NCAAs await Ducks ■ Both the men’s and women’s tennis teams eye individual berths in the NCAA tou rna ment today By Robbie McCallum for the Emerald Although an NCAA tourna ment bid is unlikely for either Oregon tennis team, several indi vidual berths are up for grabs to day through Sunday at the Pacif ic-10 Conference Championships in Ojai, Calif. Five men and three women represent the Ducks at the Pac 10s, which co incide with the Ojai Valley Amateur Tour nament, the Big West Champi onships, the Division 3 Re gional and the California High School Champi onships. More than 1,000 partici pants will play during the three day tennis marathon. Thirty-two singles players and 16 doubles teams will compete in the single-elimination Pac-10 tour nament featuring nine conference schools. Its outcome will have a heavy effect on who is selected to \go to the NCAA Championships on May 15 in Malibu, Calif. Representing the Duck men are seniors Guillermo Carter and Joaquin Hamdan, sophomore Thomas Schneiter and freshmen Oded Teig and Leslie Eisinga. With a No. 45 ranking, Carter is the seventh-highest ranked Pac 10 player. He will face No. 94 Scotty Scott of Stanford in the first round today. The only other ranked Duck is No. 100 Schneiter, who faces ( ( Every match will be a tough one. jack Griffin women’s coach jj Washington’s Jeremy Berman. Earning a tough first-round draw was Hamdan, who takes on Stan ford’s No. 12 Geoff Abrams. Teig will face Arizona State’s Matt Klinger. On Friday, the 39th-ranked doubles team of Carter and Eisin- ▼ ga take on UCLA’s Jean-Julien Ro jer and Jean-Noel Grinda. Schneiter and Teig face Califor nia’s John Paul Fruttero and David Tzou. On the women’s side, No. 61 senior Alina Wygonowska and No. 62 freshman Monika Geiczys have the best chance of any Duck for a NCAA bid. Wygonowska plays Arizona’s Uzma Kahn while Geiczys battles Southern California’s No. 56 Kara War ketin. Sophomore Janice Nyland hopes to continue her recent win streak against Arizona State’s No. 36 Karin Palme. Oregon’s lone doubles team, Geiczys and Nyland, will take on UCLA’s Abigail Spears and Eliza beth Schmidt. “Every match will be a tough one,” women’s coach Jack Griffin said. “It’s a great opportunity for Alina and Monika to solidify ^ their spot in the NCAAs.”
