Senior Chris Carnahan and redshirt freshman Kyle
Johnson led the Ducks to fifth place after 36 holes of the
Windon Memorial Classic Monday at Glen View Club in
Glenview, 111.
Carnahan, a co-captain and three-time All-Pacific-10
Conference selection, fired a 2-under-par 142 and was
tied for third with two other golfers, two strokes behind
Northwestern’s Tom Johnson. Carnahan finished with a
2-over 74 in his first round, but bounced back with the
lowest round of the day, a 4-under 68 over the second
18 holes.
Johnson, who made his collegiate debut Monday, shot
a pair of even-par 72s to end the day in a seven-way tie
for ninth place.
“Chris (Carnahan) had a great afternoon,” Oregon
head coach Steve Nosier said. “Typical of what you
would expect out of a fifth-year senior. And I’m absolute
ly ecstatic about how Kyle Johnson is playing in his first
college tournament.”
Host Northwestern took a first-day lead at 3-under
573. The Ducks trail by 11 strokes after carding a 584.
Duke is in second and five strokes back at 578, followed
by Stanford at 582 and North Florida at 583.
“We’re not in bad shape,” Nosier said. “We had a little
trouble getting a fourth score in the afternoon, but I
think we can make it up tomorrow.”
Senior co-captain and two-time All-Pac-10 selection
John Ellis was tied for 17th with a 2-over 146. True fresh
man Gregg LaVoie, who Nosier expects to be an “impact
player right off the bat,” was tied for 42nd after an 8-over
152. LaVoie was even-par after his first round, but strug
gled with a second round 80. Redshirt freshman Chris
Dukeminier, a Sheldon High School graduate, was tied
for 59th with a 13-over 157.
Oklahoma State, ranked 5th in the nation by the Pre
cept Golf Coaches Association of America Poll, was in 7th.
Kent State, the only team among the field of 13 to win
a Windon Memorial Classic tournament, doing so in
1993 and 1999, finished 12th.
The Glen View course measures 6,750 yards and is a
par-72 with a course rating of 71.9 and a slope of 135. It
was host to the first Western Open in 1899, the 1902 U.S.
Amateur and the 1904 U.S. Open.
The tournament will conclude today with 18 holes.

lot of us last year, and now they
know we have a returning All-Ameri
can and are returning (league)
champions. We have a chance of re
peating. We are in great shape due to
(new conditioning coach) Manase
Latu. He is a tremendous asset to
our team, and without him I’m not
sure where we would be.”
How does an All-American
improve?
“I can be a better team leader and
read the field better,” Kelly said. “I
need to learn the game better. I don’t
think I deserved the (All-American)
honor. A lot of girls on this team de
served the award as well, and they
were overlooked.”
Overlooked? As a team, it doesn’t
seem like Oregon will have that
problem this season.

The Oregon women's rugby Ducks say they are ready for a 2002 season of high
expectations. The team finished first in the Northwest region last year.

came up with 15 followed by junior
Heather Gilmore’s 13.
“It was definitely a better balance,”
Gloss said about Oregon’s offense.
Freshman Jodi Bell, further show
ing the promise that she carried
upon her arrival into the Oregon
program, was credited with 36 as
sists and one service ace.
Defensively, the Ducks teamed
for 62 total digs, led by Gilmore’s 13.
Oregon started games 1 and 2
with four-point scoring runs only to
be rebuffed by the Portland offense.
In game 1, the Ducks and Pilots du
eled to the end with Oregon outlast
ing Portland on the Pilots’ serve and
attack errors.
Game 2 proved to be even tougher
for the Ducks to move ahead. Two
four-point runs propelled Oregon to
an 8-2 lead early on.
The Ducks would eventually
make it 20-13 in their favor, but hit
a roadblock on the way to the win.
Portland reeled off five straight
points to come within two and later
pulled ahead 23-21 on Gilmore’s
attack error.
“Scoring runs allow separation,
that’s basically how it works,” Ore
gon head coach Carl Ferreira said.
“In games 1 and 2,1 think we got out
to big leads and then they got scor
ing runs to get back. We were very
fortunate to win game 2 because we
had 14 hitting errors.”
True to Ferreira’s words, the
Ducks struck back late in the game
with a four-point streak, setting up a
situation similar to the California
match. After the score was knotted
at 29, the lead changed hands four
times, finally broken by senior Syd
ney Chute’s kill.
“We’re never surprised about how
to execute in late game situations,”
Ferreira said. “They were able to
draw back and gain strength (in
the end).”
After falling to Portland in an
even tougher game 3, Russell and
Closs broke through the Pilot de
fense in game 4 to pull the Ducks to
the victory. Russell chipped in with
five kills during the frame and Closs
had four.
“It was good to play somebody
here at Mac Court and have our
fans,” Russell said. “It’s so great to
get a win here.”
The match marked the seventh
time this season Oregon has taken
an opponent to four games or more,

and the Ducks improved to 4-3 in

After hard losses to California and
Stanford over the weekend, Oregon
recognized the need to get another
win on the board, especially with ri
val Oregon State visiting Mac Court
on Thursday.
“It was definitely a win we need
ed to have,” Closs said.
