NATIONALS
continued from page 15
but after a 10-2 win over
Willamette and a 10-5 victory over
No. 2 Whitman in the semifinals,
the Ducks found themselves in the
championship game. Pitted
against Washington — the North
west region's defending champion
— Oregon beat the tournament's
top-seeded team, 10-9, to earn the
title of Northwest Women's
Lacrosse Division Intercollegiate
Associates Champions and a trip
to Nationals.
"Our team really has no weak
nesses," White said. "We have a
good core of seniors who display
great leadership and we just have
great team chemistry both on and
off the field."
For Oregon, traveling to St.
Louis has been a dream that was
cultivated a long time ago. Co-Co
ordinator Traci Geist said the
team's success at regionals can be
directly attributed to the team's
work ethic.
"Everyone decided to get better,"
Geist said. "We were sick of losing.
Every year our team had such a big
turnover of girls, but this year we
have a core group that has really
stuck together."
When Oregon takes the field to
day, Geist admits the team mem
bers are not quite sure what they
are getting themselves into. The
Ducks have never played a team
from outside the West Coast area
and have been able to do little
scouting on the Aggies.
"We know they have an All
American, but that's about it,"
Geist said. "We are a very quick
team so we will try to take advan
tage of that."
Although this is Oregon's first
time competing against nationally
ranked teams at such a high profile
event, the Ducks still have high ex
pectations.
"We would really like to win
some games," senior Mary Beebe
said. "We want to know how West
Coast teams compare."
Men eliminated
The No. 8 Oregon men's
lacrosse Club team stuck to its win
ning ways on Tuesday, defeating
No. 9 Boston College, 14-10, at the
U.S. Lacrosse Men's Intercollegiate
Associates National Champi
onships, also in St. Louis.
The Eagles took a 4-3 lead, but
the Ducks regained control just be
fore halftime. From then on, Ore
gon took control for good and
won the opening match of the
tournament, 14-10.
The Ducks advanced to the quar
terfinals, where they fell to No. 1
UC Santa Barbara, 12-5, on
Wednesday.

HAIRSTON
continued from page 15
portunity to start and contribute right
away. He is already rumored as a poten
tial replacement for Luke Jackson.
With Aaron Brooks returning at the
point guard spot and fellow recruits
Chamberlain Oguchi and Bryce Taylor
— both of whom are ranked in Rivals'
top 75 — the Ducks have the potential
for a young, fast and talented back
court.
But the Ducks may not have Hair
ston's services for long. His father,
Richard Hairston, told the Detroit
Free Press Wednesday he does not ex
pect Malik to stay for a full four years.
That alone may have lessened the
likelihood he would sign with Michi
gan, because the Wolverines lose just
one player from a team that won the
National Invitation Tournament.
"What we were looking for was
something specific in terms of playing
time and how he would fit in,"
Richard Hairston told the paper. "As a
part of (Michigan head coach) Tom
my Amaker's thing, he's not willing to
talk about that, and I understand that.
He has ballplayers that have per
formed well for him. So my child says
to me, 'Dad, I want to go into a situa
tion where I can develop and have the
opportunity to leave college in two
years'"
Hairston, Oguchi and Taylor join
Maarty Leunen — 60th best in the na
tion according to Rivals — and recendy
signed point guard Kenny Love to make
up the 2004 recruidng class. That group
was ranked as 17th best in the nation
according to http://www.CollegeS
ports.com before Hairston's signing,
and is expected to improve.

SPORTS BRIEFS
Stewart not headed
to 49ers, for now
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Leigh Stein
berg, the agent for Kordell Stewart,
said Wednesday that the 49ers have
not inquired about the veteran quar
terback and said he suspects they are
leaning toward using his other
client, youngster Ken Dorsey.
"Ken shows the promise of being a
future starting quarterback," Steinberg
said. "The process of maturation takes
time, but I'm certainly confident —
and I would bet the 49ers are confi
dent — that he has what it takes to be
come a starter in the NFL."
The 49ers lost their top quarterback
last week when Tim Rattay suffered a
groin injury that will sideline him for
three to four months. General Man
ager Terry Donahue said the 49ers
would discuss adding a veteran quar
terback but also said the team might
turn things over to Dorsey, the 49ers'
seventh-round draft pick a year ago.
"We have not made any deci
sions, nor have we invited anyone to
visit us at this time," Donahue said
in a statement released by the team.
"We will continue to evaluate the sit
uation and will make decisions
based on what is best for the team."
Stewart, who started seven games
for Chicago last season, has been
without a team since the Bears re
leased him March 1. He is one of
several experienced quarterbacks
looking for work, including dis
count options such as Damon
Huard and Steve Beuerlein.

Games in Athens, Greece
Sources close to McGrady told
The Orlando Sentinel that security
concerns in Athens have caused Mc
Grady to waver.
Last week, 100 days before the
Games start, three bombs explod
ed outside a police station in
Athens. The Greek government
downplayed the blasts and blamed
them on home-grown extremists,
ruling out a connection between
terrorists and the world's largest
sporting event.
McGrady declined to comment
Wednesday but indicated he would
announce his decision soon.
"Tracy is worried about security,
no question," said a source. "He's
going to have his family over there
with him."

Powe speaks about surgery
BERKELEY, Calif. — Cal forward
Leon Powe spoke publicly Wednes
day for the first time since undergo
ing the first of a two-part surgical
procedure on his left knee last
month, and he made it clear that the
only timeline he'll use for his return
to the court will be his own.
"I'm going to play it by what I
think, not by what somebody else
wants me to do," said Powe, last sea
son's Pac-10 Freshman of the Year.
"I'm going to take my time. This is
no time to be tough."
Powe underwent a bone graft pro
cedure by Dr. Richard Steadman on
April 21. Steadman will perform re
