Joaquin Hamdan broke into the record books this season. His 21 wins were good enough for third best on the single season list.
Duck teams make history
■A record-breaking season
for the Oregon tennis teams
brings hope for the future of
the UO tennis program
By Robbie McCallum
for the Emerald
It will no doubt go down in his
tory as one of the greatest seasons
ever. Both the men’s and women’s
tennis teams broke many records
in the 1999-2000 season.
After earning incredible upsets
during the Pacific-10 Conference
season, both squads qualified for
the NCAA tournament for only the
second time in school history. Al
though both teams lost in the first
round, Oregon was one of the few
schools in the nation to send both
the men’s and women’s squads.
Because they were so success
ful in the regular season, the
Ducks earned many awards.
Men’s head coach Chris Russell
earned the Pac-10 Coach of the
Year award after guiding his team
to a fifth-place finish in the con
ference. It was the first conference
award for Russell, who is in his
fifth year at Oregon. Senior
Guillermo Carter earned first team
All-Pac-10 honors for his many
upsets in the regular season, in
cluding knocking off Stanford’s
then-No. 3 Geoff Abrams. The
Guadalajara, Mexico, native went
on to earn All-American status af
ter an incredible run in the NCAA
individual championships.
In early April, the men defeat
ed Arizona and
Arizona State
on consecutive
days, marking
the first two
win conference
season for the
Ducks and the
first time the
Ducks had ever finished higher
than ninth.
The women also earned a big
win against Arizona. The upset
victory probably decided Ore
gon’s postseason fate and was the
first win over a southern division
Pac-10 school by a northern divi
sion school ever.
Both teams also set a landmark
in the national rankings. The
Duck men had two players
ranked in the top-100 for the first
time ever in Carter and sopho
more Thomas Schneiter for the
men. The same story applied for
the women as senior Alina
Wygonowska and freshman
Monika Geiczys also cracked the
century mark.
The 2000 season also saw an in
vasion of the Oregon record
books. Wygonowska became the
all-time leader in career singles
wins with 64 after a 21-14 regular
season. The senior from Gydina,
Poland surpassed former team
mate Shanelle Kaneshiro on the
list five matches into the season.
Sophomores Adeline Arnaud
and Janice Nyland also made the
career list, moving up to third and
fourth, respectively.
On the men’s side, four Ducks
moved into the record books.
Freshman Oded Teig’s 22 wins
were enough for second on the
single season list, followed close
ly behind by senior Joaquin Ham
dan at third with 21. The NCAA
qualifying team of Carter and
freshman Leslie Eisinga won 18
matches for second on the single
season doubles list and was
eighth on the career list.
Wygonowska, an honorable
mention All-Pac-10 pick, finished
her career as Oregon’s only four
time NCAA qualifier and will be
sorely missed next season. Carter,
Hamdan and Cedric VanHaver,
the men’s team’s only seniors,
will also be missed.
But both Russell and women’s
head coach Jack Griffin are opti
mistic for next season. Seven
players return on each squad, led
by two of the best freshmen to
ever come to Oregon: Teig and Ge
iczys. With several prized recruits
lined up, the future looks very
bright for the Ducks.

■The No. 19 Ducks made
the NCAA Regionals and had
six players selected to All
Conference teams
By Matt O'Neill
Oregon Daily Emerald
There were some lofty goals set
in the beginning.
Some of them were met, some
were not.
But overall, the Oregon softball
season was a success as the No. 19
Ducks made their second consec
utive trip to the NCAA Regionals,
falling one game short of the cov
eted College World Series.
If it were not for All-American
Courtney Blades of Southern Mis
sissippi, Oregon would have
made only its second trip to the
CWS in school history.
“We definitely should have
gone,” senior Jill Robinson said.
“When things don’t turn out the
way you wanted, you have a ten
dency to look back at them as a
failure. But I don’t think that our
season was a failure.”
Taking a look back over the sea
son in which the Ducks finished
36-29 overall, it can definitely be
seen as a season of records and
streaks.
Robinson and fellow departing
seniors Lindsey Welch and An
drea Gustafson left their marks in
the Oregon record books. All
three were named to the honor
able mention All-Pacific-10 Con
ference team.
Sophomore pitcher Connie Mc
Murren joined the seniors on the
honorable mention All-Confer
ence team. Missy Coe and Triawn
Custer were named to the All
Conference second team.
Robinson etched her name atop
both the single-season and career
home run categories.
Her 15 four-baggers pushed her
ahead of Katie Mackey for most in
one season and her 33 career total
puts her two ahead of Kathy
Stahl.
“You come in as a freshman
and say ‘I can get up there,’”
Robinson said. “I’m glad that I
broke these records because I
worked hard.”
Along with her home run ac
complishments, Robinson found
herself in the top-ten of four other
career categories. She is sitting
second with 35 doubles, one
ahead of Welch’s 34. Robinson’s
224 hits are good enough for
third, while Welch’s 212 base
