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

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.
