Golfers head to Hawaiian paradise
Senior John Ellis leads Oregon
into a 26-team tournament
with some top competition
Men’s golf

Freelance Sports Reporter
After its worst finish yet in the
2002-03 season, the Oregon men’s
golf team travels to Hawaii today
for its second tournament of the
spring season.
The Taylor MadeAVaikoloa Inter
collegiate in Waikoloa, will take
place at two golf courses over three
rounds. The par-72, 6,594 King’s
Course and the par-70, 6,566
Beach Course will be featured. Ore
gon, which opened the spring por
tion of its season last week in Ari
zona, looks to rebound in the
three-day tournament.
For the second-straight week,
Oregon will face some of the top
teams in the nation. Included in the
26-team field will be No. 3 Texas
Christian, No. 12 UCLA, No. 18 Pep
perdine, No. 20 Arkansas, No. 21
Georgia Tech, No. 23 Baylor and No.
25 Washington. Also of note are two
time defending Pacific-10 confer
ence champion USC, Arizona State,
Oregon State, Stanford and Nagora,
a team from Japan.
The Ducks, who finished 14th in
last week’s Ping Arizona Intercolle
giate tournament will send four of
the same five members this week
to Hawaii. Senior John Ellis, who
tied for 33rd last week at Arizona,
senior Chris Carnahan, junior Jim
my White and freshman Gregg
LaVoie will be competing in their
second tournament of the spring
season, while junior Mike Sica will
participate in his first tournament
of the spring.
Ellis, Oregon’s most consistent
player this season, leads the team
with an average 71.9 strokes per
round, followed by Carnahan at
73.2. White isn’t far behind with an
average of 74.2, LaVoie is at 74.9 and
Sica is at 75.0.
“I thought we had a pretty good
performance out of our seniors
last week,” head coach Steve
Nosier said. “This is our longest
trip of the year, and I think we
have a pretty competitive group
going to Hawaii.”
The Ducks look to improve on
what could have been their fifth
consecutive top-10 tournament fin
ish this season in Arizona. They
finished the first round four strokes
out of a top five finish. However,
the Ducks struggled in their last
two rounds, finishing 14th out of 16
teams. Ellis finished tied for 33rd,
while Carnahan finished in 38th
and White at 47th.

Sports brief
UO pitcher
earns honor
Freshman pitcher Amy Harris
was named the Pacific-10 Confer
ence Pitcher of the Week on Tues
day for her performance in
Oregon’s Seminole Classic win
last weekend.
Harris won two games for the
Ducks against No. 9 Florida State
and No. 17 Georgia as Oregon swept
through the Seminole Classic and
improved to 8-1 on the season. She
gave up only one run in her start
against the Seminoles and held the
Bulldogs scoreless in seven innings
of relief work as the teams battled for
12 long innings Saturday.
It was the first time the Pac-10 has
given out player-of-the-week honors
this season.
Harris is a big reason the Ducks
are off to such a successful start. The
highly-touted recruit out of North
Eugene High School has pitched
27.9 innings — by eight innings the
most on the team — and has a 0.65
ERA. She holds a 3-1 record, but
gave up only one earned run in Ore
gon’s 3-1 loss to Arkansas, a game
that had several Duck errors.
The softball team will head to
San Diego for its third tournament
of the season this weekend, start
ing Friday.

stuck in a lag is never a good thing.
With San Francisco, Erickson in
herits a team that has plenty of tal
ent, but very little chemistry. The
team’s quarterback, Jeff Garcia, re
cendy criticized the team because it
didn’t seem to have a direction
when it came to its search.
Then, of course, there’s Terrell
Owens, and even though he is tal
ented, he is an enigma. No one
ever seems to be able to guess
which way he’s going to go, both on
the field and off it.
So, when you break it down, it’s
not so hard to see why Erickson
jumped to the 49ers, despite the
team’s bumbling ownership.
It’s going to be interesting to see
if Erickson will have more success
than departed coach Steve Mariuc
ci. It’s Erickson’s second job in the
NFL, and the first didn’t pan out
too well. But San Francisco isn’t
Seattle, and Erickson is more ex
perienced than his first experience
in the big time.
The first year should be interesting.
At least the Niners didn’t hire
Neuheisel.

move up to sixth place in the Pac
10 standings, and three home wins
would bring the Ducks to .500 in
conference play.
Setting
a milestone
Ganes currently ranks third in
the Pac-10 standings with a free
throw percentage of .894. She fol
lows Nicole Powell and Kelley Sum
inski of Stanford, but only by a close
margin, with the leader at .911.
If Gianes can work her way to the
top she would be the first-ever Ore
gon freshman to win the free-throw
percentage tide.
