Club hockey checks Eagles
■The EMU Club Sports hockey team
dropped Eastern Washington
in consecutive games over the weekend
ByMindiRice
forthe Emerald
The Club Sports hockey team pulled the plug on
Eastern Washington in the first period Friday and
didn’t look back all weekend.
When the Ducks played the Eagles in Spokane in
October, Oregon lost both games. On Friday, they
came out seeking revenge
and got it with an 8-5 win at
Lane County Ice Arena.
“We came out flying,”
sophomore center Mike
Tomabene said.
During the physical first
period, the Ducks scored sev
en goals, including two from Tornabene and two
from senior forward Doug Washburn, while the
teams combined for 15 penalties.
Eastern Washington was determined to not be
kept scoreless. The Eagles made their first goal
eight seconds into the second period and scored
another 49 seconds later.
The second and third periods were both low
scoring and low in penalties. Eastern Washington
was able to score two more times before the Ducks
answered, scoring its eighth goal of the night
halfway through the third. With four minutes left
in the game, the Eagles ended the scoring with
their fifth goal on the night.
“We had a really solid showing,” said Torn
abene, who had a hat trick in Friday’s game.
Oregon started off strong again on Saturday,
scoring two unanswered goals and committing
only three penalties during the first period.
The Ducks didn’t let Eastern Washington get
the best of them during the second. The team
held the Eagles to one goal while also scoring
one of its own.
Oregon padded the game with two unan
swered, unassisted goals in the third period to
win 5-1.
Sophomore goalie Joe Fagliano had an out
standing game on Saturday, giving up one goal in
the middle of his 20 saves.
Oregon lost two defensemen, senior Tim Gib
bons and freshman Alex Pisciotta, to injury in the
last weekend of play in 2001. Over the break, the
Ducks picked up two new players in defenders jun
ior Cory Howard and freshman Eric York. Howard
played for Oregon during the 1999-00 season.
“The new guys stepped up big,” senior forward
Nathan Vogel said.
Point leaders on the weekend were Tornabene
with five goals and four assists and Washburn with
three goals and two assists. Andy Waldera con
tributed three goals and one assist to the effort.
The Ducks, who went into the weekend tied for
third place in the Pacific-8 Conference, are now
tied with Southern California for second.
“We’re really confident as a team going into
next weekend,” Vogel said.
Next weekend the Ducks play Stanford and
San Jose State in the Bay Area. In two weeks, Ore
gon will seek revenge against Washington for its
losses in November back home in Eugene.

As for the game, the Ducks weren’t particularly
pleased with their sloppy play against a Division
III opponent, but as Kent pointed out, “the more
important thing was to pay tribute to this great
building.”
At halftime, the former players and coaches
gathered at midcourt and introduced themselves
to the crowd.
When Oregon’s victory ended, the players
again went onto the floor where they could min
gle with one another, as well as the fans. Stories
were told, followed by laughter and hugs. Some
players exchanged numbers to keep in touch.
And then there was Dick, who never passed up
an opportunity to please a fan, causing his friend
to call him “Mr. Superstar.”
“It feels great,” Dick said. “I was pleased to see
all of the players. Not too many left in my age
group, though.”
Just then, 12-year-old Kate Carlson of Eugene
politely asked Dick to autograph the back of her
shirt. Dick obliged with a smile, and a memory
was made. 5
“He’s one of the older players, and I wanted to
make him feel special,” Carlson said.
On this night, she wasn’t alone.

Michigan finishes sweep
After beating the Ducks last Friday
night, the Michigan wrestling squad
headed up to Corvallis the next night
to face the Beavers and came away
with another win. The 25-14 loss
brought Oregon State’s record to 7-6,
but head coach Joe Wells was pleased
with his wrestlers.
“It was a good meet,” Wells said. “We
fought hard and I’m proud of our guys.”
The Beavers’ 184-pounder, Isaac We
ber, came up with a upset win over No. 2
Andy Hrovat, who pinned Oregon fresh
man Elias Soto at Mac Court on Friday.
Michigan’s Clark Forward (141
pounds), who lost a close 5-4 decision to
Oregon’s Brian Watson, was pinned on
Saturday night by the Beavers’ Casey
Horn 1:13 into the match.
The No. 2 wrestler in the nation, Otto
Olson barely came away with a victory
(3-2) against Oregon State’s 174-pounder
Nathan Coy.

Basketball
continued from page 13
night, Willamette actually led the Pac
10 powerhouse. The Bearcats’ B.J. Do
brkovsky and Brian Newton made back
to-back threes at the 16:53 mark to put
Willamette ahead, 6-4.
“Hey, all we wanted was to score the
first basket, call a timeout, go to half
court and take a picture,” Willamette
head coach Gordie James said with a
smile after the game.
The Bearcats forced Oregon’s Mark
Michaelis to miss a lay-up, then Luke
Jackson committed an offensive foul,
Jones missed a three, Robert Johnson
missed a lay-up and Willamette started a
three-on-one break with visions of up
sets dancing in their heads.
But Ryan Hepp threw the ball out of
bounds, Oregon scored on the next pos
session and the Bearcats were history, so
to speak.
Willamette’s poor shooting — James
said his team “shot like a Division III
squad” — eventually did the team in.
The Bearcats’ longest dry spell came
midway through the first half, after their
big run. Willamette went more than 10
minutes without a bucket, a drought that
was finally ended with a Dobrkovsky
lay-in at the 4:42 mark of the first frame.
While the Bearcats were stuck on six*
the Ducks scored 19 unanswered points
to firmly take hold of the game.
But the Oregon players weren’t daz
zling, either. Whereas five Ducks scored in
double figures against then-14th-ranked
Stanford on Saturday, only three reached
that mark against Willamette on Tuesday
night. Besides Jones’ 19, Ridnour added 14
points and James Davis netted 10.
The most spectacular play of the game
came, as usual, hum Jones, who passed Ter
rell Brandon on the all-time Oregon scoring
list with his performance Tuesday night.
With seven minutes elapsed in the
second half, Davis led a fast break,
dished a pass behind his back to Jones,
who thumped the ball home for his only
dunk of the game.
Several players saw more court time
than normal Tuesday night. Reserve
guard Anthony Lever saw the most
minutes, 28, and reserves Michaelis,
Jay Anderson, Ben Lindquist and Kris
tian Christiensen also notched several
minutes each.
All the players and coaches involved
agreed that the game’s importance rested
not in the play on the court, but in the
significance of Mac Court’s birthday.
“We said before the game, ‘This is a
celebration. This is special,’’’ James said.
“To represent Willamette in this game
was truly special. ”
“This game was about all of these peo
ple who have gone through this program
and made it what it is,” Kent said. “It
was about much more than this Oregon
basketball team. ”
And, like those pulled-up socks
donned by several of the Oregon players,
the Ducks can only forget and move on.
“That was a one-game trail basis,”
Jones said about the socks. “And
it failed.”
