Women’s lacrosse
captures victories
■The lacrosse team goes 2-0
while the dub cricket team
opens first season with a loss
By jesse Thomas
for the Emerald
With no difficulties and strong
play, the Oregon club women’s
lacrosse
team dis
posed of
both of its
challengers
who dared
to step foot
on its field
Saturday.
The Ducks demolished Pacific
Lutheran, 13-2, and delivered a
beating on Willamette with a final
score of 11-5.
“It was our best playing by far
this season,” freshman Sarah
Weller said. “We really came to
gether as a team.”
Outstanding players included
goalie Louisa Dorsch, mid-fielder
Erika Platano and freshman Kate
Regalduto, accompanied by an all
around great team effort.
The women have a young team
this year with several freshman, but
the baby Ducks have been able to
catch on quickly and be a great as
set to the performance of the team.
Both Pacific Lutheran and
Willamette are very inexperienced
and not on the same level as Ore
gon, which gave the Ducks a
chance to practice their set offense.
Oregon will need to perfect its
skills as best it can in preparation
for the Pacific Northwest Lacrosse
Associations Tournament this
weekend.
According to coordinator Terra
Cloyes, these victories were a good
way to get prepared for the tourna
ment, where the women hope to
play on this same intensity level.
Entering the tournament, Oregon
definitely has one thing on its
mind: crush Washington into the
ground. Due to two run-ins be
tween the two schools earlier this
season, the Ducks want to take re
venge upon the Huskies.
“Success for us would be beating
University of Washington,” Cloyes
said.
“We should do well, as long as
everyone stays focused,” Dorsch
said.
The women feel confident enter
ing this next challenge and one
thing is for sure: They are ready.
Cricket's inaugural season
opens with a loss
The Oregon club men’s cricket
team proudly competed in its first
game of the season Saturday
against the Gresham Cricket Club
in Gresham.
After hard fought play, though,
the Ducks were defeated 170 runs
to their 80.
“We learned a lot and it was a
very enjoyable game,”
batsman/wicketkeeper Iain John
ston said. “We represented the
University well.”
Captain Faisal Mirza and open
ing batsman Hatim Zariwala both
played strongly for the Ducks with
the help of their experience. The
men’s team is diverse with players
that constitute several continents of
the world with most having played
competitively at the college level
from schools abroad.
Through the diversity, though,
the men all have a passion to play
the game that brings them all to
gether.
“One of our main aspects is our
club spirit,” Johnston said.
But Oregon has realized there are
aspects to its game that need some
work in order to become stronger
and more competitive. The Dhcks
feel they need to work on their fun
damentals and simply practice
more. They used this first game as
a learning experience of how they
can better themselves.
Oregon has a long road ahead, as
it will compete until August, and
feels it can only become stronger as
the season progresses.
In Oregon’s first year as a club
sport, these Ducks are setting the
tone.

Social Security.

deferral, or call us for a free tax-savings calculator.

After-tax sav ings
In this hypothetical example, setting aside $100 a month
in a tax-deferred investment with an HVc return in a 28c/c
tax bracket shows better growth after 30 years than the
same net amount put into a savings account. Total returns
and principal value of investments will fluctuate, and yield
may vary. The chart above is presented for illustrative
