Year of the Duck
continued from page13A
Those doubts soon turned into the
most impressive win in school his
tory as the Ducks blew out the Buf
faloes, 38-16, and claimed their
highest-ever season-ending ranking
— No. 2 in the polls.
“This is the best place there is,
football wise, in the Pac-10 and
maybe even in the country,” Ore
gon Athletic Director Bill Moos
said after the Fiesta Bowl. “I am
very proud that we got out in front
(facilities-wise). We’ll continue to
stay initiative, we’ll continue to in
vest in our success, we won’t rest
on our laurels. We’ll have some
new surprises.”
Moos soon delivered on his
promise — perhaps even surprising
himself — as the Ernie Kent
coached basketball team quickly
jumped into the picture, and the
Ducks went 16-0 at McArthur
Court to capture the program’s first
Pac-10 title in 57 years.
Oregon’s fast-paced, highlight
reeled season continued into the
NCAA Tournament, where the
Ducks received their highest-ever
seed at No. 2. After defeating Mon
tana and Wake Forest in the first
two rounds, Oregon needed a last
second shot from Freddie Jones to
defeat Texas in the Sweet 16. The
Final Four was not to be, though, as
No. 1 Kansas out-dueled the Ducks,
104-83, in Madison, Wise. The
Ducks ended the year ranked No. 6,
their highest-ever ranking.
“I don’t think I’ve ever, ever,
been around a team like this be
fore,” Kent said after the Elite
Eight loss to Kansas.
Bev Smith could easily have
said the same after her first year as
head coach of the women’s basket
ball team. Smith inherited a pro
gram that had been to eight
straight NCAA Tournaments, but
a team that had been through a
controversial battle to oust former
coach Jody Runge.
At first, Smith’s tenure was filled
with inconsistency as the Oregon
women struggled to find their
game. But after ending the NCAA
Tournament streak, the Ducks set
tled for the Women’s National Invi
tation Tournament and made the
most of the opportunity.
Thanks to two game-winning
rr::"T
baskets by sophomore Cathrine
Kraayeveld, Oregon won five
games in the WNIT, four of which
the Ducks hosted at Mac Court, in
cluding the national title game
against Houston.
Senior Eugene Harris capped off
the wrestling season with a fourth
place finish at the NCAA meet, fin
ishing his final
season 33-5.
By April, the
Oregon suc
cess baton was
handed off to
the men’s track
team, which
finished sec
ond at the Pac
10 Champi
onships on
May 19 — de
spite being without Santiago
Lorenzo and John Stiegeler, 2001
national champions who went
down with injuries this year. For
the team’s success, Martin Smith
was named the Pac-10 Coach of
the Year.
At the na
tional meet,
Becky Holli
day led all Ore
gon athletes
with a third
place finish in
the pole vault,
while Jason
Hartmann,
Micah Harris,
Elisa Crumley
and Roslyn Lundeen all earned
All-American accolades.
Still not convinced about “The
Year of the Duck”? Oregon’s ten
nis teams may provide the best in
sight. A perennial bottom-dweller,
the women’s team defeated Wash
ington in late March to secure its
first Pac-10 win in two years. Fur
ther, the Oregon women advanced
to the NCAA Tournament, where
they upset No. 18 UNLV before
losing in the second round.
The Ducks were ranked No. 33 to
end the season. Like football and
men’s basketball, it was the highest
ever ranking for the women’s tennis
program — and cemented the
2001-02 year as the best in school
history. Period.
