sports Huskies upend netters By Todd Fletcher CM the Emerald 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 LSAT PP |X LSAT • MCAT • GRE 1 GRE PSYCH • GRE BIO MAT • GMAT • DAT OCAT • PCAT • VAT SSAT • PSAT • ACHIEVEMENTS SAT - ACT - TOEFL * MSKP NAT'L MED BOS • ECFMG FLEX • VQE • NDB • RN BOS CF>A • SPEED READING Shn&M-H KflPMM EDUCATIONAL CENTER Test Preparation Specialists Since 1938 For information, Please Call 485-5699 points, four of them aces. "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." Photo by Dave Kao Cynthia Shepherd kills this shot, but it wasn't enough as the Ducks fell to Washington.
