Club water polo has high hopes for tourney
■ Both the women’s water
polo and Ultimate Frisbee
squads will compete against
top-notch teams this weekend
By Jesse Thomas
for the Emerald
Having proved itself so far, the
Oregon club sports women’s water
polo team enters this weekend’s
Regional Championships ranked
first.
But the biggest challenge for the
Ducks will be to again beat Wash
ington, who
they expect
to be their
toughest
competi
tion. The
Huskies
will travel to Federal Way, Wash.,
ranked second and as the defend
ing national champions from a
year ago.
“We’re mostly concerned with
the Washington team,” Oregon
coach Lea Bonebrake said. “It
won’t be an easy game, and we
can’t let them take control.”
The Ducks just recently gar
nered their highest national rank
ing of the season at sixth with the
Huskies close behind at ninth. The
other teams the women will meet
at the championships are Oregon
State, Simon Frasier and Western
Washington.
“It always feels good to be
placed at the top,” sophomore
Kristi Neidig said. “Hopefully, it’s
intimidating to other teams.”
The Ducks feel confident,
thanks to the experience they re
ceived from playing some of the
best varsity teams in a tournament
at Santa Cruz, Calif., and also be
cause of the. way they have pre
pared during practices this week.
If Oregon is successful in its chal
lenge this weekend and takes first
place, it will advance to nationals,
which takes place May 5-6. Even if
tJie Ducks were to finish second,
they could still receive a wild-card
bid to the prestigious end-of-the
year tournament at Miami of Ohio.
So the challenge to advance be
gins this weekend as the women
enter the tournament ranked first
and plan to leave in the same fash
ion. It appears to these Ducks that
the only thing they have standing
in their way is the Huskies, who
will seek revenge after losing once
to Oregon earlier in the season.
“My gut feeling is we’re going to
do it,” Bonebrake said. “When I
watch them play, there is just this
feeling that nothing can stop
them.”
Women’s Ultimate
to test its skills
The Oregon club sports women’s
Ultimate Frisbee team will be com
peting against the best of the best in
an open tournament this weekend
in Davis, Calif.
Not only will the women be play
ing other college teams on their lev
el, but they will go head-to-head
with club teams comprised mainly
of adults who have already gradu
ated.
“This will be much more diffi
cult than a typical collegiate tour
nament,” Oregon coach Rachelle
Depper said.
The Ducks plan to win their
games against other college teams
and hope for the best against the
club teams while gaining valuable
experience. The biggest competi
tion the women will have in the
collegiate level Will come from
Stanford, UG-Santa Cruz and
British Columbia.
“You learn by playing the best,”
Depper said.
The Ducks have a well-balanced
team this year as the freshmen have
helped greatly by stepping up and
contributing, according to Depper.
Although the team has been strong,
Oregon has been plagued by a total
of six serious injuries this season,
including ACL tears and broken
metatarsals and patellas.
Looking ahead, the Ducks will
compete in the sectionals on April
15 and then the regionals will take
place May 3-4.
If they compete as well as they
hope in regionals, the Ducks will
move on to Boston, Mass., for the
coveted nationals on Memorial Day
weekend.

an easy year, but your skills will certainly im
prove. You might even get to Carnegie Hall.
Practice, practice, practice! Your first attempts
may be quite awkward in April, but you sure

critical relative proves inspirational in July and
helps you prepare for the real test in September.
In December, take time for yourself and consid
er a radical change of scenery. By February,
you've reached a new level and get to play with
the big kids. Save part of March for smelling the
roses and resting on your laurels.
