Ducks to host Pacific, N MSU
■The Oregon men’s tennis
team returns home for two
key matches against New
Mexico State and Pacific
By Robbie McCallum
Oregon Daily Emerald
The roller coaster ride of a men’s
tennis season continues this week
end with two home matches
against very similar opponents.
In a season that
began with top
ranked Stanford
and winless North
Carolina State, the
No. 66 Ducks now
find themselves up
against No. 54 New
Mexico State and No. 64 Pacific.
“Both teams are very competi
tive, competitive teams with wins
over teams that will be in the
[NCAA] tournament,” Oregon head
coach Chris Russell said. “These
are the kind of matches that we
have to win if we want to make it
there too.”
This weekend’s matches will
have a major effect on whether Ore
gon makes a return to the NCAA
tournament. The Ducks’ five losses
this season have all come to top-30
teams. The Ducks are 2-5 on the
season after breaking a four-game
losing streak last weekend at Idaho.
New Mexico State comes to town
tonight at 5 p.m. at the Student Ten
nis Center. The Aggies were hurt
earlier this season when ace Marc
Legris suffered a hip injury. Legris
played a key role in last season’s 4
3 win over the Ducks. Senior Cesar
Obieta has filled in, compiling a 7-1
record at the No. 1 spot. Legris is
expected to play a limited role
against the Ducks.
“We have found that Cesar's
game fits the No. 1 position week
in and week-out a lot better than
Marc's,” New Mexico State assis
tant coach Carlos Vargas said. “We
fell into this spot by accident, and
it’s like the best thing that could
have happened to us as far as find
ing a No. 1 player who can handle
the heat a little more consistently.”
On Sunday, Pacific visits Eugene
at 2 p.m. The Tigers are 1-2 after
starting their season this month. Pa
cific is led by the doubles team of
Claus Lindholm and Tobias Abra
hamsson. The Tigers’ No. 1 singles
player is Dietrich Haug. Oregon
players are 3-2 against Pacific play
ers this season.
The Ducks counter with sopho
more ace Oded Teig, who is 13-8 in
singles play and coming off a big
win over Idaho’s Eddie Brisbois.
Oregon also has its first ranked
individuals of the season. In the lat
est Intercollegiate Tennis Associa
tion poll, senior David Becker and
freshman Martin Pawlowski are
ranked No. 45 in doubles play. The
duo, although having only played
together since early January, are 3
3 on the season with upsets over
California’s Scott Kintz and Eric
Dmytruk and Indiana State’s Jonas
Piibor and Dalibor Mihajlovic in
their first match together.
“They’ve been playing real tough
lately,” Russell said. “They’ve been
playing at the competitive level
that we’re expecting from them,
and we’re real proud.”
Sophomore Jason Menke has
eight singles wins this season, sec
ond highest on the team.
Today’s match kicks off a three
week home stand at the Student
Tennis Center.
“If we’re not competitive, we’re
going to get pushed around the
court,” Russell said. “But these are
wins we can get and will signifi
cantly increase our chances of get
ting into the tournament.”
Club frisbee travels to San Diego
■The Ultimate frisbee teams
compete in a 54-team
tournament,and rugby
plans to move up to. 500
By Jesse Thomas
For the Emerald
In their biggest competition so far,
the Oregon Club Sports ultimate
frisbee teams will go for glory in the
San Diego President’s Day Tourna
ment this weekend.
The men’s team will have 30
teams to go through to be the best,
and the women will compete
against 24 teams.
This will be the men’s third tour
nament this year, whereas the
women will play in their first big
competition. The women, who en
ter the tournament ranked third, fin
ished in third place at last season’s
tournament.
“We are absolutely going to try
and take the whole thing,” men’s
coach Joshua Greenough said. “We
have the ability to play with every
one else there.”
The men finished eighth in last
season’s San Diego tournament.
Opponents that could offer the
men and women a strong challenge
in their journey to the finals include
teams such as Harvard, Stanford,
Colorado, Yale and UC Davis.
“We’re going to learn how to
win,” women’s coach Izzy Stohler
said. “There are a lot of natural ath
letes on this team with some very
good strength.”
The women are a rather young
team this year after losing 20 veter
ans from last season, but the Ducks
have gained 10 to 15 newcomers
who have a great deal of athleticism.
The women expect a strong show
ing and are confident they can do
better than last year’s competition.
“We have practiced very hard and
feel very prepared for this,” Stohler
said. “With our athleticism we are
ready to improve.”
The men are deeper this year due
to strong recruiting, and according
to Greenough, the team has many
big-game players. With the Ducks’
experience, they will be disappoint
ed in themselves with anything less
than a strong showing in the semifi
nals.
The three-day test begins Satur
day for the Ducks, who hope to bet
ter themselves after respectable
showings in last season’s well
fought performance.
Men’s rugby
The Oregon Club Sports men’s
rugby team will take on Washington
this Saturday at home after a tough
loss against Brigham Young last
weekend. This leaves the Ducks
with a 1-2 record, but they are confi
dent they can to bring it to .500 with
a win over Washington.
“Washington hasn’t played any
where near the competition that we
have,” coach Bob Snyder said.
Golfers surviving Waikoloa’s dunes
■ The Oregon men s golf
team is in third place after
one round at the Taylor
Made Intercollegiate
By Peter Hockaday
Oregon Daily Emerald
Instead of watching “Survivor”
on television
Thursday, the
Oregon men’s golf
team was playing
a game of survival
at the Taylor
Made/Waikoloa
Intercollegiate
tournament in Waikoloa, Hawaii.
The Ducks won their immunity
challenge.
Oregon sits in third place after
one round at the tournament, de
spite playing in winds reaching up
to 40 miles per hour and a field
that includes 12 top-20 teams. The
tournament is being played at the
par-72 Kings Beach Course in
Waikoloa.
Ducks Chris Carnahan and Bran
don Harnden both shot 4-over-par
76s to finish the day tied for tenth
overall.
“It was a day of survival,” Ore
gon head coach Steve Nosier said.
“I am proud of these kids. They
stayed tough and hung in there.”
Besides Carnahan and Harnden,
John Ellis was 5 over par and 15th
overall, Matt Genovese was 7 over
par and 23rd and Aaron Byers fin
ished 37th overall with a 9-over
par 81.
Texas, with a first-round team
total of 302, leads the Taylor Made
by five strokes over Texas Christ
ian. The Longhorns are six strokes
ahead of the Ducks. Arizona State
is in fourth, five strokes behind
Oregon, while Cal State Bakers
field rounds out the top five.
Of six Pacific-10 Conference
teams at the Taylor Made, Oregon
leads the pack. The Ducks are
fending off 10 top-20 teams, in
cluding golf powerhouses Georgia
Tech, Brigham Young and South
ern California.
The Ducks are trying to turn
their season upright after two
ninth-place finishes in their last
two tournaments. In three tourna
ments prior to the Prestige at Palm
Desert in November, Oregon fin
ished fifth, second and fifth re
spectively.
Nosier said that in order to do
well, Oregon just needs to keep up
its intensity.
“We just have to continue to
play hard,” Nosier said.
The Ducks will start the second
round of play today at 6:30 a.m. in
a shotgun start.
