Sports Angry Tigers drop Ducks in dismal NorPac opener by uoug Levy CM the Emerald Arriving in Stockton, Cal , to play the University of Pacific, the Oregon women's volleyball team had two stikes against them. First, they were about to play the 2nd-ranked team in the na tion. Second, they were facing a team that was angry "They had just come off two losses, and when the 2nd-ranked team in the nation is coming off two losses — well, they were not going to give an inch," said Oregon coach Chris Voelz. The Tigers didn't, thrashing the Ducks 15-2,15-3,15-5 to run their record in NorPac Confer ence play to 4-0 and 8-2 overall Meanwhile, Oregon, who lost Stephanie Tambe to an arm in jury in pre-game warmups, fell to 0-1 and 7-5 overall. "They were a very balanced team, more balanced than I’ve seen them before," said Voelz As for the Ducks, "nobody had a stellar performance " Statistics bear Voelz out. UOP had 44 kills to Oregon’s 24 and made only 9 errors compared to 20 for the Ducks. Also, Oregon had only two ace serves throughout the match Only Anetta Ensworth and Sue Har bour, who Voelz calls, "our Bev Smith” had plus attacking per centages It was a stark contrast to a year ago, when Oregon faced a Pacific team that finished 4th in the nation and took the Tigers to the limit before losing 15-7, 15-6, 7-15, 8-15, 15-11 "Har bour had a great blocking game " recalls Voelz But this time the Ducks came out flat and were very tentative, the coach said imported Coffee &Teas 860 E. 13th Ave • Kinko’s- 344-7894 However, on paper, Oregon had expected to lose to Pacific A team they didn't expect to lose to was Fresno State, but the Bulldogs upset the Ducks on Saturday, 15-13, 15-8, 16-14 "That game was one of the biggest disappointments that we've had so far this season,” said Voelz Oregon had beaten FSU soundly in junior national play over the summer, and ' you’d think that if you add older players, the result would be the same," remarked Voelz But the Ducks blew an 11-3 first game lead and a 5-3 second game lead. Voelz said Oregon was weak on blocking, serving, serve receiving and hitting Needless to say, the upset loss to Fresno put a dent in Voeiz' plan to finish in the top four of the conference "We are the much better team, and I ex pected to take them in three (games), but darned if they didn’t take us in three. That sure threw us off I had counted Fresno State as a given (win) Now we ll have to beat someone we re not supposed to, and beat the teams we re even with. It puts a lot more pressure on us " Some critical turnovers and lack of execution dropped the Ducks to 0-2 in league and 7-6 overall, and Oregon has now lost five straight matches as they prepare to host the Univer sity of Washington and Wash ington state this weekend The games against UW and WSU should be classic exam ples of big and slow versus small and quick, according to Voelz. "Washington does not have good passing, and they have a lousy back line, but they THE LAST EPIDEMIC: THE MEDICAL CONSEQUENCES OF NUCLEAR WAR October 9, 1982 Soreng Theater, Eugene, Oregon 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. A Symposium sponsored by the Eugene Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility, being presented to help educate physicians, other health professionals, and community members about the medical effects of “ REGISTRATION Mail to: Physicians for Social Responsibility Enclosed is my check or money order made payable to Eugene Chapter Physicians for Social Responsibility P.O.

The Cougars should not be a problem for Oregon They are 0-3 in league and have lost nine straight games to the University of California, San Jose State and Washington Still, Voelz throws some caution to the wind "They're all going to be tough now We have to prove something '' AL playoffs start today ANAHEIM, Calif.
