With an undefeated record and nine new members, the women’s club soccer team is sitting pretty.
Sunday, the women ended in a 0-0 tie with Lane Community College.
“We played really well,” said Barbie Bowling, coach and senior forward. “We were the better team.”
The team (8-2-0 overall) competes both indoors and outdoors due to weather changes. With just a few games remaining for fall, long-term goals are to stay fit in the winter and play hard in the spring while awaiting playoffs.
“We hope to play our best and become a better team together by playing off of each other,” Bowling said.

Crew teams disappointed
For the first time, the Oregon club crew teams competed in the treacherous 7K race this last weekend at the Portland Loop Regatta of Champions.
On the Willamette, the men raced in the lightweight four and the openweight eight classes and the women had two teams competing in the openweight four. The men’s lightweight came in fifth out of six teams, and the men’s openweight placed seventh out of eight. In the women’s race the “A” boat finished second and the “B” boat ended up seventh out of eight teams.
“It wasn’t a matter of fitness but a matter of technique for us,” senior rower Kurt McCulloch said. “This was a serious disappointment.”

The ultimate experience
Ranked eighth in the nation last year, the Oregon men’s club ultimate frisbee team has high expectations to attend nationals this year.
The two Oregon teams competed in a 12-team tournament last week, with one team going to the quarterfinals and the other making it to the finals. The fall is actually something of a preseason for the team because the real goal is to win the Northwest Regionals in May and move on to the national tournament.
“This is a very encouraging season with all the veterans returning,” captain Josh Greenough said. “I think we will do better this year than last year.”
