Kost defeated in quarterfinals Oregon junior Manuel Kost could n't carry his winning ways into the quarterfinals, as he was defeated Fri day in die Pac-10 outdoor individual championships by USC's Adriano Bi asella, 6-3, 6-4.

Oregon’s Thomas Bieri (pictured) and Chris King lost in a doubles match to a pair from Stanford in the Pac-10 semifinals Saturday. Danielle Hickey Photo Editor Kost, who became the first men's player from Oregon to participate in the NCAA tournament in three years, looks to be on the bubble this year, according to Russell.

The Oregon duo of Sven Swinnen and Ar ron Spencer, ranked 40th in the country, lost to the Stanford pair of K.C. Corkery and lames Pade, 8-5.

In another doubles match, Kost and Markus Schiller couldn't hold leads in the match or the tie-breaker and lost to UCLA's team of Philipp Gruendler and Luben Pampoulov, 9-8. Kost and Schiller were up 4-1 in the tie-break but according to Russell, an easy volley gone bad started a chain reaction that ended in Oregon's demise.

Junior Thomas Bieri and senior Chris King lost in the semifinals Sat urday, 8-4. The duo lost to Stanford's Phil Sheng and James Wan. Now the men's team is awaiting the May 6 announcement of the 64-team NCAA tournament.
