Ducks Soar Through Weekend, Dominating Opponents 43-12.

Youth and HS Lacrosse Clinics in Eugene, Hood River this Weekend!

The Ducks kicked off the 2006 season with a 21 to 8 win over Stanford on Saturday followed by a defeat of the Boise State Broncos, 22 to 4, on Sunday.  The Ducks showed great athleticism and their offensive movement opened up many opportunities for goals in the middle, while the defense displayed signs of depth and aggressiveness on ball.  Both Stanford and Boise State played hard and showed great promise as their programs continue to build.

Looking forward, the Ducks are now preparing for a highly anticipated match-up against the Portland Lacrosse Club this Saturday.  The Portland team consists of many recent NCAA D1 and D2 graduates, as well as the Ducks� very own Danny Ernst and Jeremy Tesar (2005 Graduates and USL-MDIA All-Americans).  It is said that this game could determine the best team in the State, settling the debate once and for all.  The game will be played at Nike Campus in Beaverton at 3PM

Also this weekend, the Ducks Lacrosse Team will be hosting their Winter Clinics in Eugene and Hood River.  All clinics will be staffed by current UO players and coaches.  This is a great chance for High School and Youth players to begin their season with college level instruction and insight from some the West�s most talented individuals.  Both clinics will be on this Sunday, the 19th.  More information can be found on the team�s website, http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~lacrosse.
