EUGENE - The Oregon Ducks (1-0, 0-0) host the Gonzaga Bulldogs, Nevada Wolf Pack and Idaho Vandals in three duals matches.

Oregon will take on Gonzaga Friday at 3:00 PM, after Idaho and Nevada play each other at 10:00 AM.

The next day, the Ducks will face Nevada at 10:00 AM followed by Idaho at 6:00 PM.

Rounding out the round robin weekend will be Gonzaga playing Nevada on Sunday at 10:00 AM.

Scouting Gonzaga:

The Bulldogs come into Eugene for their first dual meet of the spring campaign.

Coming off of a disappointing 2006 season, which saw the Bulldogs go 6-22, second year coach Peter McDonald hopes that he can turn the program into the toast of the WAC.

Scouting Nevada:

The Wolf Pack come into Eugene for the second time this season, having participated in the Duck Invitational held in November.

The Ducks faced the Wolf Pack in a series of consolation singles matches on the last day of the tournament and Oregon won five of the six matches.

Scouting Idaho:

The Vandals are coming of being swept at the hands of the University of Washington.

Timothy Huynh was the only Vandal to have success against the Huskies, taking his match against Mike Ricks to three sets. Joel Trudel also kept his match close, falling 7-6, 7-6.
