SPORTS BRIEFS
Swinnen triumphs while
teammates stumble
Oregon's Sven Swinnen continued
his surge to the top of the singles
rankings, defeating sixth-ranked To
bias Clemens of UCLA — 0-6, 6-4, 11
9 — on Friday and 23rd-ranked Adri
ano Biasella of Southern California —
6-4, 7-5 — on Saturday.
The rest of the Oregon men's tennis
team couldn't follow suit on the up
sets, falling to No. 4 UCLA, 6-1, and
to No. 3 USC, 5-2.
"Both these programs are at the top
of their game, and our goal was to
play hard at every position from start
to finish," Oregon head coach Chris
Russell said.
Swinnen's play was the only high
light for the Ducks on Friday as they
took a pounding at the hands of UCLA.
Swinnen fell behind early to
UCLA's Clemens and couldn't convert
on break-points or keep the sixth
ranked Clemens from breaking his
serve in the first set, losing 6-0.
"Iwas up (40-15) in the first couple
of games, but I couldn't put the games
away," Swinnen said.
Swinnen came out swinging in the
second set, jumping to a 3-0 lead and
eventually winning the set 6-4, and he
also took the tie-breaker set, 11-9, on a
controversial Clemens backhand that
appeared to fall wide of the line.
Clemens argued Swinnen's and the
chair umpire's call, to no avail.
"1 saw it was out, Chris (Russell)
saw it was out and the referee called it
out so I knew it was a good call,"
Swinnen said.
The Ducks lost the rest of their sin
gles matches in straight sets and were
swept in the doubles.
Oregon started strong against No. 3
USC on Saturday, but fell to Pacific-10
Conference leaders, 5-2.
Swinnen and Arron Spencer defeated
USCs Daniel Langre and Drew Hoskins,
8-5, in the No. 1 doubles position. Ore
gon's Manuel Kost and Marcus Schiller
almost stole the doubles point for the
Ducks, but fell short and lost to Parker
Collins and Johan Berg, 8-6.
Swinnen pulled off his second up
set in as many days, beating No. 23 Bi
asella, 6-4, 7-5.
"He (Swinnen) has a clarity in his
mind that allows him to see things
in a match that a lot of others don't
see because they get too emotional,"
Russell said.
Oregon senior Chris King was hon
ored before the match and played his
final game in Eugene on Saturday, los
ing his doubles match, 8-4, and his
singles match, 6-0, 6-2.

Duck women finish ninth
The Oregon women's golf team fin
ished the 2004 regular season with a dis
appointing ninth-place finish at the Peg
Barnard Collegiate on Sunday. After fir
ing an opening-round 317, the Ducks,
looking to jump into the top five with a
good second round, ended up carding
a 314, finishing where they started.
Sophomore Michelle Timpani led
the Ducks with a 78-78-156, good for
a 12-over-par tie for 25th. Sophomore
Erin Andrews was the only other
Duck to finish in the top 30, with her
77-80-157. The hottest golfer of the
spring, sophomore Therese Wenslow
struggled to tie for 40th.
The Ducks will now look to find
some of the momentum they held
earlier this year as they head into next
week's Pacific-10 Championships, to
be held at the Saticoy Country Club,
in Somis, Calif.
Sica returns to form
It's not that the Oregon men's golf
team did anything wrong in its 14th
place finish at the PING/ASU Invita
tional, held at the par-72, 7,037-yard
Karsten Golf Course inTempe, Ariz.
It's just the fact that the other teams
in the field did everything right and
did it often.
"We actually played okay," Oregon
men's coach Steve Nosier said. "But you
usually see some incredibly low num
bers here. 1 think we could have fin
ished a little stronger today, but beating
Oregon State and San Diego State
should help us a bit for regionals."
The most positive note for the
Ducks was the return to solid play by
senior Mike Sica. Sica posted three
rounds at, or below, par and finish
tied for 28th at a 3-under-par 218. It
marks the first time Sica has recorded
back-to-back below-par tournaments
in his career.
Sophomore Justin St. Clair turned
in a solid performance, finishing tied
for 39th at a 1-under-par 215. It was
his fourth top-40 finish in five events
this spring.
