TENNIS continued from page 7A 53 Anna Erikson, 8-2. "Our doubles team established the tone and we made very few mistakes," Schyllander said. In other action, senior Davina Mendiburu teamed with junior Ester Bak to oust Roberta Fessenko and Ce cilia Helland, 8-2. Mendiburu also won her singles match by easily handling Ann Roslund in straight sets, 6-0,6-1. Mendiburu, after sitting out last season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, is making a slow comeback. Schyllander said he thinks she will soon recover. The Frendi native played a key role in helping the Ducks later defeat Neva da 7-0 after dismissing Myriam Bouch laka in straight sets, 6-1,6-1. Mendibu ru, who only lost a total of five games in her four matches, later teamed up with Bak again to trounce Bouchlaka and Kristen Davenport, 8-0, in doubles. "Davina was our MVP today," Schyllander said. "She was ready to play and looks to be back to 100 per cent from her injury." The Oregon women will host Col orado on Ian. 31 at 5 p.m. at the Stu dent Tennis Center. Men take home opener Ihe Oregon men followed the success of the women and won the season open er against Santa Clara, 5-2, on Sunday. The win was a team effort as each Duck contributed to the sweep of all three doubles matches and wins in four of the six singles matches. "It was a good win for us," head coach Chris Russell said. "I felt our doubles play was strong and it is always good to start off the dual season with a victory. We still have a lot of things to work on, but we will continue to improve." Oregon was led by Sven Swinnen, who played at the No. 2 dual position and defeated Santa Clara's Erich Chen 6-2, and 6-2. The men host Brigham Young on Jan. 29.

Then, with three seconds left, Larwin scored two points for the 3-1 victory, sending the crowd to its feet. The Bulldogs led 14 7 after six rounds. "Luke is making improvements and getting better," Kearney said. "(He did a) good job of controlling things. He is not going to put up 15-16 points." Sophomore Chet McBee also wres tled close. McBee led by one after the first round against Anthony Rubalcava but fell behind by one after the second. In the third, McBee scored to tie the match before scoring the winning point at the buzzer for the Oregon victory. "Chet McBee gets better each match," Kearney said. "He is still a lit tle unpredictable, but getting better and getting confidence. The style he wrestles, he has to be confident. He has a wide-open style. Chefs wrestling his best when he is scoring 12-13-14 points a match. Now, it may be 12-10. I le's not a guy that's going to win 2-1." McBee's win was Oregon's last on the night, as the Bulldogs won the next three matches. Oregon now has a short week before heading to Boise State Friday. Oregon will start turning its attention and train ing schedule toward the Pacific-10 Con ference Tournament, which is a little more than a month away.
