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.

WRESTLING
continued from page 8A
In the overtime, neither wrestler
could get positioning. 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.
