Oregon. Washington State and

i Old nemesis beat netters
Oregon lost all three matches it
played Friday in what coach Chris
Voelz called “the worst day we’ve
had all year." The Ducks were
beaten by Oregon State 16-14.
16-14; by Montana State 16-14,
15-7, and by Washington State
15-10, 15-10.
“Against Oregon State we had
the least number of offensive cre
dits in a game this year," noted
Voelz. “That (the loss to OSU)
was the biggest surprise, bacause
we should have blasted them."
The Ducks did just that last
week in Eugene in the Oregon In
vitational, taking apart the Beav
ers 15-1, 15-5. But on Friday in
Seattle Oregon State took it to the
Ducks and played well enough to
hold off a lackadaisical Oregon
team.
Saturday began well, with
•Oregon winning its first two
matches. The Ducks squeaked by
Montana in three sets—14-16,
15-11, 15-13—then came from
behind to blast Western Washing
ton, 9-15, 15-5, 15-6.
After that it was all downhill.
Washington took the measure of
the Ducks 15-4,17-19,15-8, then
Portland State routed Oregon
15-9, 15-10. It was the sixth
straight time this season that Port
land State has downed Oregon.
The losses dropped the Ducks'
record to 16-24-2.
Voelz was happy with her
team’s play on Saturday, espe
cially against Portland State. “We
scored more points against PSU
on Saturday than anytime this
year.”
Voelz used only seven players
in Seattle. Sue Stadler, Kim Jes
sup, Therese Cooper, Michelle
Nekota and Christine McFarlane
played the entire tournament,
while Anita Ennsworth and Mary
Schnabel alternated at the sixth
position.
Oregon takes on Oregon State
in Corvallis Tuesday night at 7:30
p.m. in the Ducks' final regular
season match. On Nov. 24-25
Oregon will be competing in the
NCWSA-AIAW Regional Champ
ionships at Washington State.
The Ducks will be seeded fifth or
sixth, according to Voelz, and
need to finish in the top two to
qualify for nationals.

remaining.
It took five straight points by
Lucas to lift the Blazers out of
trouble.

Hemmer proves best all-around
Oregon's Kathy Hemmer totaled 447 points, with six first
place finishes, four seconds, and four thirds, to win the Oregon
All-Around swim championships. Kathy Garrison of Oregon State
finished second with 443 points.
Last year Hemmer placed second with 444 points to now
graduated Michelle Menkins who scored 450 points.
Hemmer managed to improve in seven out of the 16 events
from last year's championship and had three lifetime bests.
Debbie Sill won the All-Around diving competition by winning
both the one and three meter boards.
Oregon swimmers finished first in 14 of the 16 events, and
the first places were divided between four swimmers; Kathy
Hemmer earned six, Tina Helm and Mary Miller three a piece, and
Holly Pate, two.
Miller placed third overall with 403 points, followed by Miller
with 343 points.
"I am very pleased with the results," said Oregon coach
Virginia VanRossen. “The meet was held a month earlier than it
was last year, but half the records were broken."
"The team has great depth this year, and you can see that by
looking at the times for the sixth place finisher last year, and then
look at this year's sixth place time. The times improved in 10 out of
the 16 races."
