# 7 Oregon Improves to 5-0, Looks Toward Portland State and Michigan
EUGENE, OR. – Oregon men’s lacrosse continued its unbeaten streak Saturday afternoon after
handing northwest rival Washington a 15-3 loss. In the third game of a four game home stretch,
the Ducks took 55 shots on goal and the steady weekend performance helped the team move up
to #7 in the latest national MCLA poll.
In the previous two games against Montana and Santa Clara, the Ducks had struggled to find
rhythm in the first quarter. However, that was not the case Saturday, as the team came out firing on the Huskies and took a 4-0 lead through the first period. Two of the goals came just before penalties, and one came from an outside rip by senior midfielder Erik Lyneis that went in top corner.
Oregon’s ride was hard for Washington to get past, and the Ducks continued to control the flow
of the game after a 3-1 second quarter score. The third quarter brought physical play from both
sides. While the Huskies put in a goal, the Ducks scored three, including a nifty bounce-in shot from junior midfielder Kevin Clark with an assist from sophomore attack Corbin Root. The same story continued for the Ducks in the fourth, as the depth of the team took over and
never let down on the visiting Huskies. Oregon put the game away by controlling the tempo of
the contest and adding five goals to the score, to make the final tally 15-3.
On what was the third weekend of sun for the Ducks at home, Kevin Clark and senior attack
Justin Blackmore contributed a couple hat tricks for the home team, and sophomore midfielder
Chris Kuhn provided an impressive goal on a fast break run in the second quarter. Oregon wraps up its four game home stretch this Saturday against a visiting Portland State team.
The Vikings come will come to Eugene with a lot of momentum after scoring 17 goals in last
weekend’s victory over Humboldt State. After this weekend’s matchup, the Ducks will look to
their Easter Trip that will include games against #1 ranked Michigan in the Patriot Cup in
Dallas, Texas and a contest at Michigan State.
The Ducks and Vikings will faceoff on Saturday, March 13th at 1:00 p.m. at the Next Turf Field.

Ducks Take Down Broncos, Remain Perfect on the Season
EUGENE, OR. – Oregon men’s lacrosse enjoyed another successful game Saturday afternoon, taking down Santa Clara University by a score of 15-4. In front of a large crowd, the Ducks provided a steady game of offensive pressure by taking 47 shots on the day. After a slow first quarter, the Ducks came out with a 2-0 lead with goals from junior attack Max Schlesinger and senior midfielder Chris Brown. Early on, ground balls were the main issue as the Ducks were still finding their rhythm.
The rhythm was found in the second quarter as the Ducks put up four goals while giving back two to the Broncos. Through one half, the score was 6-2 and the Ducks rested up for what would be explosive third and fourth quarters. In the third, the Ducks took 14 shots on Santa Clara goalie, Luke Kantola, while putting three in the back of the net.
In the fourth, Oregon’s depth and speed proved again to be too much for the visiting team, as the Ducks put in six goals, including a heads up goal at midfield from senior defenseman Mike
Gerrard on an open net. The Ducks outscored the Broncos 6-2 in the fourth, to make the final
score of 15-4 on the day.
Max Schlesinger (three goals, one assist) and senior captain Justin Blackmore (three goals) each provided a hat trick for the Ducks, and Chris Brown added two goals and one assist. Junior
defensive anchor Nick Johnston never let up in goal, providing 11 saves on the day. The Ducks continue their home stretch next weekend in a PNCLL division contest against the University of Washington. The Huskies come into Eugene with a 13-7 win over Boise State in their last game.
The Ducks and Huskies will faceoff on Saturday, March 6th at 1:00 p.m. at the Next Turf Field.
