H e ld at the Lane County Fair &
Ducks double up on Tulsa
Swinnen and Teig win
a doubles match for Oregon
in the main draw of their
tournament in Tennessee
Tennis
Peter Hockaday
Sports Editor
Sven Swinnen and Oded Teig
may have slipped into the main
draw at the Icy Hot/ITA All-Ameri
can Championships, but when they
got there, they hardly slipped at all.
Swinnen and Teig won their first
round doubles match over Ryan
Livesay and Dustin Taylor of Tulsa,
8-6 on Thursday in Chattanooga,
Tenn. The tandem nearly turned
around to upset the No. 8-seeded
Carlos Lozano and Erik Nyman of
BYU, but the Ducks lost 8-6, ending
their tournament run.
“They’re making progress,” Oregon
head coach Chris Russell said. “They
rallied well today and played at a
whole different level than yesterday.”
Teig and Swinnen were the vic
tims of a stomach flu that affected
the entire Oregon team Wednesday,
and caused the Ducks to perform
poorly that day. But Swinnen and
Teig made the most of their “lucky
loser” ticket into the main draw by
performing well Thursday.
"They rallied well
today and played at
whole different level
than yesterday"
Chris Russell
Oregon head coach
On the singles side of the draw,
Oregon sophomore Manuel Kost
lost his first-round match to Bay
lor’s Benjamin Becker, 5-7, 6-4, 6
2. Becker was the No. 3 seed in the
tournament.
“It was very evident he’ll be at the
level he needs to be to win this
year,” Russell said of Kost.
The sophomore singles star will
continue his tournament in the
consolation rounds this weekend.
He takes on No. 40 Carlos Palencia
of Califomia-Santa Barbara today.
Panova ends run
Daria Panova, the top player on
the Oregon women’s tennis squad,
ended her run at the Riviera/ITA
All-American Championships with
a loss to Harvard’s Eva Wang, 6-2, 6
2, on Thursday.
Panova beat No. 88 Emily Marker
of Maryland earlier Thursday in Pa
cific Palisades, Calif., 7-6, 6-3.
Panova’s loss Thursday afternoon
was her fifth match in three days.
“She was feeling the fatigue from
all the sets she played earlier,” Ore
gon assistant coach Kathy Sell said.
“Overall, though, it was a great trip
and a great performance.”
Panova beat two ranked players
in the tournament, including No. 32
Anne Nguyen of Georgia.

Volleyball
continued from page 7 A
of it is the fun process of having a
program grow through recruiting.
You identify the type of athletes that
you feel it is going to take to succeed
at this level.
“For them to succeed at this level
right off the bat is the talent level they
bring to the program. It’s not neces
sarily as much as what you’ve taught
them to start with. That’s just the re
cruitment of quality players. They
have definitely helped influence the
program in a significant way.”
Naturally, playing the cream of the
Pac-10 crop would seem to be an in
timidating factor for some of Oregon’s
youngsters. But according to Bell, it
should be just another match.
“I just look across the net and
play as if it was anyone else,
whether it was Washington, Wash
ington State, or Stanford,” she said.
“It doesn’t matter. You just go out
there and play.”
The Bruins, who Oregon took to
four games last season at McArthur
Court before the Ducks eventually
tasted defeat, are 3-1 in their last
four matches, although the single
loss was to Stanford. UCLA has his
tory on its side with head coach
Andy Banachowski, who is in his
36th collegiate season and has an
all-time record of 929-227.
The Bruins also feature a bal
anced squad, led by senior Lauren
Fendrick, who needs just 52 digs to
become the 13th UCLA player of all
time to reach the 1,000-dig plateau.
But to the Ducks, the faces are
nameless and the teams record
less. Oregon treats each week as a
separate entity.
“We’re in the middle of the sea
son,” Ferreira said. “We focus on
this week the same way we fo
cused on last week, which is the
same way we focused on the first
week of competition in September.
You don’t change anything you’re
doing. I do think you end up mak
ing a transition, and I think the
transition is some of the things you
are able to do in your non-confer
ence schedule are not necessarily
some of the things you can do suc
cessfully in conference.”

Soccer
continued from page 7 A
if history repeats itself. Oregon blew
out Washington State 4-0 last year in
Pullman. The Cougars were victori
ous in 2000 in Eugene but in 1999,
the Ducks won 2-1 in overtime.
“They have been through the rig
ors as much as anyone else,” said
Oregon head coach Bill Steffen, re
ferring to the Cougars.
Washington State started the sea
son strong, but has lost four of its last
five en route to a 6-4-0 record. The
Cougars’ last win came against Gon
zaga, an 8-0 pounding on Sept. 22.
Oregon’s rivalry with the Wash
ington schools extends beyond this
history. Many of the Ducks have
competed with the Huskies and
Cougars in league or club play in the
past. It comes down to more than a
game for the Ducks, it’s a matter of
pride and bragging rights as well.
Junior forward Melissa Bennet
leads the way for Washington in
tonight’s match with 18 points and
10 assists under her belt already.
The Huskies can feel comfortable
with their defense with senior goal
keeper Hope Solo sporting a 1.14
goals-against-average and has
45 saves.
Solo has been a three-time Pac-10
first-team honoree and was the
league player of the year in 2001.
For the Cougars, junior forward
Nicole Wilcox leads the way in scor
ing with five goals and 32 shots fol
lowed by freshman forward Alix
Rustrum at four goals and five as
sists. Goalkeeper Sara Leibowitz is
a threat, as she has already posted
three shutouts and a 0.90 GAA in
eight of nine games starting.
Oregon is led by senior Amanda
Orand, who has two goals and five
shots on goal this season. Freshmen
midfielders Garlie Ashcraft and
Cristan Higa have also proven their
status as strong offensive players.
“We have good rivalries with
those two teams,” Steffen said.
“We’ll be pumped for them and
they’ll be pumped for us.”
