Tennis faces UW, WSU
The No. 35 Oregon women
are on the road against No. 21
Washington and No. 40
Washington State this weekend

The last time the No. 35 Oregon
women’s tennis team won a match
was against Washington State on Feb.
23. This weekend’s trip to Washing
ton, then, might be the best way to
end the Ducks’ four-game skid.
The Ducks take on No. 21 Wash
ington in Seattle on Saturday. The
last time the Ducks played the
Huskies, Oregon lost 6-1 at the Stu
dent Tennis Center.
The Ducks, led by No. 18 Daria
Panova, are looking to improve on
their 2-6 record in the Pacific-10
Conference and 9-7 overall record.
Panova has struggled along with
her teammates, as she went winless
last weekend for the first time all sea
son. Panova fell to No. 4 Jewel Peter
son of USG and No. 31 Jackie Car
letonofUGLA.
The No. 21 Huskies are 8-1 this
season and currently on a six-game
winning streak. Led by No. 36 Claire
Carter, the Huskies have an upset
over then-No. 12 Northwestern and
have been ranked as high as No. 15
in the nation.
“We don’t worry about the rank
ings,” head coach Nils Schyllander
said. “We focus on our own game.”
Duck junior Courtney Nagle,
ranked 40th in the nation, will likely
battle No. 87 Dea Sumantri in singles
and team up with Panova to take on
No. 9 Carter/Darija Klaic in doubles.
Klaic is also ranked No. 95 in singles
competition and will most likely play
Duck senior captain Monika Geiczys.
Sunday, the Ducks head to Pull
man as they attempt to sweep the No.
40 Washington State Cougars in their
season series.
The Cougars are coming off a 6-1
victory over San Diego and looking to
upset the Ducks and avenge their 5-2
loss in Eugene last month.
Currently, Washington St. doesn’t
have any athletes in the national
rankings, but is led by junior Lorena
Arias, who was ranked No. 77 in the
preseason polls. Nagle defeated Arias
in straight sets the last time the
Ducks battled the Cougars.
The Ducks are counting on strong
doubles play to give them an edge early.
“Winning the doubles point is big
for momentum,” Schyllander said.
Lately, the Ducks have struggled
with taking two of the three doubles
matches to earn that crucial point.
They haven’t won the doubles point
since the win over Washington State.
The No. 64 men’s team is on a
break from competition and will re
sume March 25 against California
Riverside and San Francisco. Duck
sophomore Manuel Kost, No. 104
nationally, moved back into the
rankings this week after starting out
the season at No. 64.

of time the get the shot off. And for
tunately, thank the Lord, it went in.”
Ridnour, who said he was fouled
by Smith on the play (”I got some
big scratches,” Ridnour said),
paced the Ducks with 23 points
and six assists.
“I could’ve kissed him right
then,” Joseph said. “That was a hell
of a shot.”
Jackson finished with 17 points,
Davis added 16, and Joseph gave
the Ducks a boost off the bench by
playing the entire second half.
Johnson had 13 points, 11 re
bounds and a tough defensive as
signment in Diogu. Millage had 25
points for the Sun Devils.
Two Ridnour free throws capped
off a 10-1 Oregon run midway
through the second half to put the
Ducks ahead 67-59, their largest
lead of the game. Arizona State led
41-40 at halftime and led by as
much as eight in the first half.
“We didn’t play that good in the
first half,” Joseph said. “In the
second half, we just had that
sense of urgency that we need this
win or we go home. And we
played real good with our backs
against the wall.
“We really needed this for the
(NCAA) tournament, and this pret
ty much guarantees us. But we still
want to win the Pac-10.”
