieczys will also represent
Oregon in doubles competition.
“If they can have a good win at -
Ojai, they can get a good draw at
the NCAAs,” Griffin said.
The remaining singles players ,
compete in the Pac-10 invitation
al, also in Ojai.
Oregon will know whether it
will have qualified for the NCAA
tournament next week.
