Women’s club soccer remains undefeated ■ ‘Solid’ Oregon women’s soccer team dominates its competition and looks for more such success By Jesse Thomas For the Emerald With an undefeated record and nine new members, the women’s club soccer team is sitting pretty. Sunday, the women ended in a 0-0 tie with Lane Community College. “We played really well,’’ said Bar bie Bowling, coach and senior for ward. “We were the better team.” The team (8-2-0 overall) com petes both indoors and outdoors due to weather changes. With just a few games remaining for fall, long term goals are to stay fit in the win ter and play hard in the spring while awaiting playoffs. “We hope to play our best and be come a better team together by play ing off of each other,” Bowling said. Crew teams disappointed For the first time, the Oregon club crew teams competed in the treacher ous 7K race this last weekend at the Portland Loop Regatta of Champions. On the Willamette, the men raced in the lightweight four and the openweight eight classes and the women had two teams competing in the openweight four. The men’s 1 Strengthen Your Resume!

In the women’s race the “A” boat finished second and the “B” boat ended up seventh out of eight teams. “It wasn’t a matter of fitness but a matter of technique for us,” senior rower Kurt McCulloch said. “This was a serious disappointment.” The ultimate experience Ranked eighth in the nation last year, the Oregon men’s club ulti mate frisbee team has high expecta tions to attend nationals this year. The two Oregon teams competed in a 12-team tournament last week, with one team going to the quarterfi nals and the other making it to the finals. The fall is actually something of a preseason for the team because the real goal is to win the Northwest Regionals in May and move on to the national tournament. “This is a very encouraging sea son with all the veterans returning,” captain Josh Greenough said. “I think we will do better this year than last year.” Soccer continued from page 8 the Ducks played tough against Ari zona State before beating Arizona 2-0 on the same weekend. Then, Oregon faced top-ranked UCLA and Southern California and never fully recovered from the drub bing it received at the hands of those two teams. The Ducks were scored on 11 times that weekend and didn’t win a game for the rest of the season. Steffen remains optimistic about the team’s chances for next season. “The fact that they’ve been through this and lasted through this is very encouraging,” Steffen said. Also encouraging for Steffen is next year’s roster. The Ducks will take a hit in the midfield, losing Allyssa White, Melissa Parker and T.J. Johnson to graduation. But the team will return all of its forwards and defenders, as well as the top two goalies, for the 2001 season. Not to mention that the returning mid fielders — Chalise Baysa, Annie Murphy and Dara Wone — will be able to more than fill the holes left behind by the seniors. While hesitant to use the word “rebuild” to describe the 2000 sea son, Steffen is still encouraged about his returning lineup. Steffen’s personal most valuable player for this season was a no-brainer. “You have to point to Chalise [Baysa],” Steffen said. “She gets the attention from other teams, as well as handling a lot of the play because of her position.” Baysa was the team’s leading goal-scorer this season, and sur passed Erin Anderson as the Ducks’ all-time leading scorer midway through the 2000 campaign. Baysa and the rest of the Oregon team will try to navigate the tough Pac-10 road again next season—but in 2001 they will be older, wiser and more battle-tested than this season.
