Ducks complete weekend road sweep
By Doug Levy
Of tb« Emerald
Revenge was on the mind of coach Chris
Voelz when the Oregon women s volleyball team
prepared to take on the University of Washing
ton in Seattle Saturday night
Revenge because the tall Huskies had
swept her team in three straight games the last
time they met. and because the Ducks had never
beaten UW during Voelz five-year reign at
Oregon
Oregon got that revenge, beating the Hus
kies in three straight games. 15-4. 15-13, 15-7
Beating Washington makes our season, said
an excited Voelz
That sounds like an overstatement from the
coach of a team that sports a 10-10 record
beating a team that was 5-15. until one
remembers that the Huskies have been an
unbreakable barrier for the Ducks
"We have such a tense rivalry with them
We’ve come close before, but this time we didn t
even mess around We took it right to them,
said Voelz
Three weeks earlier in Eugene, the Ducks
hadn't even come close UW s huge front line of
Lynn Poelstra. Becky Stone and Abby Lyons (all
three stand 6-1) had demoralized the Ducks with
a combined 25 kills, and setter Starry Suttich
had set up the kills with brilliant court coverage
Oregon had been unable to read where the kills
were going, and Voelz took part of the blame for
that
This time, the Ducks were ready. Voelz'
team used their quickness, and her blockers,
after watching the Huskies on film, knew what
Stone and company were up to Oregon had 13
blocks against UW, and Sue Harbour exploded
for 13 kills, while Stephanie Tambe had 7 and
Annetta Ensworth 6
Sue played terrifically We outhit them at
the line, which is something we've never really
done before said Voelz
And the Ducks outquicked the Huskies as
well With Shaunna Koenig in the lineup, Voelz
feels she has one of the quickest teams around,
and UW was no match for Oregon in that
department
' They're huge at the line, said Voelz. "but
we outplayed them We re so much quicker, we
brought the ball to the net and converted
We forced them to make a lot of errors."
added Voelz They were running all over the
place trying to catch up to us
Now I can graduate." was the claim of
Ensworth, a senior who experienced the thrill of
victory over UW for the first time
Friday night. Oregon had crunched an
outmanned Washington State team. 15-8,15-10,
15-9 When the teams last played, it had taken
the Ducks four games to subdue the Cougars,
and Voelz' goal for this match was to win in
ihree
Oregon did. outblocking the taller Cougars
11-8 while serving effectively. "We served them
right oft the court We took the be!! to their big
hitters and forced them to make mistakes," said
Voelz
The two wins in the apple state boosted
Oregon to a 4-6 mark in NorPac league play, and
an 11-10 record overall However, with only two
league games remaining (both against rival
Oregon State), the conference playoffs are out
of reach for the Ducks.
Martin with the Yanks?
NEW YORK (AP) - New York
Yankees owner George
Steinbrenner said Sunday that
two-time Yankees Manager Billy
Martin is a leading candidate to
take the job again
"Billy s right in the middle of
it, but no decision's been
made," Steinbrenner said in an
interview on CBS-TV "We'd like
to have Billy back in New York "
Steinbrenner said he was
looking for a high-profile
manager He said that in looking
over career records, he learned
that many big names don't have
winning records He listed retir
ing Baltimore Manager Earl
Weaver and Martin among the
few who have won consistently.
Billy's a draw, there's no
doubt about it." Steinbrenner
said
Clyde King took over the
Yankees' managerial job late
last season on an interim basis
after Gene Michael was fired
