Oregon tennis plays well
in doubles but falls twice
■The Ducks win just one of 12
singles matches over the
weekend in losses to No. 7 ASU
and No: 44 Arizona
By Peter Martini

After twice putting themselves in
position to win, the Oregon
women’s tennis team lost two
matches during the weekend.
The Ducks lost 6-1 to No. 7 Ari
zona State and 5-2 to No. 44 Ari
zona as they opened the Pacific-10
Conference schedule.
“We played pretty well,” head
coach Jack Griffin said. “Both of
these teams are very good, and at
the end of the year, they’ll both be
in the top 20.”
Against Arizona on Sunday, Ore
gon won two out of three doubles
matches and jumped to a 1-0 lead
before singles play.
Oregon freshman Ester Bak and
senior Janice Nyland won a back
and-forth match, 9-7, over Maja
Mlakar and Debbie Larocque of
the Wildcats. Junior Monika
Gieczys and senior Vickie Gun
narsson easily won their doubles
match, 8-2.
“We played very tough in dou
bles,” Nyland said. “And we put
ourselves in a good position to beat
this team.”
The 1-0 lead quickly vanished
for the Ducks in singles. Nyland
lost her match to Mlakar 6-2, 6-2
and Bak lost her match 7-5, 6-3 to
Marie-Pier Pouliot of the Wild
cats. Oregon was then down 2-1.
Gunnarsson won her match over
Diane Hollands
6-3, 6-4 to even
the score, 2-2.
“I was hitting
the ball well and
was getting a lot
of depth,” Gun
narsson said. “I
was being aggres
sive, and I made most of my shots
to put her away.”
The Ducks looked to be in good
position to win with the score tied
at two and leading one set to none
in each of the next three singles
matches. Oregon only needed to
win two of them.
But the Ducks failed to capitalize
on the opportunity, losing all three.
“Our biggest problem today was
the unforced errors,” assistant
coach Nils Schyllander said. “We
gave them too many free points, and
the good teams will take advantage
of them and make you pay.”
Oregon did play well in doubles,
WOMEN’S
TENNIS
the matches that hurt them two
weeks ago in Southern California.
“I am pleased that we were able
to win the doubles point against
two very good teams,” Griffin said.
“Our doubles game is there,” Ny
land said. “Now we need to work
on our singles, which is traditional
ly our strength.”
Gunnarsson’s win on Sunday
was the only singles victory for the
Ducks during the weekend. Against
Arizona State on Friday, sopho
mores Davina Mendiburu and
Courtney Nagle won their doubles
match, 8-2, and Bak and Nyland
won 8-6 to take the doubles point
and a 1-0 lead.
The Ducks then lost all six sin
gles matches in straight sets.
Oregon’s record is now 6-3
overall and 0-2 in the Pac-10.
The Ducks host Nevada at 5
p.m. Thursday.
“I’m happy with our effort this
weekend,” Schyllander said. “We
put ourselves in position to beat
two very good teams. If we contin
ue to play with this intensity, espe
cially in doubles, and clean up our
errors, then we’ll be able to beat
teams of this caliber.”

Court on Feb. 7.
It’s a Stanford team that has no
foreseeable end. They’ve already
clinched the No. 1 seed in Pac-10
Tournament, and barring an upset,
will most likely host a regional se
ries in the NCAA version.
“Finally, I feel this is our year,”
Bethany Donaphin told the Stanford
Daily. “Our team is so excited and
we get along so well. The chemistry
is better than its ever been. We kind
of expected it (the conference cham
pionship) but it’s still so sweet.”
Bracket Baby
As most know, MacArthur Court
will host the first ever women’s
Pac-10 Tournament, beginning
March 1.
In the past, the team with the best
overall record automatically won
the conference’s title and automat
ic entry into the NCAA Tourna
ment. With the addition of the tour
nament, the team that goes all the
way gets the bid, while the teams
with the best regular season records
fall in behind.
If the tournament started today,
Arizona and Washington State
would face off in the first game of
the tournament, starting Friday, fol
lowed by UCLA and California.
The winner of UCLA-Cal would
take on Stanford the next day, with
Arizona State taking on the winner
between the Wildcats and Cougars.
Washington would take on Ore
gon State in the game featuring
seeds three and six, with USC and
Oregon finishing up Saturday night
at 8:15 p.m.
Whatever the result, the inaugural
Pac-10 Tournament is shaping up to
be an intense weekend of action.
