Lacrosse: Lumberjax could
create a dynasty early on
Continued from page 5
“The core players we’ve ac
quired have now had a full season
to play with each other and will
only improve,” Keenan said.
Do not count Portland out of
possibly creating an early dynasty.
The Toronto Rock, a fellow NLL
expansion team, has already ac
complished this feat winning
championships in 1999, 2000,
2002 and 2003.
Expect lacrosse to become even
more popular in Eugene, where
Oregon’s women’s lacrosse team,
fresh off of its first season, has giv
en the sport a shot in the arm. For
the Lumberjax and lacrosse in
general, there is plenty of room to
grow in Oregon.

Ems: Davidson hit an RBI single to tie game
Continued from page 5
stole third during Carlos Quinones
at-bat.
Eugene starting pitcher Brent
Carter worked out of each jam, in
cluding inducing Quinones to strike
out to end the fifth inning. Carter al
lowed one run on seven hits in five
and two-thirds innings, while strik
ing out six.
“I was able to locate the ball in
and out,” Carter said. “They seemed
to be kind of struggling with my
change-up.”
The Emeralds answered with a
run in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Following a strikeout by Will Ven
able to start the inning, Rivera
knocked a bunt single over the first
baseman’s head and reached sec
ond base during Sansoe’s ground
out. Davidson hit an RBI single to tie
the game.
“Those two-out RBIs and two-out
base hits are hard to come by,”
Howell said. “You are hitting on a
defensive position.”
Carter earned a no-decision after
leaving the game at 1-1 in the
sixth inning.
“There will be those games where
you get no support and ones where
you get 10 runs in the first three
innings, Carter said, ihe main
thing is try to do your job. It all
evens out in the long run.”
Eugene relief pitchers allowed
only two hits in three and two-thirds
innings pitched and allowed only
one Hawk to reach second base.
“They were throwing strikes, at
tacking the hitters,” Howell said.
The Emeralds finish a three-game
series tonight at Everett. Eugene re
turns home for a five-game series
against Yakima beginning Wednes
day night at 7:05 p.m.

Basketball: Judge Kent on facts, personal experience
Continued from page 6
potentially enter five players into the
draft. Consider this- any guaranteed
lottery pick with bad knees won’t last
longer than a season at any universi
ty, so why should Kent worry about
Love anyways? Like last year, we will
be rebuilding in 2006, so why would
we want a freshman phenom that will
cut the check the following
off-season?
The Eugene family is ecstatic that
the temporary drought in Oregon
athletics is water under the bridge.
These young Ducks are explosive,
poised and still learning. And it’s
scary. With so many positives re
garding Kent’s on-court family, why
try and pick at a blemish in his per
sonal life? I ask everyone to judge
Ernie Kent based on facts, statistic
sand by personal experience. Shake
his hand and try and tell me he’s the
wrong guy on the bench.
Myself, Duck alumni, and Univer
sity supporters who feel like they are
a piece of the Eugene family want
editorials like Canzano’s to stop.
P.S. Damon Stoudamire was the
reason I was able to play my senior
season of high school baseball, be
cause he donated $200,000 to the
Portland Interscholastic League. It’s
sad that a dense marijuana cloud
will forever rain on his image in
Portland. I just hope Kent and
Stoudamire both know that real fans
wish them the best in
their futures.
