Oregon places third Netters make comeback in Diet Pepsi Classic By MIKE RIPLINGER 01 #*• Em»r»*d Oregon came back strong after a slow start to capture third place in the Diet Pepsi Volleyball Classic, last weekend in MacArthur Court The Ducks dropped California State Sacramento twice Saturday to grab third place California State Fullerton walked away with the championship by beating Santa Clara and winning the title easily with a 4-0 record in round-robin play The Ducks were dropped into the con solation bracket after a heartbreaking loss to Fullerton Friday Oregon had jumped out to a quick two-game lead but Fullerton came charging back They took the next two games and then beat Oregon in the tiebreaker. 15-13 Oregon, who finished 2-2 for the tour nament, lost to Santa Clara Friday night, but came back Saturday to beat Sacramento in four games in the morning and in three games later that night for their third place finish We played pretty well throughout the tournament, said coach Chris Voelz That loss to Fullerton was hard to take, but we came back strong the next day We didn t quit, but kept on trying Oregon played well against Sacramento, never letting them get on track The Ducks frontline was weak Friday, but was vastly improved Saturday They ruled the net against Sacramento with Karen Beamer getting 32 kills and 18 blocks Tamra Chambers contributing 21 kills and seven blocks, and Cathy Hill adding 23 kills We were much better at the net against Sac State than we were earlier in the tour nament Beamer is really playing excellently in the middle-hitter position She got us going against them, contributing a lot to our game Voelz said Due to injuries earlier in the season, Beamer was moved from her position on the side — where she has played for the last three years — to the more complicated middle posi tion It's probably the hardest position to learn, because it is the focal point for the entire attack, but after a slow start she has come on to be dominating at times Beams is really do the job for us this year She has learned a lot during this year, and has been a big factor in our team's play,'' Voelz said Voelz was not the only coach in the tour nament to appreciate the play of the middle hitter She and Cathy Hill were named on the all-tournament team Fullerton's Laurie Jakemer and Vicky Baba, and Santa Clara's Karen Lyffyt, Ann Skelley and Peg Castaldi were also named to the team We have to sustain the high level of competition we did this weekend This is where it really counts for us to to play well.'' Oregon is competing in the UCLA Invita tional Friday and Saturday The competition should probably make for the toughest tour nament this side of nationals If the Ducks are going to be competitive, they will have to have more matches like Saturday's Sacramento match After Saturday s competition, perhaps they re on the right track Continued from Page 11 of what kind of game we had defensively. Brooks said but they did get the points everytime they got the chance, and that was the difference in the game "We need to convert the op portunities we've had into points — we need to start scor ing points early ' For the most part the Oregon defense was able to prevent the Bruins from moving with any consistancy UCLA had trouble doing the same and it was re flected m the final statistics The Ducks had more total yards (266-240), more first downs (19-13) and more time in pos session of the ball (31 23 to 28 37) Many in the crowd of 24,272 appreciated the efforts of the Oregon defense, rising to give them a standing ovation no less than four times, but the offense was unable to provide the same spark Jorgensen came into the game after Owens had directed the team in its first serious drive of the game to the Bruin five yard line But Owens sustained a slightly separated shoulder on an incomplete pass attempt on third and goal and was unable to return to action The Ducks were forced to settle for a 22-yard Jollymour field goal to take an early, 3-0 lead Although Jorgensen made mistakes typical of his level of experience before piloting Oregon to a touchdown in the closing seconds of the game, “Jorgensen played a gutty game at quarterback," the coach said ' The Bruins are a hard-hitting team, but Jorgen sen played a heckuva game under the circumstances ” Now the Ducks look ahead to this week and Washington State The Cougars lost their first game of the season and took a serious blow to their Rose Bowl aspirations when USC thumped them 41-17 It’s hardly likely the Ducks will get any compassion from them The Pack comes back to down Seattle, 34-24 By Associated Press David Whitehurst passed for 205 yards and three touchowns. including a 38-yarder to James Lofton for the go-ahead score late in the third quarter Sunday to lead the Green Bay Packers to a 34-24 National Football League victory over the Seattle Seahawks Jan Stenerud accounted for the Packers final 6 points with a 19-yard field goal with 1 58 to play and a 36-yard field goal with 41 seconds left In other NFL action Sunday, Both teams are 7-2 in the National Football League s NFC East and they meet again in Dallas Dec 13 In the other games.
