Andrews leads UO golf early
A sluggish fall season has the
men looking toward the future;
the women look to repeat
their fast start in the spring
By Brian Smith
Freelance Reporter
The 2003-04 fall golf season saw
the Oregon golf teams going in oppo
site directions.
DUCK
Fielding relatively young squads,
_ the women
started the sea
son with their
first team title
since the 2000
Lady Aztec In
vitational. In contrast, the men strug
gled to a lOth-place finish at theTopy
Cup inTanagura, Japan.
"It was important that we got off to a
strong start," Oregon women's head
coach Shannon Rouillard said. "I told
the girls that if we play well, we would
have a chance to win the tournament."
Ifiey responded, jumping out to
grab the opening-day lead of the Lady
Vandal Invitational. They held on to
win, mainly behind the strong play of
the team but in particular because of
sophomore Erin Andrews. Andrews
grabbed her first collegiate victory and
the first individual tide for an Oregon
golfer since Jerilyn White won the 2001
Peg Barnard California Collegiate.
Andrews, who had been ranked as
high as 33rd this season, continued to
impress throughout the fall. She fol
lowed up her win with finishes of 12th
at the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational,
20th at the Stanford/Pepsi Collegiate —
which included a NCAA champi
onship-caliber field — and a 21st-place
finish at the Hawaii Fall Golf Classic.
The Ducks took the momentum
they created and carried it through the
four fall tournaments, capturing three
more top-ten finishes along the way.
The Ducks received outstanding play
from the entire team, including fresh
man Kimberly McCready, who Rouil
lard said "has had tremendous impart
on our team and has really elevated
her game from high school."
The Ducks are looking to shore up
some of their fundamentals during
the winter before focusing on reach
ing their first NCAA championship
berth since 2000.
The Oregon men, coming off of their
surprising entry in last year's NCAA
championships, looked to start strong.
A lOth-place finish at the Topy Cup in
Japan, along with finishes of ninth or
worse in three of the final four tourna
ments, never gave the Ducks the mo
mentum they were looking for.
"We did not have the finishes that we
are happy or satisfied with/' Oregon
men's head coach Steve Nosier said.
"Our goal each and every year is to make
it into post-season play and to make
each tournament a learning experience"
A learning experience is the biggest
positive that can be taken away by a
team that includes six freshman and
four sophomores.
"The group as a whole played
hard," Nosier said. "Each member of
the team is playing a lot, which is
good in the long run because it means
more experience for the individual."
Seniors Jimmy White and Mike Sica
provided the most consistent play of
the fall. White played the best golf, fin
ishing in the top-20 in two of the five
events he played in. His fourth-place
finish at the Northwest Collegiate Clas
sic included a final-round 63, which set
the school record for the lowest single
round score in Oregon history.
White's 63 coincided with the
team's only top-five finish of the fall.
The Ducks will come back in the
spring looking to find a way to gain
some momentum for a difficult post
season run. The women return to play
Feb. 27 at the Pinehurst Challenge in
Pinehurst, N.C., while the men open
at the Ping Arizona Intercollegiate in
Tucson, Ariz., on Feb. 2.

two classes are combined together."
Leunen was named Oregon's 4A
player of the year last season and was
listed as the 28th-best forward in the
nation by Rivalsl loops.com.
"1 felt like Maarty and I got along re
ally well," Jackson said in regards to his
relationship with the Oregon native.
"Ever since he came down, I felt like he
was in the same position 1 was as far as
what schools he wanted to go to and
what kind of a player he is. I tried to just
explain to him as best I could that this
would be a good fit for him and he'd
probably be happiest here."
Oguchi averaged 24.3 points per
game last season for George W. Bush
High School. The 6-foot-5 guard was
ranked as the 23rd-best shooting
guard in the nation by The Insiders.
"Chamberlain gives us an opportu
nity to have the best shooter out of
Texas," Kent said, describing him as a
cross between Davis and former Duck
Fred Jones. "He is a deadly deep range
three-point shooter."
Taylor averaged 28.6 points per
game last season at Harvard-Wesdake
High School. During his junior year,
he broke the school's single season
scoring record with 1,003 points. The
record was formerly held by Jason
Collins, who attended Stanford.
"In our opinion, he is the best
perimeter shooter on the West Coast,"
Kent said. "He really will surprise a lot
of people with the fact that not only is
he a shooter but a big-time finisher."

their roles within the team," Steffen
said. "They all gave us moments of
leadership, and that's one thing that is
n't reflected in a stat line. Our biggest
concern is coming up with quality lead
ership from the returning players."
Garbin and redshirt freshman Andrea
Valadez will be returning next year as
Oregon's leading scorers. They both had
seven. Oregon isn't ready for it to be over.
"Our players want to take a week
off and start another season," Steffen
said. "They know where they can go.
They've had a taste of it, and now they
want more."
Oregon accomplished more than
most expected this season. Yet, no sta
tistic or box score can provide proof of
how the Ducks feel after one of the
best seasons in the program's history.
"It was a great year for us, it was a
really great year," Lainez said. "Even
though we didn't win on Sunday or
on Friday, reflecting back on it, we ac
complished so much more than not
being able to go to the tournament."

VOLLEYBALL

may not be her most valuable contri
bution to the team. Mason brings a
passionate and fiery attitude to the
court that she doesn't attempt to hide.
She attributes her intense style of play
to old high school and club teammate
Lindsey Lee. As a 5-foot-5 middle
blocker, Lee taught Mason to play with
emotion no matter what the score was.
Mason has taken Lee's words to
heart. After putting away a kill, Mason
routinely shows her "island fever" by
yelling across the net.
"I like to intimidate (my oppo
nents)," Mason said. "Make them
think twice before sending the ball
my way and just kind of get in their
heads and shut them down.
"One of my big things is I need to
fire my teammates up and bring in
tensity out."
At times, Mason's intensity has
been a little too much for referees to
swallow. Mason has been issued sev
eral yellow cards during the season,
which is a warning for unsportsman
like conduct. Despite the warnings,

Ferreira said Mason's intensity has
worn off on the rest of the program
and she shouldn't tone it down.
"She has a no-fear mentality, and she
just goes for it," Ferreira said. "I'm never
going to handcuff that emotion. It's a
cultural thing, and it can be very infec
tious. I think her teammates feed off it."
Off the court, Mason becomes a self
proclaimed goofball who is usually en
gulfed with laughter. Mason and room
mate Heather Madison combine to
make quite the comic duo.
Monday "night for example, we put
on music in our room, and we danced
like grandmas," Madison said. "I
don't know how to explain (Mason)
other than she's a riot."
During her limited free time, Mason
can often be found hanging out with her
freshmen teammates in HP Barnhart
Hall, or relaxing at teammate Kim Mc
Nally's house where Mason said McNal
ly "cooks for me and takes care of me"
Entering tonight's match against Ari
zona, the Ducks are still looking for their
first conference win of the season. De
spite this, Mason's enthusiasm has
helped the team continue to stay upbeat
"Sarah's awesome," assistant coach
Rhonda Rust said. "She plays with her
heart and soul every day. It's a joy to
watch her and a joy to coach her. She's
been very special to the entire team,
and we enjoy her enthusiasm."
