“I think our chances are pretty
good,” Gustafson said. “But you
never know what the committee
will do. We’ve been playing tough
opponents in our conference all
season. Hopefully they’ll take that
into consideration because we’ve
all knocked each other off all sea
son long.
“Right now, we are the only
team in the conference on the
bubble. But if they take Cal, then
they have to take us.”
The future
With four important compo
nents of this year’s team are leav

step up.

Club Sports brief
Ducks water polo team
places third in Corvallis
The Oregon Club Sports water
polo team continued its recent
success with a third place finish
at a tournament in Corvallis last
weekend.
The Ducks went 3-2 in the two
day tournament, bringing their
record to 12-7 overall. The team
came one win away from the
playoff finals only to be eliminat
ed by the Portland Masters club
Robinson and Gustafson have
provided the Ducks with steady
production and will leave some
gaping holes in both offense and
pitching. Robinson and Welch are
at the top of numerous categories
in the school record book, while
Gustafson is second on the team
in batting average and Haag has
provided some key pitching per
formances.
Freshman Alyssa Laux, Amber
Hutchison and Andrea Vidlund
have more than provided depth to
this season’s roster. They have all
developed during the course of
the season and earned spots in the
starting lineup.
Vidlund leads the team in wins
(16) and has been a constant offen
sive threat toward the bottom of the
lineup. IirSunday’s game she de
livered a two-out single with the
bases loaded to drive in two runs.
“I’ve seen her grow immense
ly,” Gustafson said. “She had no
confidence in the beginning. Her
team 17-14.
Although the Ducks were able
to keep up with Portland, fresh
man Anthony Tran said the team
simply “ran out of gas at the end.”
The Portland Masters went on
to win the tournament.
The Ducks finished Saturday’s
pool play with wins over Tualitin
Hills, Western Oregon and the
Seattle Otters masters team, with
the lone loss coming against the
University of Washington.
Amanda Studdard continued
her strong play at goalie, allowing
only four goals in the victory. But
the weekend success was a com
second half of the Pac-10 season
has been amazing. I can see a
huge difference.”
Laux has also had a admirable
second half. Injuries plagued her
for most of the preseason and in
the beginning of the Pac-10 slate.
But now she is healthy, and she
has moved into the starting short
stop position, batting behind
Gustafson at the second spot in
the batting order.
“She’s done a great job,”
Gustafson said. “She’s a really hard
worker and will be a great player.”
Gustafson is not worried about
the team’s future with quality
players like Laux, Vidlund and
Hutchison.
“I definitely see this year’s class
as the leaders down the road,”
Gustafson said. “They have the
potential to lift the team to the
level of a Washington or Arizona.
“When I saw Andrea get the hit
to score Alyssa and Amber, I knew
that the team is in good hands.”

“We played some of the best wa
ter polo we’ve ever played,” senior
Ben Gottlieb said.
The Ducks hope to maintain
that level of play in their last
home game of the season against
Oregon State University.
In what the team is calling its
“own little civil war,” the four
senior players hope to go out as
victors in their home water in
front of a strong turnout.
The game is next Wednesday at
