Huskies got their first win at Mac Court
in nine years. Saturday, Mendiola made
sure that she would graduate with an
other victory in Eugene.
After a slow start, Mendiola fin
ished with 22 points and nine re
bounds, leading the Huskies to a 67
56 victory. The win kept Washington's
postseason hopes alive, improving
their record to 14-10 overall and 7-8
in the Pacific-10 Conference.
"Everybody who has seen her here
for four years knows, who else's hands
do you want the ball in?" Washington
coach June Daugherty said. "Everybody
in this room knows the answer. She's
the best. There's a reason why she was
the MVP of the conference last year.
And I believe this year too."
Mendiola really did finish the game.
After opening the first half 2 for 8 from
the field, Mendiola was 6 for 9 in the
second half. Her weak shooting first
half came from a stingy Oregon de
fense
"Oregon plays at another level at
home," Mendiola said. "They played
me very, very physical. They played
great defense."
Oregon knew that Mendiola and her
sister, Gioconda Mendiola, would
scorch the Ducks given the opportunity.
In January's 95-50 blowout, the Mendi
ola sisters combined for 30 points,
making Oregon fully aware of their of
fensive presence.
"We just wanted to come out and
play really aggressive and physical and
make them work for their points," Ore
gon guard Chelsea Wagner said. "The
Mendiola's are a big part of their scor
ing and we just wanted to make them
work really hard."
For 29 minutes and 23 seconds,
Oregon — primarily Wagner and
point guard Corrie Mizusawa —
played Giuliana Mendiola and her sis
ter flawlessly. Combined, they had 13
points until the clock hit 10:37 re
maining in the second half.
At that point, Giuliana Mendiola
started her run with a three-point
shot from the right wing, scoring 18
of Washington's Final 23 points of
the game.
"She rises up for those occasions and
plays the game for those occasions,"
Oregon head coach Bev Smith said.
"It's a tribute to her and a tribute to
women's basketball to see a player re
spond like that."
In front of what the Huskies called
a great crowd, Washington needed
someone to step up if they were going
to put the Ducks away. Behind Brandi
Davis and Andrea Bills, Oregon was
slowly staying about four points be
hind the Huskies.
That got Mendiola moving along
with her game Washington was ahead
44-40 when she started her attack and
she wasn't comfortable with that.
"I was worried just looking at the
score," Mendiola said. "It was too close
for comfort. My teammates rely on me
to score, and I just knew I had to bring
it. lhat's what I tried to do."
Mendiola brought it enough to end
her Mac Court days with a second win
in two years against the Ducks.

Ducks sluggish on final day,
take 16th place in Hawaii
Sophomore Gregg LaVoie
was Oregon's high placer
in Hawaii; he finished 47th
By Brian Smith
Freelance Reporter
The Oregon men's golf team fin
ished the final round in Hawaii on
Friday with a team score of 293,
giving the Ducks a 16th place finish
at the TaylorMade/Waikoloa Inter
collegiate. The Ducks finished with
a team total 876 on the par-72,
7,074-yard Waikoloa King's Course
in Waikoloa, Hawaii.
The Ducks stayed within striking
distance of the top 10 for most of
the tournament. However, the team
— composed of two freshmen and
three sophomores — never seemed
to be able to gain any momentum,
squandering any chance for their
first top-10 finish since the Husky
Invitational in September.
For the second consecutive year,
sophomore Gregg LaVoie was the
Ducks' top finisher in Hawaii.
LaVoie carded two rounds of even
par and finished with a three-round
total of 2-over 218, good enough
for a tie for 47th place. Sophomore
Justin St. Clair was the next highest
finisher, posting a 73-73-74-220,
dropping him from 48th in the sec
ond-round to a tie for 55th.
After a final round 76, sopho
more Kyle Johnson dropped from
40th to 63rd and ended with a
combined total of 73-72-76-221.
Freshman Matt Ma carded a
final-round 74 after posting the
best individual round of the
tournament for the Ducks, a 1-un
der 71 in the second round and fell
into a tie for 72nd with fellow
freshman Dustin Pewarchuk. Pe
warchuk shot a 76-73-73-222 after
finishing last week's PING-Arizona
Intercollegiate in the top 20.
Fifth-ranked Georgia Tech took
home the team title after finishing
with a final-round team score of
278. The victory gives the Yellow
Jackets their fourth victory in seven
years at the event. Fourth-ranked
UCLA finished three strokes back
with a team total 20-under 844.
Arkansas finished third with a 845
and No. 8 Arizona State and

Men look to start new streak
The Oregon men (6-1 overall) lost
their first match of the season
against No. 33 Boise State, 5-2, on
Friday, However, they got back into
their winning ways when they
squeaked by with a 4-3 victory over
Denver on Saturday.
The doubles team of junior Sven
Swinnen and sophomore Arron
Spencer stayed undefeated (6-0)
when they defeated Denver's Niko
Popovic and Hans Peter Gaber, 8-6.
The singles portion included
many emotional matches as five of
the six contests went to three-setters.
"In my nine years of coaching,
this was the most spirited and com
petitive match I have ever been a
part of,” Oregon head coach Chris
Russell said.
Junior Manuel Kost led the way
when he moved up to the No. 2 posi
tion and overcame Gaber, 4-6, 6-4, 6
2. Kost protected his perfect dual sin
gles record, which now stands at 6-0.
At the No. 1 spot, Denver's Nejc
Smole handed Swinnen his first sin
gles loss for the year, despite Swin
nen winning the first set, in a tight
matchup that went 6-7, 7-6, 7-6.
The men stay on the road when they
face UC-Santa Barbara on Friday and
22nd-ranked Oklahoma State on Sat
urday in Santa Clara, Calif.
