Arnaud falls in
consolation bracket
Oregon women’s tennis senior Adeline Arnaud dropped a 6-3, 6-3 match Sunday morning in the consolation bracket to Fresno State’s Courtney Jantz at the ITA Rolex Regional in Palo Alto, Calif.
“It was a good tournament for Adeline,” fifth-year Oregon head coach Jack Griffin said. “She gained a lot of experience that will pay off at the end of the season. She could have a very good year.”
King’s streak ends
The Oregon men’s tennis team had a slate full of matches in the second day of the ITA Regionals held at Santa Clara University. Johan Paalberg was the only Duck to come out victorious, but the match experience was very valuable to the young team.
Sophomore Chris King’s seven-match winning streak came to a halt in the third round of main draw singles when he lost to Chris Lamb of Santa Clara 6-0, 6-4.
“We got a lot of matches in. Were getting some much needed experience,” Oregon head coach Chris Russell said.
The Ducks’ doubles tandem of Chris King and Johan Paalberg were defeated in the third round.

Golfers prepare
for Hawaii tournament
The Oregon women’s golf team is returning to warm weather and the white sandy beaches for the Hawaii Fall Golf Classic.
The tournament will be played today and Wednesday at the par-72, 5,900-yard Kapolei Golf Course, the site of one of the Ducks’ best performances last year. In team scores, the Ducks finished sixth at 929, which was their best finish last fall.
The competition for the tournament is very diverse this year. The classic has a 19-team field, including Brigham Young, Central Florida, Colorado, Oregon State and San Jose State, just to name a few . No. 13 Arizona and No. 30 California are the only two ranked teams competing.
“It’s our last midterm of the fall and we’re looking to end on a good note. We’re also looking for some momentum going into the spring,” Oregon head coach Shannon Rouillard said. “The course is pretty straightforward and fairly flat. It’s a very scoreable golf course.”
