Mike Sica is No. 4. Redshirt freshman
Justin St. Glair makes his collegiate de
but in the No. 5 spot.
“This is our second event of the
year,” Oregon head coach Steve Nosier
said. “And we’ve changed our lineup a
little bit again to get a look at a couple
of the younger guys and I think that’s
typical of what you will see from us
throughout the fall.”
Like the men, the women’s team
won’t travel far as they compete in the
three-day Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitation
al at the Tacoma Country Club in
Tacoma, Wash.
The Ducks will feature three fresh

The Ducks are coming off a fourth
place finish at the season-opening
Shanico Invitational Sept. 16-17.
“I’m very pleased with how we start
ed the season,” Rouillard said. “I’m ex
cited to see what we can do at this tour
nament because we have a chance to
beat some teams we need to beat to get
into regionals.”

Oregon tennis standouts Oded
Teig and Sven Swinnen couldn’t
get past their opponents this week
end in the pre-qualifying singles
rounds of the 2002 Icy Hot/ITA
Men’s All-American Champi
onships in Chattanooga, Tenn.
The Ducks still have 63rd
ranked sophomore Manuel Kost
and the Teig/Swinnen doubles
team awaiting their draws.
Baylor’s Benedikt Dorsch
knocked out Teig in the first round
in straight sets (6-1, 6-2). Dorsch
has since won all of his matches in
straight sets as he looks forward to
the pre-qualifying finals.
Swinnen won his first match 6
2, 6-4 against Scott Green of Ohio
State on Friday. On Saturday,
Swinnen drew another Buckeye,
Paul Warkentin, and handled him
6-3, 4-6, 6-4. Texas’ Pete Stroer
dashed Swinnen’s singles hopes
by beating him 6-2, 6-2 early Sun
day morning.
Both Teig and Swinnen are still
awaiting their draw for the doubles
portion of the Icy Hot and will begin
qualifying-round play tomorrow.
They are vying for one of the eight
main-draw spots still available.
Kost will begin his first play of
the tournament Tuesday in the
singles qualifying round. His draw
will be determined later today.
The Oregon women’s tennis
team will begin its 2002-03 season
Tuesday with singles and doubles
matches in the Riviera/ITA All
American Championships at
UCLA. Daria Panova, ranked 44th
in the nation, and No. 37 doubles
team Courtney Nagle and Davina
Mendiburu are in the same boat as
Kost, Teig and Swinnen as they
await their pairings for the qualify
ing-singles round.
The women’s tournament is
headlined by No.l-ranked Vila
marie Castellvi of Tennessee,
Southern California’s fourth
ranked Jewel Peterson, No. 6 Sara
Walker of UCLA and Stanford’s
7th-ranked Erin Burdette on the
singles side. In doubles play, Van
derbilt’s Aleke Tsoubanos and Sara
Riske are ranked first in the nation
and considered the favorites to
win the Riviera. The No. 2 team of
Peterson and Tiffany Brymer from
USC will also be heavy favorites.
Stanford has won the most Riv
iera singles and doubles champi
onships, with eight victories.

Arizona
continued from page 7
five straight 100-yard rushing
games, tying a school record set by
Bobby Moore (now Ahmad Rashad)
in 1971.
“(Smith) was a wild man tonight,”
quarterback Jason Fife told The As
sociated Press.
In his inaugural Pac-10 start, Fife
rebounded from a mediocre first
half to throw for two touchdowns in
the second half. On the first play of
the fourth quarter, Fife hit freshman
Terrence Whitehead in the end
zone for a nine-yard touchdown, the
final score of the game.
“Jason matured in this game,”
Bellotti said. “His decision-making
improved — he was a little hesitant
early on but he threw the ball very
accurately and very well.”
Senior wide receiver Keenan
Howry grabbed his first touchdown
of the season on a 33-yard strike
from Fife with six minutes to play in
the third quarter.
Meanwhile, Arizona’s Bobby
Wade, the Pac-10 leading receiver,
torched Oregon freshmen comer
backs Aaron Gipson and Charles
Favroth for 151 yards on 12 catches.
Wade’s 16-yard touchdown re
ception from Arizona quarterback
Jason Johnson with 1:53 left in
first quarter gave the Wildcats a
14-7 lead.
“We played hard,” Wade told the
Associated Press. “Oregon is a great
team. They know how to win. When
the other team knows how to win
like that, a little adversity means
nothing to them.”
Smith scampered into the end
zone for a 10-yard score midway
through the second quarter to tie
the game at 14.
The Ducks took their first lead on
a career-best 53-yard field goal by
sophomore Jared Siegel with 39 sec
onds left in the first half.
For Arizona, Johnson completed
23-of-41 passes for 302 yards, but
was intercepted by safety Keith
Lewis in the third quarter. Arizona
redshirt freshman Mike Bell, making
his first start in place of injured tail
back Clarence Farmer, rushed for
just 54 yards on 21 carries.
“We went toe-to-toe with the No.
8 team in the nation for a long
time,” Johnson said. “It’s just one
play here or there. We feel like
we're close.”
In the rankings, the Ducks
jumped to No. 7 in The Associated
Press poll Sunday. Oregon’s next op
ponent, UCLA (4-1,1-0), which de
feated Oregon State 43-35 Saturday
in Corvallis, is ranked No. 25 in the
coaches’ poll.

midway through the third quarter
that included Smith runs for nine,
six and eight yards, and a Fife pass
to tight end George Wrighster for 19
yards. The touchdown play was a
Fife pass to Keenan Howry — the
senior receiver’s first touchdown all
season — over the middle for 34
yards. On that play, Fife stepped up
into the pocket and bought himself
enough time to get Howry open
downfield.
“Jason did a great job today of
feeling the pressure, stepping up
and utilizing the pocket,” Bellotti
said.
The second drive was a long, 12
play affair at the end of the third
quarter and beginning of the fourth
that ended in a five-yard Fife touch
down pass to end the scoring at 31

14. The drive included a crucial
fourth-and-one conversion — the
Ducks’ fourth conversion in four
fourth-down attempts this season —
by Smith that kept the drive alive.
On the other side of the ball, the
Oregon defensive line dominated
Arizona’s rushing attack, forcing the
Wildcats to go to the air offensively.
“We got pressure on him, got a
bunch of sacks,” Bellotti said. “We
did take the run away, and I give
credit to the front seven, they did a
great job.”
The Ducks sacked Wildcat quar
terback Jason Johnson five times for
a loss of 27 yards and held the Ari
zona rushing attack — already de
pleted with the loss of star running
back Clarence Farmer — to 30 net
yards on the evening.
The Ducks went into the week
end ranked second in the Pac-10
in rushing defense and held up
that reputation Saturday.
“We were down three defensive
ends today,” Beliotti said. “So I was
really pleased with that group of de
fensive linemen. I can’t say enough
about those kids, and our depth
there is amazing.”
The Ducks will need to keep up
their run-stopping pace to have a
chance against UCLA at the Rose
Bowl on Saturday. The Bruins ran
for 247 yards at Reser Stadium on
Saturday, as redshirt freshman
Tyler Ebell broke out for 203 yards.
UCLA quarterback Cory Paus also
threw for 378 yards in the offensive
spectacle.
“From what I saw, their offense
was pretty unstoppable today,” Bel
iotti said. “But we just have to take
care of business.”
