Canadian wins Masters
in playoff
AUGUSTA, Ga. — After a nearly
flawless round of golf on the
game’s grandest stage, Mike Weir’s
biggest putt of his career was a bo
gey tap-in.
The left-hander became the
first Canadian to win a major
title Sunday as he defeated Len
Mattiace on the first hole of a
sudden-death playoff.
The unlikely playoff was set up
by a Sunday vanishing act by
Tiger Woods. The game’s No. 1
player came in pursuit of an
unprecedented third consecutive
title. In position for a Sunday
run, Woods shot a 39 on the front
nine and was never a factor.

spirational player, Matt Short won

most improved player and Jordan
Kent won the Harry Ritchie Scholar

At the women’s basketball ban
quet Saturday, senior guard Alissa

as Ridnour, garnering the team’s
Most Valuable and Best Defensive
Player awards. Senior guard Kourt
ney Shreve won Most Inspirational
Player honors. Sophomore Amy
Taylor won the Most Improved
Player and Harry Ritchie Scholar
Athlete awards. The women also
voted Carolyn Ganes as Most Valu
able Newcomer.

Tennis loses two
in Los Angeles
The Oregon men’s tennis team
continued to struggle this weekend,
losing to No. 6 UCLA on Friday and
No. 23 USC on Saturday. The Ducks
lost both matches 6-1.
The losses extend Oregon’s losing
streak to six games, and the Ducks
have lost 10 of their last 11 overall.
In its current losing streak, Oregon
has been outscored 33-9.
The Ducks have one game re
maining before heading to the Pa
cific-10 Conference Champi
onships April 24. Oregon will host
Washington on Sunday at the Stu
dent Tennis Center.

new Oregon uniforms.
The Bruins managed an early 1-0
lead in the top of the third, but it didn’t
last long, and the Ducks scored three
in the bottom of the inning.
Sophomore Erin Goodell led off
with a walk and moved to second on a
sacrifice bunt.
UCLA gave senior Andrea Vidlund
an intentional walk, setting up a dou
ble play opportunity. Senior Alyssa
Laux took that away with her second
home run of the season—a three-run
shot to right center field.
Oregon padded its lead in the fourth
when freshman Beth Boskovich
scored on a home run to left center
field by Vidlund.
In the fifth, the Bruins added one
run on a solo home run.
Vidlund came in to pitch in the top
of the sixth, and with one out, UCLA
loaded the bases. The Bruins couldn’t

make anything of the situation,
though, as Vidlund struck out the next
two batters on six consecutive strikes.
The Ducks took a 5-2 lead into the
top of the seventh, but the cushion
wasn’t safe for long. UCLA’s leadoff hit
ter Natasha Watley made it to second
on a single with a missed throw. Watley
then scored on the next pitch as team
mate Caitlin Benyi singled to center.
Benyi moved up to second on Tairia
Mims’ single to right, but the Bruins’
life was cut by one as their next batter
struck out.
Stephanie Ramos—who had been
hit on the wrist by a pitch in the sec
ond inning — singled to left, and
Benyi scored. With Mims on second
and Ramos on first with only one out,
Vidlund got Toria Auelua to hit into a
double play — Oregon’s only double
play of the game — to end the inning
and earn Vidlund the save and fresh
man pitcher Amy Harris her second
conference win.
The rain helped Oregon get back
into a groove on Sunday, but couldn’t
change the Ducks’ luck as they lost
their second game in three days, 9-3.
The Bruins scored twice in the first,
second and fourth innings — but the
game was suspended for one hour and
15 minutes by a rain and hail delay at
the end of the fourth.
Once play resumed, Boskovich
broke up Bruin pitcher Keira Goerl’s
no-hitter with a double to center field.
Vidlund followed with a home run to
left center field, closing the gap to 6-2
for Oregon.
Despite a four-inning no-hitter,
Goerl was hardly perfect. The Bru
ins’ ace on a staff of two — Goerl
has pitched nearly three-fourths of
all possible innings for UCLA —
gave up seven walks in Oregon’s
four hitless innings and three more
between the fifth and seventh.
UCLA added three runs in the sev
enth inning. The Ducks answered
with a solo home run by Vidlund in
the bottom of the seventh, but could
n’t add any more in the loss.
In Friday’s game, the Ducks had an
opportunity to score in the first inning
with two runners on base, but were
unable to score a run.
No. 3 Washington, on the other
hand, had an endless supply of runs.
The Huskies scored twice in the first,
once in the third and fourth and closed
the game with five runs in the fifth.
The game was called after five in
nings, giving the Huskies a 9-0 win.
“I’m proud of these kids,” head
coach Kathy Arendsen said after the
Washington game. “We had oppor
tunities to score in the first inning
and we didn’t, but they kept bat
tling. I know that if we come out and
worry about our own performance
we can compete with anybody in
this conference.”
The Ducks take a mid-week break
from the Pac-10 and travel to Port
land State Wednesday. The teams
play a doubleheader that was origi
nally scheduled for April 1 but
rained out. Oregon returns home
Friday and Saturday for two games
against Oregon State.
