    * UO aims for first Pac-10 wins
■The Oregon men sand
women’s tennis teams play
Washington and Washington
State this weekend
By Peter Martini
for the Emerald
The season has come down to
one match for the Oregon men’s
tennis team — the dreaded Wash
ington Huskies.
The Ducks travel to Seattle on
Saturday to face No. 34 Washing
ton to wrap up the regular season.
It will also be their last chance to
win a Pacific-10 Conference match
this season.
Oregon lost to Washington, 4-3,
at home in a nonconference match
in early February. In that match,
the Ducks jumped to an early lead
by winning the doubles point, but
lost four singles matches.
Last week, Oregon lost to No. 13
USC and No. 2 UCLA, but gained
some experience and confidence
that it’ll take into this weekend.
“We already played them this
year, so we are familiar with
them,” Oregon head coach Chris
Russell said. “We are a more expe
rienced team now than we were
when we lost 4-3 to them.”
Women host UW, WSU
The Oregon women’s tennis
team is hot right now and has two
chances left to win its first Pac-10
match in more than two years.
The No. 44 Ducks host No. 19
Washington and No. 30 Washing
ton, State this weekend. Oregon lost
at both schools in late February, but
head coach Jack Griffin feels his
team, which has won five matches
in a row, is a different team now.
“We are coming off of very fun
and emotional wins in Florida and
Louisiana,” Griffin said. “We are
stronger top to bottom now than
we were when we played them
earlier this season.”
Oregon, since adding newcom
er freshman Daria Panova, has
won five matches in the South, but
has yet to beat a Pac-10 team.
“It would be great to get a Pac
10 win my senior year,” senior
Janice Nyland said. “We feel we
can play in this conference, and
now it’s time to prove it.”
Both the men’s and women’s
teams will head down to Ojai,
Calif., on April 25 for the Pac-10
Championships.
Action begins Saturday at noon
against Washington and Sunday at
11 a.m. against Washington State.
“We are really excited about this
weekend’s matches,” Griffin said.
“We have a chance to pull off an up
set this weekend, and I hope we can
get a crowd out there to cheer us on.”

Parker has, perhaps, the best chance
to make a California impact. The foot
ball player will compete in only his
tiiird outdoor meet, and so far he has
impressed in his third season on the
track squad. He ran a wind-aided
10.47 in March, and ran 10.76 at the
Washington Dual on Saturday.
Harris will be looking to land on
the NCAA provisional list after
matching the minimum time at
the Washington Dual. Harris ran in
the NCAA Championships last
season in the hurdles. Fellow hur
dler Ellis is looking to improve his
Pacific-10 Championships quali
fying time to an NCAA mark.
But of the runners headed to
California, the biggest impact this
spring was made by sophomore
Holliday at the Washington Dual.
Holliday ran a thrilling 400 hur
dles race and notched a time that
was less than a second off the
NCAA provisional mark of 51.20.
“For me it’s all about the time,”
Holliday said. “I just want to qual
ify for the NCAAs.”
Holliday qualified for the Pac
10 Championships last season, but
didn’t make the trip to Stanford
because of the conference’s 24-ath
lete per team limit.

Confident Duck golfers
to play final tournament
■Men’s golf looks to keep
momentum at the U.S.
Intercollegiate, the team’s
final tune-up before Pac-1 Os
By Jesse Thomas
for the Emerald
The Oregon men’s golf team
hopes to keep the ball rolling as
they enter the U.S. Intercollegiate
this weekend, their last regular sea
son tournament.
Oregon has finished in the top
six in the last four tournaments and
looks to extend that one more Sat
urday and Sunday. The tournament
is hosted by Stanford on the Cardi
nal’s 6,835-yard, par 71 golf course.
“We are playing with more con
fidence,” Oregon head coach Steve
Nosier said. “We are into a roll and
better prepared.”
The Ducks will be sending the
same five golfers who have made
Oregon successful in its past four
tournaments. Senior Aaron Byers
will play at No. 1 with a 72.1
strokes per round average.
Joining him will be juniors
John Ellis (72.7) and Chris Carna
han (73.2), senior Brandon Ham
den (73.8) and sophomore Mike
Sica (75.3).
In the busy schedule they’ve had
in the past six weeks, the Ducks
have finished second at the Cleve
land Southwest Invitational March
4-5 and won the Oregon Duck Invi
tational March 25-26.
Oregon took sixth after a rough
final round at the Western Inter
collegiate on April 9, and was
fourth at last week’s ASU Thun
derbird Invitational.
“We’ve been on a busy schedule,
but I think we’re mature enough to
be ready to play at Stanford,”
Nosier said. “It’s a good course and
fits our game well.”
The men will compete against a
competitive 16-team field, includ
ing No. 9 USC and No. 19 San
Diego State. The Ducks and Wash
ington State, are just outside of this
week’s Golfweek/Sagarin top 25 .
The U.S. Intercollegiate will be
Oregon’s last chance to perfect its
game as postseason begins April 25
with the Pac-10 Championships.
The Ducks have been gearing up
all year for the Pac-10 tournament
and are confident as they will be
competing close to home — at the
Trysting Tree Golf Course in Corval
lis. Oregon is almost guaranteed a
spot in the NCAA West Regional,
which will be held May 16-18 in
New Mexico.
“I have all the confidence in the
world that we will play well,”
Nosier said.
