Ducks' seasons are finished ■ Both the men’s and women’s teams suffer defeats in the first round of the NCAA Tournament By Robbie McCallum for the Emerald After coming so far and surviv ing through so much adversity, both Oregon tennis teams were struck down in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The Ducks faced long odds in both tourna ment matches, and their oppo nents lived up to expectations. The Oregon women were sXvept 5-0 by Mississippi State in Tempe, Ariz., while the men lost 4-0 at Fresno State. Senior Guillermo Carter will have two more matches in a Duck uniform, as he’ll take part in the NCAA individual champi onships, while Oregon’s other two seniors, Joaquin Hamdan and Alina Wygonowska, have fin ished their collegiate careers. Mississippi State’s depth proved to be too much for the No. 50 women’s team. The Bulldogs swept the No. 2 through 5 singles matches, all in straight sets. Doubles play and Wygonws ka’s match against No. 93 Amelie Detriv iere were sus pended be cause the contest had already been decided. “Mississippi State was just a better team than us today," head coach Jack Griffin said in a re leased statement. “Our girls fought hard, but they out played us in every match.” In the second round of tourna ment play, Mississippi State was defeated 5-0 by Pacific-10 confer ence foe Arizona State. The Ducks fell to 8-15 on the year. The NCAA appearance was Oregon’s second straight and third in school history, all under Griffin. “We’re happy to have made the NCAA's three out of the last four years but we have a lot of work ahead of us,” Griffin said. “It was a great experience for us to be here and hopefully we can build on it.” The men faced a similar fate as the women — but against a higher ranked opponent. The contest was also suspended mid-way be cause Fresno State had already clinched the match. The No. 24 team of Carter and freshman Leslie Eisinga lost a tough match to the No. 21 team of Andy Scorteanu and Rob Cheyne, 8-6. The Bulldogs clinched the doubles point on Olivier Le Jeune and Nick Fustar’s win over junior David Becker and Hamdan. After Carter and Hamdan lost, Fresno State needed only Scorteanu’s 6-4, 6-3 win over freshman Oded Teig to clinch the victory. Sophomore Thomas Schneiter, Becker and Eisinga’s matches were suspended. Oregon women make NCAA cut ■The women’s golf team used a good final round to qualify for the NCAA Championships By Peter Hoekaday for the Emerald The Oregon women’s golf team could have folded under the pres sure, but a late charge at the NCAA West Regionals in Tempe, Ariz., Saturday put the Ducks in the NCAA Championships for only the sixth time ever. Needing to finish 11th or better at the Karsten Golf Course to ex tend its season, Oregon was 10th after two rounds. But after the fi nal round Saturday, when the Ducks shot their lowest score of the tournament, they stood sev enth and earned a trip to the NCAA Championships in Sunriv er May 24-27. “They played their hearts out,” head coach Renee Baumgartner said. “All our hard work is paying off at the right time.” Oregon managed to finish ahead of nine higher-ranked op ponents despite lacking a top-20 individual finisher. The Ducks’ best were senior Anika Heuser and junior Jerilyn White, who fin ished tied for 21st. No. 80 in the country, White continued to lead the Ducks in scoring. The Salem native has led Oregon in both postseason tour naments it has played. White re covered from a first-round 77 on the par-72 Arizona State course and shot two-over par for the final two rounds, including a birdie and an eagle on the final two holes. Notably missing the NCAA Championships cut were No. 9 Oklahoma State, No. 10 New Mexico State, No. 14 UCLA and No. 16 New Mexico.
