Cards drop Oregon to second By JOHN SELIX Of the Emerald Oregon's women's field hockey team lost a 1-0 show down to Stanford on Saturday and were forced to settle for second place behind the Car dinals in the Oregon Invita tional at Autzen Stadium. The Ducks finished the tournament with a 3-1 record, getting their wins over Chico State, Califor nia, and Washington State. Most of the Stanford game was played in the middle of the field, as witnessed by a total of only six shots on goal by both teams for the entire 60 minutes of play. The game’s only score came ten minutes into play, when the Cards had their first penalty corner. The Cards missed, but got another chance seconds later when an Oregon player deflected the ball out of bounds. This time, Stanford's Nancy White, a member of the U S. national team, drove the ball past goalie Maureen Sullivan for the game-winning goal. The Ducks had numerous scoring opportunities in the second half, but Stanford’s ''organized'' defense marked tightly, made good quick passes, and continually kept Oregon from getting off good shots. “We took Oregon by sur prise," said Stanford’s Nancy White. "I don't think they an ticipated our skills." The loss was particularly tough for the Ducks, becuase they outshot Stanford and held the Cards without a shot on goal in the second half. "We pressured them better than any other team,” said Oregon coach Nancy Plantz. “The game was even — they just got the break.” While conceding that Stan ford was the better team on that day, Plantz added that Oregom didn't play with en ough confidence and that "people whom I expected to play well, didn’t." One player who did play well was freshman link Jennifer Silva, whose responsibility was to stay with Nancy White. "Jennifer contained White very well,” said Plantz. "She (White) wasn't able to pene trate as she was in the other games." On Friday, the Ducks shu tout Chico State 4-0, with sen ior outside Nancy Berry get ting two goals. In that game, Oregon showed better quick ness than Chico, good stick work, and a persistent attack that had the ball on Chico's defensive end 90 percent of the game. Chico State is a Division II school, a step below Oregon field hockey coach Nancy Plantz (at right) found quite a bit to shout about last weekend at Autzen Stadium. Oregon finished second in the Photo by Steve Dykes Oregon Invitational, finishing with a 3-1 record and a close loss to Stanford. the other competitors in the tourney, and though it played some close matches, it was not able to win any games. Also on Friday, the Ducks beat the California Bears 2-1 in what Plantz called 'Oregon's best game of the tournament." Veronica DellaMotta gave the Ducks the lead in the first half by following up on Scottie Johnson’s missed shot. Cal then scored before the half on a shot deflected past Maureen Sullivan and tapped into the cage by Bear forward Carol Burton. In the second half, the Ducks were contin ually pounding at the Bears' goal, but continually being rejected by goalie Terry Bon well, who finished the game with 14 saves. "She's excellent," said out side Nancy Berry. "We had good shots, but it was so tough to score. It was frustrating." Frustrating until Berry drilled a shot by Bonwell on a penalty corner with five min utes remaining. "Cal beat us last year in Berkeley," said Plantz. "This was a good win for us." In Saturday's finale against Washington State, Oregon's defense was outstanding. The Cougars had no shots on goal as the Ducks won the game 1-0 on junior link Andrea Ca sella’s goal with 13 minutes remaining. Despite the disappointment of losing to Stanford, there were many promising aspects to the Ducks’ play during the tournament. Promising aspects like outshooting their opponents 43-8 over the four games. Like the defensive play of Jennifer Silva, or the steadiness in the goal of Maureen Sullivan. And especially the offense provid ed by Nancy Berry, who paced the Ducks with three goals in the tournament. "It was a successful week end," said Plantz. "We realize that we can play with anybody. We re just starting out as a team, and we’re doing a good job. Stanford has a lot of respect for us. " The Ducks play again Tues day at 6:30 p.m. at Autzen Stadium against the Eugene Women’s Club team, not against Linfield, which had been the originally scheduled opponent.
