Oregon club teams ready
for busy weekend of play
■ Men’s rugby, women’s water
polo, men’s baseball and
men’s rugby all prepare for
important weekend games
By Jesse Thomas
for the Emerald
The Oregon Club Sports men’s
rugby team is faced with two op
tions: a chance at nationals, or go
ing home.
And who better to have this de
ciding game against then the
Ducks’ favorite rival, Oregon State?
The Ducks must beat the
Beavers, and Washington must win
because of the point differential. If
both these scenarios happen, the
Oregon men will advance to na
tionals on March 31 in California.
The Ducks are coming off a loss
to California, but they executed ex
tremely well. Oregon head coach
Bob Snyder said that if Oregon can
play like that against OSU, his team
will win by 60.
“I just want to punish them and
put as many points up as possible,”
Snyder said.
The two rivals will go head-to
head and heart-against-heart at 1
p.m. Saturday on Southbank Field.
Women’s water polo
to face rival
The Oregon women’s water polo
team competes in the Regional
tournament this weekend in Taco
ma, Wash., in its most important
match so far.
“The only games that matter are
the ones this weekend and in the
championships in a month,” Ore
gon head coach Lea Bonebrake
said.
The Ducks have a tremendous
amount of depth this season — they
enter the tournament ranked 18th
in national standings — and feel
confident about their chances of
winning. In a tournament in Santa
Cruz on Feb. 10-11, the Oregon
women defeated a No. 7 team twice
and lost by only two points to the
No. 2 team.
“I feel confident and think we
will do well,” Bonebrake said.
This tournament determines the
seedings for the championship
tournament, which is only a month
away. The Ducks have a few hur
dles to jump along the way, includ
ing Washington, the defending na
tional champion, which Oregon
plays this weekend.
“They [Huskies] aren’t expecting
us to do anything, so we want to

sneak up behind and surprise
them,” Bonebrake said. “This tour
nament should really bring them
[Ducks] together.
Baseball opens season
It’s a brand-new season for the
Oregon men’s baseball team as it
steps up to the plate this weekend
in its first tournament in Sunny
side, Wash.
With a younger team this year,
including just six returnees, the
Ducks remain optimistic about
playing against Montana, Eastern
Washington and Idaho this Satur
day.
“We have more depth this year
and look solid,” senior coordinator
Regan Schaller said.
Last year, the men finished out
their season with a 6-5 record but
didn’t have such a positive out
come in their season-ending
league tournament. The Ducks en
tered that tournament ranked sec

ond but were knocked out in the
first round as the season came to
an abrupt stop without advancing
to regionals.
The Oregon men now will test
themselves in a new year against
strong teams.
“I want to see how we look on
the field and establish team unity,”
Oregon head coach Kurt Langwor
thy said. “We will at least come
away with two victories.”
Men's ultimate faces
strong competition
The Oregon men’s ultimate team
is traveling south this weekend to
compete in a 16-team tournament
in Stanford.
The Ducks will be a little short
handed with four players out to in
jury, though some may play. Ore
gon head coach Josh Greenough is
expecting the middle players to
step it out.
“This gives them the opportuni
ty to show how good they really
are,” Greenough said.
The men have pool play on Sat
urday, and the competition is going
to be intense. The Ducks face
Brown, the defending national
champion, while Oregon’s other
two opponents — California and
North Carolina Wilmington — will
be seeking revenge. The Oregon
men defeated Cal twice last fall,
and knocked off host North Caroli
na-Wilmington at its own home
tournament last year.
“We want at least a strong show
ing in the semifinals,” Greenough
said. “Top to bottom we are one of
the best teams in the country.”
