New net season awaits Ducks at regionals
By TERRY RHOADS
Ol the Emerald
A brand new volleyball sea
son starts this weekend when
the women's volleyball team
travels to the seven-team
Region 9 championships in
Missoula, Mont., says Oregon
coach Chris Voelz.
“It’s like Chris (Voelz) has
been telling us," says 5-7 senior
Kim Jessup "The season has
started over and we’re at
ground z ro again.”
Oregon opens tournament
play against the University of
Montana at 10 a m. today. The
winner then meets the Universi
ty of Washington which has a
first-round bye later today.
The Ducks, 39-14-1 overall
and 7-5 in the Northwest
Women’s Volleyball League, will
go into the regional tourney with
one goal, says Voelz — to reach
the finals and win a berth in the
AIAW nationals.
Oregon goes into the tourney
seeded fourth behind Washing
ton, Portland State University
and Montana State.
The Huskies, ranked ninth
nationally and undefeated in
Region 9 play this year, are the
clear favorite, says Voelz. But
second place isn’t so clear cut.
"It’ll probably boil down to us
and Portland State.”
"Second is realistic,” says 5-7

senior Christie McFarlane. ‘‘I
really think we’re ready to play
the most intense ball we’ve
played all year.
‘ People are keying into this
(regionals), and being real ma
ture.”
Oregon will have one advan
tage missing this season —
they’ll finally be at full player
strength.
‘‘This will be the first time all
season that we’ve had all 12
players healthy,” says Voelz.
"We’ve been tapering our prac
tices and should be at our
strongest for regionals.”
Oregon’s defensive leader,
sophomore Cathy Hill, will re
turn to key the Ducks’ block
ing attack after missing two
weeks with a sprained ankle.
The Ducks' net game remains
Oregon’s “biggest asset,” and
the serving game has improved
immensely, says Voelz.
But the Ducks are aware of
problems, Voelz says. ‘‘Our
passing game has been up and
down and our hitting efficiency
will have to improve.”
“We’ll have to be consistent
all-around,” Jessup says. “It’ll
take a team effort.”

at the Region 9 tournament.
Clark and Williams lead
Yellows to 92-78 victory
Power forwards Mike Clark
and Jerome Williams combined
for 47 points and 20 rebounds to
lead the Yellow team to a 92-78
win over the smaller Green team
in the second men’s intrasquad
basketball scrimmage.
The Yellow team fought back
from a 62-55 deficit with 11
minutes remaining in the
second half Thursday night in
McArthur Court to post their
second intrasquad win. Clark
scored 23 points and collected
11 rebounds while Williams to
talled 24 points and nine
rebounds.
“I’m proud of our Green
team,” said Oregon coach Jim
Haney. “The Yellow team had
stronger personnel on the front
line and they just kind of wore
the other team out. But I’m
pleased with our unselfishness.
We tried to create plays for our
teammates.”
Williams scored 13 of his
team’s first 23 points to push the
Yellow squad to a 25-20 lead
midway through the first half.
But then Brantley poured in 11
points to direct the Green team
to a 58-55 margin with 12 min
utes left in the game.

The Yellow team finally
regained the lead permanently,
at 69-68, on a pair of free throws
by Clark, who was seven-of-11
from the charity line.
“I liked Mike Clark's perfor
mance, particularly in the
second half,” said Haney, who
watched from the stands as as
sistant coaches Jim O’Brien and
Jim Krause directed the two
teams. “He showed better dis
cretion in his shooting.”
Haney liked the offensive
performance of the Ducks,
especially his players’ shot
selection. "The offense made
big strides over last week — we
definitely showed better offense
than defense. I thought we got
better shots, although we didn’t
always take the first shot availa
ble.”
Freshman David Brantley led
the Green team in scoring for
the second consecutive game,
tallying 24 points. Teammate
Ray Whiting pulled down 11
rebounds and handed out nine
assists, a game high, but only
shot three-of-11 from the field.
Oregon’s home and season
opener will be Nov. 29 against
Chico State University.
