Netters edged by Beavers
Oregon comes within one game of upset
By Brent Paz

That old force, momentum,
came into play in a Civil War
volleyball match between
Oregon and Oregon State,
Saturday night at McArthur
Court.
Oregon won two of the first
three games to spur upset
hopes, but it was the more ex
perienced Beavers who prevail
ed, throttling the Ducks in five
games in the NorPac Con
ference opener for both teams.
Eighteenth-ranked OSU won
the match 13-15, 15-2, 13-15,
15-10, 15-4, in what was an up
and down affair. The Ducks were
in control of the match several
times, but saw victory slip
through their grasp.
“I was worried about this
game from the very first time I
saw Oregon play because they
are a very, very strong team,”
said first-year OSU coach |im
lams, whose team is now 16-3
and 1-0 in conference. "I'm glad
we got a win.”
Oregon, which dropped to
14-11 on the season and 0-1 in
conference, exploded at the
beginning of the match. The
Ducks jumped to an early lead in
the first game, thanks to the play
of setter Lisa Cemoya and All
America candidate Sue Harbour.
The Ducks broke from an early
2-2 deadlock to take a comman
ding 11-5 lead before holding on
for a 15-13 triumph.
The setters had momentum
going into game two, but OSU
quickly regrouped. The match
was evened at a game apiece
after OSU demolished the
Ducks 15-2.
Oregon's inspired play awoke
OSU's sleeping giant, 6-2 Julie
Steding. Steding had two kills
and two blocks in the second
game and was an intimidating
force for the rest of the match.
Gemoya said Oregon's
strategy to silence Steding was
unsuccessful.
"She had a good game. She
played really well," Gemoya
said. "We had a pre-game plan to
stop her, but we just didn't go
through it as well as we
planned."
OSU picked up where it left
off in the second game and
jumped to a comfortable 11-5
lead in game three.
However, the "flying, diving,
digging Ducks" lived up to their
nickname and roared back from
the deficit to knot the score at
13. Senior Cathy Hill served the
last five Oregon points and
Heidi Eakin, a replacement for
injured Shaunna Koenig, had
some key blocks as the Ducks
came within one game of a win
with a 15-13 victory.
Eakin's play throughout the
match was a pleasant surprise to
her teammates.
"Heidi is a great player. She is
coming along real well," said
Harbour, who battled the flu
bug all week. "It seems like she
has been out here more than a
year the way she has been
playing.”
The pivotal fourth game went
to the Beavers. Oregon led 9-7,
but Duck miscues around the
net, combined with the constant
pressure of OSU's front line of
Tami Rogers, Shari Jamison and
Steding, led the Beavers to a
15-10 decision.
"I think the turning point was
probably the middle of the
fourth game,” said lams, who
saw his team on the brink of its
fourth loss.
OSU didn't play tentatively
from that point on, taking a com
manding 8-1 lead in the final
game. The Beavers never looked
back, winning the clincher, 15-4.
Oregon coach Chris Voelz was
happy with the play of Gemoya
and her team, but she thought
the Ducks should have won the
match.
"Lisa Gemoya played a great
match,” Voelz said, adding, "we
never gave up — I was pleased
with our play. We should have
beaten them in four games.”
The Gemoya-Harbour connec
tion clicked nicely against OSU.
Harbour led the Ducks with 20
kills, and Gemoya assisted on
many of those with pinpoint set
ting. Cynthia Shepherd added 11
kills for the Ducks, while Rogers
led OSU with 20 kills.
"It was depressing," said
Eakin, a freshman from
LaGrande. "We did some things
we shouldn't have done and
lost.”

'Wheeze Kids/
Baltimore have
Series meeting
from A*MKialed Press reports
In a stirring statement for senior
citizens everywhere, the elderly
Philadelphia Phillies captured the
National League pennant,
finishing off the Los Angles
Dodgers 7-2 Saturday in
Philadelphia in the fourth game of
the Championship Series.
The old folks got some impor
tant help from some junior
members of their cast. Gary Mat
thews, a youngster of 33, and Sixto
Lezcano, who is just 29, smashed
home runs that triggered the
victory.
Tuesday, the "Wheeze Kids"
meet the Baltimore Orioles, a 3-0,
10-inning victor over the Chicago
White Sox in Chicago Saturday.
Baltimore's victory was
engineered by the combined
10-hit pitching of Storm Davis and
Tippy Martinez and sparked by
Tito Landrum's 10th-inning solo
homer. The win gave the Orioles a
3-1 triumph in the best-of-five
American League Championship
Series.
Pitching was the overriding
reason for the Orioles' win. They
allowed the White Sox to score
only three times in four games.
The Phillies staked Steve
Carlton to a quick lead with Mat
thews' towering three-run
homerun off Dodger pitcher Jerry
Reuss in the first inning. Carlton
won his second game of the series
with relief help from A! Holland.
Holland came on to spell Carlton
and save Philadelphia's 1-0 win in
game one.
The World Series begins in
Baltimore Tuesday with the
Phillies' John Denny facing Scott
McGregor of the O's. Denny has a
19-6 record, McGregor 18-7. Game
two, on Wednesday, will be in
Baltimore also.
