Schofield. Conor Schofield, a
junior midfielder, said he enjoys
playing with his younger brother,
who is a sophomore.
“We definitely have a field sense
together,” Conor Schofield said. “I
play on midfield and he plays attack
so we get a lot of hook-ups. ”
Taylor Schofield, who leads the
Ducks with 18 goals, said he enjoys the
skills and toughness that are needed to
be a successful lacrosse player.

to five years probation, about half
of which has been served.
On Friday, a Lancaster, Calif.,
judge reduced Woods’ conviction in
a hearing that lasted a little more
than an hour.
James E. Blatt, Woods’ lawyer,
pleaded that his client be given a
second chance and argued that his
client had made significant progress
since his release.

way it was going to go until the

The Ducks face Western Washing
ton at home Saturday at 2 p.m. at the
turf field. With the season off to a
good start, the Ducks are looking to
advance to the PNCLL tournament
and hopefully on to the USILA na
tional tournament May 7-10 in St.
Louis. A strong finish to the season
could attract the attention the Ducks
need to help bring a men’s varsity
program in the future.
“We’re kicking ass this year,” Tay
lor Schofield said. “I hope the Oregon
lacrosse program keeps growing.”

more than three years, said he be
lieved the judge looked at all the cir
cumstances before making a deci

Blatt said, Woods has acted in a so
cially acceptable way, has not vio
lated his parole and has placed an
importance on higher education.
“His actions spoke volumes,”
Blatt said.
As part of the agreement, Woods
must take 26 anger management
classes and will remain on the terms
of his probation from the felony
conviction. Woods could go back to
jail if he violates the terms of his
probation, even though, legally, the

“I’m very confident that he’ll do
very well (in Oregon), both academ
ically and athletically,” Blatt said.
But others don’t believe Woods’
conviction should have been
reduced.
Grime Victims United, a group
from Lake Oswego that works to en
sure victims’ rights, sent a letter to
Woods’ hearing urging the judge to
let the conviction stand.
“I think some people, with all due
respect, are missing the big pic

the group.

Bellotti said he hopes people will

said. “And I think he’s willing to
