■ Duck tennis Oregon women take three in weekend sweep Jamie Marshall wins all three of her singles matches to lead the Ducks past L/C Irvine, Portland and Utah BY ALEX TAM DAILY EMERALD FREELANCE REPORTER Jamie Marshall has had the poten tial to be one of Oregon’s top tennis players, but several nagging injuries throughout her career have impeded that development. The 5-foot-6 junior, however, now feels the best she has been in a long time and had one of many standout performances for the Ducks this weekend. The Oregon women (3-0 overall) won all three home dual matches, including a 6-1 victory over UC Irvine on Sunday at the Stu dent Tennis Center. Marshall, a diabetic, said she re cently switched to an insulin pump to help control her blood sugar lev els, which in turn has contributed to her improved performances. “I feel a lot healthier and every thing is working right now,” Mar shall said. The 21-year-old won all three of her singles matches over the week end, including a straight-set, 7-5,6-1, win over UC Irvine’s Hui Leow that clinched the dual match victory. “I feel like I’m playing a lot better and I feel like I’m in better shape and moving better and everything,” Marshall said. The flu and minor injuries also became concerns during the week end. However, Oregon head coach Nils Schyllander said he was “really proud” of how his team battled through it. “I think the team came a long ways this weekend because we dealt through a lot of adversity,” Schyllander said. Sunday’s victory was also the Ducks’ 11th straight win at home in the Student Tennis Center — a streak that dates back to last season when Oregon held a perfect 8-0 record. “We’re comfortable in here, we practice here and we got great fans, so it’s a great venue to play at,” Schyllander said. The bottom half of the singles lineup was one of the big reasons for the Ducks’ success over the weekend. Throughout the weekend, the quartet of Marshall, Anna Leksinska, Monica Hoz de Vila and Ester Bak combined for an 8-1 singles record. “They played pretty solid,” Schyl lander said. “Jamie Marshall played great all weekend and we just don’t make mistakes down in the lineup right now. I just feel like we played solid tennis.” Oregon also captured a pair of 6-1 victories over Portland and Utah on Friday. The Ducks will next travel to Min neapolis for the Minnesota Court Classic on Saturday. Men take two The Oregon men (3-1 overall) continued their tennis success with two dominating 7-0 home victories over Gonzaga and Linfield Saturday. “We just had to make sure we fo cused,” senior Sven Swinnen said. “We knew coming into the match, if we focused we would win, and I guess that’s what we did.” Swinnen, ranked 16th in the na-' tion, picked up his team-leading 10th win of the season when he de feated Linfield’s Tim Layman in straight sets, 6-0, 6-1. Oregon continues dual-match play at home with a doubleheader Saturday against St. Mary’s at 11 a.m. and Eastern Washington at 5 p.m. in the Student Tennis Center. fashion that pays to be me Since 1948 FREES T/k LJFR^k N T BEST BFtEA KEA.

The 5-foot-10, 220-pound Stewart is the all-time leading rusher in Washington high school history with 7,755 yards, destroying the previous record by 1,600 yards. During his senior season at Tim berline High School in Lacey, Wash., he rushed for 2,301 yards and 32 touchdowns, giving him 95 for his career. Stewart had narrowed down his choices to Oregon and Washington State. Both schools sent recruiters to Timberline on Thursday for a final pitch, but Stewart said he had al ready made up his mind. The verbal commitment isn’t binding, but Stewart said his deci sion is final. It will be official when and if he signs Feb. 2, the first day high school athletes can sign letters of intent with colleges. If Stewart signs, it marks the fourth year in a row the Ducks have signed one of the top-ranked re cruits in the nation. Oregon signed defensive tackle Haloti Ngata in 2002, quarterback Dennis Dixon in 2003 and wide re ceiver Cameron Colvin and running back Terrell Jackson in 2004, all re garded as top players in the country at their respective positions coming out of high school. — Clayton Jones Men: Sun Devils' Serge Angounou scores 20 Continued from page 9A career-low-tying 10 points.
