Ducks to play in new fac:!ity
■ The first Duck Classic
tourney will be the inaugural
event for the new on-campus
indoortennis facility
By Robbie McCallum
Oregon Daily Emerald
The long-awaited debut of the
new $2.1 million, 48,000-square
foot indoor tennis facility is here.
After six years of playing “home”
matches across town at the Willow
Creek Racquet Club and the Eugene
Swim and Tennis Center, the Ore
gon tennis teams now have a home
on campus.
“This is something that we’ve
been looking forward to for a long
time,” men’s tennis coach Chris
Russell said. “To open it up is
something that we’re real excited
about.”
The facility, which has been op
erational since late August, was re
cently equipped with scoreboards
and seating, making it ready for
tournament play. Additional occu
pancy and fire code issues have yet
to be determined, but will be set
tled by 2001.
Teams will take to the new in
door courts for the first time this
weekend for the Duck Classic, the
premier home indoor tournament
in school history. Oregon hosts
Portland and Pacific-10 Conference
rival Washington in a three-day,
flighted individual tournament.
Both the men’s and women’s
teams have been practicing in the
indoor facility for almost three
months and are starting to feel at
home in the new building.
“They seem to be liking it very

much,” Russell said. “The sur
roundings and the speed of the
court are conducive to good tennis.”
All five Ducks will take part in
the tournament, which is open to
the public.
“We want to show the other
teams that we can showcase on a
competitive level of tennis,” Rus
sell said. “It’s an ideal environment
for tennis and one of the top venues
for tennis in the Northwest.”
Sophomore Oded Teig leads the
Ducks into action. The native of
Holon, Israel, sports an 8-2 singles
record after two competitions. Teig
advanced to the finals in the Bull
dog Classic Oct. 6 and the semifi
nals of the ITA Regionals in Berke
ley, Calif., Oct. 30.
Also entered for the Duck men
are veteran senior David Becker,
sophomore Jason Menke and fresh
men Buck Mink and Chris King.
Mink sports a 3-2 singles record
while King is 3-3 on the year.
Oregon players will perform in
one of four flights of singles against
Washington and Portland players.
The Ducks will also enter two dou

portion of the tournament.
“This is a chance for us to get some
wins and boost our confidence,”
Russell said. “We’re hoping to show
UW and UP competitiveness, and
have the patience and desire to stay
in the point and attack opportunities
on a point-by-point basis.”
First-round action begins at
10:30 a.m. today, followed by con
solation and semi-final round play
through Sunday.
The tournament is the last com
petition for Oregon on its preseason
fall schedule. The Ducks return to
action Jan. 19 in Minneapolis,
Minn., for the Ice Volleys. Oregon
will face host Minnesota, Indiana
State and North Carolina State in
that tournament.
Pac-10 action will take place at
home a week after the Ice Volleys
against top-ranked Stanford.
The grand opening of the tennis
facility will take place next Friday
in a ceremony with University
President Dave Frohnmayer, Ath
letic Director Bill Moos and several
other dignitaries.
Chalise Baysa, Beth Bowler, Crys
tal David and Starr Johnson, along
with sophomore Julie McLellan,
were named to the team.
White and Johnson were also
praised for their efforts in the Ten
nessee Tournament in September
and were named to that event’s all
tournament team.
Baysa has now been recognized by
the Pac-10 for three straight years.
The midfielder was named to the All
Pac-10 Second Team after her fresh
man and sophomore campaigns.
