NCAAs await tennis teams
■The Ducks have steep
challenges in store for them
in the first round of the
NCAA tournament

They survived two teammates
leaving the team. They made it
through a mid-season slump.
They are young but they have ex
perience. Tomorrow, the up-and
down women’s tennis season
comes down to one match.
Oregon (8-14 overall) earned
the last NCAA wild-card bid,
making it the second-straight year
the team has reached postseason.
The No. 51 Ducks take on No. 36
Mississippi State tomorrow in the
first round in Tempe, Ariz., where
they’ll have to deal with 90-de
gree conditions.
“We’re very excited to go there
and play,” head coach Jack Griffin
said. “We’re happy that we’re cre
ating a tradition of making the
tournament every year.”
After earning one of the biggest
victories in school history against
Arizona, sophomore Sarah Col
istro and freshman Amy Juppen
latz left. The Ducks lost nine of
their next ten games, falling be
hind in the ever-tough Pacific-10
conference.
But the NCAA was impressed
enough by Oregon’s schedule to
give it a tournament berth.
“We went through some adver
sity and lost a couple players and
still managed to squeak in,” Grif
fin said. “We’ll take advantage of
it.”

Alina Wygonowska leads the Ducks into a first-round match with Mississippi State.
son to Oregon. After winning six
of their first seven non-conference
matches, the Bulldogs hit the
Southeastern Conference sched
ule and lost seven of their last
eight matches.
Mississippi State “is a very
tough team, real match-competi
tive,” Griffin said. “It’s really go
ing to come down to who wants it
more.”
With eight players all getting
significant playing time, the Bull
dogs (10-11) have a deep lineup.
This should give Oregon trouble
in doubles play, which has been a
problem for the Ducks all season.
The only ranked Bulldog is No. 93
junior Amelie Detriviere, who
leads a workhorse team with a so
il record. Linda Mattsson also
has an impressive record at 21-6.
The Ducks will need output
from their top two players, No. 76
senior Alina Wygonowska and
No. 72 freshman Monika Geiczys.
Wygonowska was recently named
to the Pac-10 honorable mention
team.
Should the Ducks defeat Mis
sissippi State, they will face the
winner of the Arizona State-Army
match on Sunday. Oregon lost to
Pac-10 rival Arizona State earlier
this season, 7-2, and they have
never faced Army.
The Oregon men have a much
tougher task ahead of them. The
Ducks also barely qualified for the
NCAAs on a wild card bid. They
travel to Fresno, Calif, tomorrow
for first-round action.
Oregon received a tough draw
in No. 14 Fresno State. The Bull

Fresno State “is a very solid

If Oregon advances past Fresno
State, it plays the winner of the
Southern California-Pacific
match.
