UO tennis tunes up for Pac-10 tourney ■ I he Oregon tennis teams make a last run for the NCAAs in California and Washington TENNIS By Robbie McCallum Oregon Daily Emerald Who can think of a better way to prepare for the Pacific-10 Confer ence Championships than facing top competition ipr ^ in California? The Oregon women’s tennis team closes out its non-confer ence schedule this weekend near Ojai, Calif., the site of the 2001 Pac-10 Championships. Oregon (4-15) is hoping to gain momentum into the .Pac-lO Tourna ment and raise its stock for individ ual NCAA qualifiers. Among contenders for NCAA bids are junior Janice Nyland and sopho mores Monika Geiczys and Jeanette Mattsson. The trio has switched off for Oregon at the No. 1 singles posi tion this season and all have NCAA experience from last year’s team. Leading the Ducks in individual wins are freshmen Courtney Nagle (15-5) and Davinda Mendiburu (14-5). That group, along with juniors Adeline Arnaud and Vickie Gun narsson, will face a similar 6-15 UC Irvine team at the UCI Tennis Stadi um Saturday in Irvine, Calif. The Anteaters lost eight matches in a row during the season but have won their last two. No. 55 Jonni Seymour leads UC1 with a 15-6 record. On Sunday, the Ducks face No. 46 San Diego State at the Cox Arena Tennis Courts. The match is a return trip for Oregon, which played at the San Diego State Fall Classic in Octo ber. Duck players went 2-4 against the Aztecs earlier in the year. San Diego State (13-7) has won nine of its last 11 matches, winning the doubles point each team victory. Last season, Oregon defeated both San Diego State and UCI by scores of 6-3. Men close out regular season The Oregon men’s tennis team will have one last chance to upset its Northwest rival Washington, but it won’t be easy. The 8-12 Ducks look to end their regular season on a high note with a 1 p.m. match at Washington. Head coach Chris Russell and the Ducks have lost six straight matches but are still in the hunt for an NCAA berth. They will likely need an upset against No. 16 Washington. On Feb. 25, the Huskies handed the Ducks a 6-1 loss at home. But the Huskies are a different team than they were two months ago. Washington has since lost three of four matches and plummeted in the rankings from No. 9. Leading the Huskies are sopho mores Matt Hanlin (No. 42) and Andrej Bizjak (No. 49j, who will face Oregon’s Oded Teig and Mar tin Pawlowski. The men also travel to Ojai, Calif., next week for the Pac-10 Championships. 011488 Pipeline T THE REAL DEAL 14" Large 3-Item Pizza Plus 2 FREE 22 oz. Soft Drinks ONLY.
