Didn’t get a ticket for the basket
ball game this weekend? Don’t wor
ry, there’s plenty of Duck tennis to
fill the live-sports void.
The No. 49 women kick the week
end off with a match against No. 75
Sacramento State at 6:30 p.m. Fri
day. They continue the long week
end when they take on Pacific at 1
p.m. Saturday and No. 71 Califomia
Irvine and Portland State at 9 a.m.
and 6 p.m., respectively, on Sunday.
Sacramento State is led by No. 51

Softball takes on
Seminole Classic
The Oregon softball team is head
ed in the right direction under new
head coach Kathy Arendsen, and
the Seminole Classic will give Ore
gon its first taste of ranked teams.
In the Ducks’ first preseason tour
nament, they earned a 4-1 record.
The team’s only loss came to
Arkansas in the final game of the
Southwest Texas/CenturyTel Clas
sic, 3-1.
Today, Oregon faces off against
lmany Chang.
The Ducks, led by No. 28 Daria
Panova, are coming off a successful
weekend at the Student Tennis Cen
ter, during which they won two
matches without losing a set.
Panova is on a nine-game singles
winning streak, while senior Moni
ka Gieczys and junior Courtney
Nagle are both 3-1 in the young reg
ular season.
The No. 72 men will work their
way into the big tennis weekend by
taking on Portland on Saturday after
winning two matches on the road
last weekend.
“We are looking for guys to not
expect things to be easy because of
two recent wins,” head coach Chris
Russell said. “We had guys that
won last weekend that didn’t do all
the things that they were supposed
to, so hopefully they desire contin
ued improvement.”
The Ducks will look to freshmen
Thomas Bieri and Arron Spencer,
both 4-0 in singles play, to continue
their dominance as senior Oded Teig
chases the Oregon singles victories
record from the No. 1 spot.
Despite their recent successes,
the Ducks aren’t looking past any
opponents.
“We have a tough schedule,”
Russell said. “So if we are process
ing the right stuff, we will be very
competitive.
“We have a bunch of guys who have
the ability to be playing at a different
level come late March through May.”
No. 64 Manuel Kost returned from
an abdominal injury last weekend to
pick up wins in his first two matches
of the regular season and sophomore
Sven Swinnen looks to improve on his
own two game win streak.
All matches will be held at the Stu
dent Tennis Center, located behind
McArthur Court.

Southeastern Louisiana and No. 9
Florida State. Saturday the Ducks bat
de No. 17 Georgia and Florida A&M.
The tournament is the second of
the preseason for the Ducks. Oregon
will play in six preseason tourna
ments on six consecutive weekends
before conference play begins in
mid-March.
Four pitchers split the team’s four
wins at the SWT/CenturyTel Classic.
Oregon won its first game 10-0
against Texas A&M — Corpus
Christi. The Ducks’ next three
games — against Texas Tech, South
west Texas State and Houston —
each ended with a 2-1 final score in
Oregon’s favor.
Woman trackster heads

Junior Abby Andrus travels to
Pocatello, Idaho for the Mountain
State Games that begin today.
The pentathlon competition con
tinues through Saturday, with Andrus
the only Oregon representative.
The men will send participants to
the Iowa State Classic on Feb. 14,
while the women will send athletes

first five minutes and then we start

Yet Oregon stood strong through
the first 12 minutes off three three
pointers by sophomore Brandi
Davis and solid play by the other
Duck starters.
The Ducks suffered as the four
player bench hurt them, and the of
fense was not executing as it began.
The Cardinal had everything going
their way in the final minutes and
went on an 11-0 run at one point to
lead 40-28.
Oregon did not weather the
storm, as the Ducks headed to the
locker room down 45-28.
Stanford had sizzled through the
first 20 minutes, shooting over 66
percent from the field and outre
bounding the Ducks 17-8.
Freshman Carolyn Ganes would
get the first bucket of the second
half to bring Oregon within 15
points and let hope linger that a
comeback was possible.
The Cardinal quickly tried to
break Oregon’s spirit after the first
six minutes, by upping their lead to
56-34. The Ducks could never get
closer than 20 after that point, de
spite all their efforts.
“The most important thing right
now for us is to recoup and recharge
those batteries because they are on
low,” Smith said. “This was going to
catch up to us sooner or later in this
long Pac-10 season.”
Oregon finished its night shooting
35.7 percent from the field after
shooting over 40 percent in the first
half. The Ducks were over 80 per
cent from the foul line, yet lost the
battle of the boards again, 39-22.
The Ducks were led by Ganes and
sophomore Amy Taylor with 10
points on the night. Taylor matched
her career-high with her double-fig

ure output. Davis, who had a quick
nine points to start the night, did
not score after the first 10 minutes,
and ended up shooting just 3-for-14
from the field.
Not surprisingly, Powell set the
pace for Stanford with 15 points in
her 30 minutes, along with sopho
more Kelley Suminski, who also
added 15. Sophomore Azella Perry
man added a solid performance
with 14 points, eight rebounds and
shot 6-of-6 from the charity line.
The Cardinal finished the night
shooting 56.4 percent from the
field along with nine bombs from
downtown.
Oregon must now recover from
the tough loss and get ready to face
California on Saturday in Berkeley.
The Ducks defeated Cal in the
teams’ first matchup Jan. 9 at
McArthur Court.
