Tennis men rock;
Duck women roll
■The Oregon men end their
losing skid at four, but the
women drop two key matches
By Robbie McCallum
Oregon Daily Emerald
After four straight home losses,
a road victory was just what the
Oregon men’s tennis team needed.
And that is just what it got Satur
day in Moscow, Idaho.
The No. 66-ranked Ducks swept
doubles competition and picked
up five singles
vict°ries in a
■ '/■ rout of Idaho.
ho’s Eddie Brisbois, 6-3, 6-1. The
Oregon ace also teamed with fresh
man Chris King for a dominating
doubles victory against the Van
dals’ Chris Faulman and Brock
Berry.
King picked up a singles win
against Faulman.
Sophomore Jason Menke contin
ued his hot streak with a 6-1, 6-2
win over Fabian Dummett in sin
gles and an 8-3 doubles victory
with freshman Buck Mink.
Freshman Martin Pawlowski
won for the second time in a Duck
uniform since joining the team in
early January. The Norrkoping,
Sweden native defeated Amod
Wakalkar 7-5, 6-3.
Senior David Becker defeated
Idaho’s Brad Lum-Tucker, 2-6, 6-4,
6-3.
The lone Idaho point came at
the No. 3 singles position, where
freshman Buck Mink and the Van
dals’ Stephen De Silva battled
through a three-set marathon.
Mink fell to De Silva after tying the
match in the second set, 6-4, 5-7,
6-3.
“I thought we played pretty well
Sophomore
Oded Teig
picked up his
13th singles vic
tory of the sea
son against Ida
for the most part,” Oregon head
coach Chris Russell said. “This
win was good for us in order to
gain some momentum heading
into next week’s match because we
have a couple of tough ones com
ing up.”
The Ducks host No. 53 New
Mexico State on Friday and No. 64
Pacific on Sunday.
While the men broke their los
ing streak on the road, the women
started one of their own. The No.
53 women dropped two Pacific-10
conference matches to Arizona
and Arizona State.
Despite being outscored 13-1
through the two matches, women’s
coach Jack Griffin said the Ducks
played tough.
“It doesn’t look good losing 7-0,
but we played three three-hour
singles matches,” Griffin said. “For
our second outdoor match of the
season, I think we performed ex
tremely well. If we keep this
progress up, we’re going to start
having some wins against higher
ranked opponents.”
On Saturday, sophomores
Jeanette Mattsson, Monika Ge
iczys and freshman Davina
Mendiburu each battled their Sun
Devil opponents to the third set
before falling.
Geiczys and freshman Courtney
Nagle picked up the only win
against Arizona State’s No. 1 dou
bles team, defeating Karin Palme
and Adria Engel, 8-6.
On Friday, the Ducks were dealt
a 6-1 setback to No. 25 Arizona.
Junior Adeline Arnaud earned
the only victory of the day, sweep
ing the Wildcats’ Laresa-Marino, 6
3, 6-0.
The Ducks came close to captur
ing the doubles point, but lost all
three matches by less than three
points.
The women have this week off
before traveling to Los Angeles for
Pac-10 matches against Southern
California and UCLA.
