Senior Anika Heuser leads the Ducks through two rounds at the NCAA Championships in Sunriver.
■Arizona takes control,
as the Ducks join the best
of the rest, sitting in
third place at the NCAAs
By Peter Hockaday
for the Emerald
The traditional powerhouses
finally came out to play Thurs
day at the NCAA Women’s Golf
Champi
onships in
Sunriver, and
No. 24 Ore
gon fell out of
first place,
finishing the
day in third.
No. 1 Arizona charged ahead
of the field, improving by 14
strokes to take a 12-stroke lead
over No. 3 Southern California.
The Ducks, who shot eight
strokes worse than their first
round score, trail Southern Cal
ifornia by two strokes.
Fifth-ranked Stanford, No. 8
Georgia and No. 21 Tennessee
are nipping at Oregon’s heels in
fourth place. All three teams are
one stroke behind the Ducks,
while No. 2 Duke recovered
from a poor opening round and
is now three strokes behind
Oregon in eighth place.
Oregon head coach Renee
Baumgartner said the wind that
picked up at the Crosswater
Golf Course may have affected
her team’s slightly lower score.
“We played with the same
amount of confidence,” Baum
gartner said. “The conditions
were difficult and we hung in
there.”
Junior Jerilyn White was the
only Oregon player to improve
her score, from a 75 to a 73 on

For the first time in school
history, the Oregon men’s tennis
team has a player in the third
round of the NCAA tournament
in Athens,Ga.
Senior Guillermo Carter qual
ified for All
American
status by
recording his
second
straight upset
in the tourna
ment and ad
vancing to
the 16th round.
“I don’t think he knew until
after he won that he was playing
to be an All-American,” head
coach Chris RuSsell said. “After
the match I asked him, ‘How
does it feel to be an All-Ameri
can?’ And he said, ‘What do you
mean?’ And then, well, he got a
big smile on his face and he just
said, ‘Really?’ I'm very proud of
Memo's effort. He deserves to be
an All-American.
