good serving."
The Ducks carried the momen
tum into the singles competition by
winning four of the six matches, in
cluding the top two position
matches.
Swinnen again set the tone by
overcoming Nyman, who is current
ly ranked No. 80 in the nation, in a
hard-fought straight set win 6-4, 7
5. Swinnen, who is the third Swiss
W/WW.SW.Wil
native on the Oregon squad, said he
focused on playing hard to beat his
opponent.
"(Nyman) came back to fight,"
Swinnen said. "I just stayed
aggressive."
At the No. 2 singles position, the 6
foot-6 Bieri frustrated Brigham Young
senior Richard Dasek with his size
and power to easily win 6-1, 6-1.
Other singles victories included yet
another emotional matchup with
senior Chris King beating his oppo
nent 6-4, 7-6 (7-5).

said. "We challenged them today
that this was about them. Their chal
lenge was to stay in front of people,
not do anything heroic, not do any
thing in terms of gambling, but just
play solid defense."
Oregon got off to an unusually
strong first-half start, jumping out to
an early 9-2 lead. A Wagner three
pointer with five minutes remaining
gave the Ducks their biggest lead of
the half at 26-13.
The first half was played at a
steady pace with few stops in the ac
tion. Oregon wasn't whistled for a
foul until seven minutes remained
in the half.
"This is a great way for us to start
the second half of the Pac-10
season," Smith said. "We just have to
build on this."
Bills scored 13 points and grabbed
11 rebounds for the Ducks, while
Eleanor Haring added 11 points.
If history repeats itself, Oregon
should continue to improve on its
2-7 first-half conference record. The
Ducks have not had a losing second
half of a conference season in 10
years and only once in the last 13
years has Oregon's second half
record been worse than the
first half.
Oregon will remain in Southern
California to take on USC Saturday at
4 p.m. The Ducks fell to the Trojans
69-55 on Jan. 2 at McArthur Court in
the season's first meeting.

Kost, who is battling a wrist injury
after playing in a tournament in
Switzerland during winter break, also
won his match at the No. 4 position
after defeating Roshan 6-3, 6-4. Kost
said he hopes to recover and be back
at 100 percent soon.
"It was hard to get through (the
match)," Kost said. "I made the im
portant points at the important mo
ments (and) I returned well."
Russell said those four players are
showing what he expects from his
team during the rest of the year.
"(They) did a very good job with
their game styles," he said. "That's
what we're emphasizing each week
and every match."
Sophomore transfer Marcus
Schiller, however, struggled in his sin
gles match against Christian Hand,
losing 7-6, 4-6 and 6-3. Schiller con
tinually attempted to motivate him
self throughout his match, including
throwing his racket to the ground and
yelling at himself.
He looked to turn things around af
ter a pep talk with Russell during the
second set. But emotions again got in
the way and it negatively imparted his
play in the third set.
"(Emotions) can take us out of our
game plans," Russell said.
Oregon will continue action this
weekend when they host the
Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns
(0-1) Saturday at 11 a.m. and 72nd
ranked Pacific (0-0) Sunday at
11 a.m.
