dAn Jones Sports Reporter Oregon, in only its sec- ond season with coach Tara Erickson, lost just one Pa- cific-10 Conference match in 2006. Yet, the team’s 6-5 non- conference record seemed to be the deciding factor when the NCAA Tournament selec- tion committee decided to leave the Ducks off its post- season list. Overshadowed was Ore- gon’s 6-1-2 Pac-10 finish and remembered was the fact that it never earned a victory over a ranked non-conference op- ponent that year, though the squad came close against the team it’ll face Friday. The Ducks, who currently stand at 6-3 overall with just two non-conference matches remaining on its schedule, have one more chance to show the committee they can compete against anyone. It won’t be easy though. The Ducks play the Univer- sity of Portland — a two-time national champion that is ex- periencing a rare two-match Brittany (Priceless) losing streak — tomorrow at 7 p.m. at Papé Field. Shawl ($16) Historically, Portland has had no trouble defeating Oregon. Oregon has only scored two goals against the Pilots, both coming in a 5-2 loss in 2004. Portland’s 9-0 all-time record against the Dress ($18) Ducks is a strong indicator that Erickson’s squad will have their work cut out for them Friday. The two squads last met Boots ($14) at Papé Field in 2005, when Portland won 6-0. Pilot Christine Sinclair booted in five goals to propel her squad to victory. In the most recent Oct. 1 national polls, the Pilots (7-3) slipped from No. 2 to at least No. 8. Soccer Buzz dropped them to No. 8, Soccer Times and the NSCAA moved them to No. 10 and Soccer America Top 25 pushed them all the Since 1992 way back to No. 13.
