Huskies upend netters
By Todd Fletcher

The Oregon volleyball team
earned a split decision this
weekend, first caging the
Washington State Cougars, then
succumbing to the bite of the
University of Washington
Huskies.
On Friday, the Ducks had no
problems with a young Cougar
team winning in three games,
15-2, 15-7 and 15-9.
After tournaments in California
and Utah, Duck coach Chris Voelz
said the win over WSU was crucial
because it allowed Oregon, 14-10
this season, to shed itself from
those first home game "jitters".
Those "jitters" weren't too evi
dent in the first game against the
Cougars, as Oregon jumped out
to an 11-1 lead behind the serving
of senior Cathy Hill, the setting of
junior college transfer Lisa
Gemoya and the blocking of Sue
Harbour.
The final two games followed
the format of the first. Harbour
connected on four straight serves
as Oregon opened up a 13-7 ad
vantage in the second game. And
sparked by the play of Gemoya
with the help of a Barb Lutz drop
shot and a kill by Hill, the Ducks
cemented the decision.
The third game was all Harbour
as she served six straight points to
lead Oregon to the win.
"I like beating the Cougars,"
said Harbour, who hails from
Pullman, Wash.
Against Washington, the Ducks
took commanding leads in all five
games. But in each game, save the
second and fourth, the Ducks
found a way to let the Huskies
creep back.
Oregon took an 8-3 lead in the
first game, but the Huskies battled
back to tie the match at eight and
went on to win 15-10.
"They were big hitters," said
Voelz, "but the hard balls didn't
hurt us, it was the little things. The
service reception errors, hitting
shots wide, that's what hurt us."
The second game saw a totally
different Oregon team take the
floor. The Ducks, behind seven
straight serves by Cynthia
Shepherd, proceeded to blow the
Huskies off the court 15-3.
The teams split the next two
games to force the decider.
Pushed to five games for the
first time this season, the Ducks
and Washington played very ten
tatively. Both team's first serves
were net balls and the first score
didn't come until five minutes in
to the contest when Duck Heidi
Eakin's serve was returned long.
Finally settling down, Oregon
looked like it would make it three
straight over the Huskies by pull
ing out in front 12-6. But enter
Washington's Stacy Brittain. The
5-8 senior, who was injured the
first two times the teams met,
served up the last nine Husky

"Hopefully going the five games
will help us in the long run," said
Voelz. "Lutz played great on
defense, but nobody else played
up to par," Voelz added. "We
made too many transitional er
rors. We just didn't play well."

from October 10 through December 2, with the ex
ception of Election Day on Tuesday, November 8
and Thanksgiving, November 24. On October 10,
11, 12, and 13, the volunteers will consist of local
alumni and University faculty and staff. Student
organizations are being asked to provide thirty
volunteers for each evening October 17-20, 24-27,
November 1-3, 7, 9, 10, 14-17, 28-30, December 1
and 2.
Each evening the callers will meet in the Bean Com

tion by the Foundation staff at 6:00 p.m. The calling
will begin at 6:30 p.m. and continue until 9:15 p.m.
Student organizations providing volunteers will

THE ANNUAL
FUND NEEDS
YOUR HELP
In addition to the cash prizes, Joe Farmer is going
to pay each student organization for the volunteers
they provide. With a maximum of 30 callers a night,:
the student organizations will receive *3.00 for each
volunteer they have reporting at 6:00 p.m. and call
until 9:00 p.m. If an organizations provides thirty
callers and wins first place, they will receive *390 for
the evening’s work.
Telefunds not only provide gifts to the University,
they also establish an important line of communica
tion for alumni. Many of the alumni have not heard
from the University, except through the mail, for
many years. The personalized call from campus can
bring back fond memories, update alumni on Univer
sity programs and allow them to ask questions on
other areas of interest.
If your organization is willing to help with this wor
thwhile event, please call Joe Farmer at the Universi
ty of Oregon Foundation, Extension 3016.
