The Duck volleyball team is
ready to turn some heads this
season as the netters have
climbed to 11th in the NCAA
polls with a 12-6 record.
Oregon coach Chris Voelz has
a team which should be a solid
bet to contend for the NorPac
conference title and an NCAA
playoff berth. The netters barely
missed the the playoffs last year
despite posting a 24-18 record.
This year the Ducks are poised
and ready to advance to the
NCAAs.
Oregon coach Chris Voelz
will lead her team into NorPac
conference play this weekend
against the University of
Washington and Washington
State University on the road.
The spikers have attained
their lofty position with
perseverance and hard work,
but Voelz isn’t taking anything
for granted.
“Last year we thought we
deserved to go (to the NCAAs),
but the selection committee re
jected us because we lost to
teams like Weber State,” says
Voelz who entered her seventh
year as head coach.
“This year we are beating the
teams we are supposed to and
doing it decisively,” says
Voelz.
Last season, the Ducks show
ed sparks of brilliance by
beating the likes of third-ranked
University of Southern Califor
nia, seventh-ranked University

Ranked 11th in nation
Netters have point to prove
of Texas and 13th ranked San
Jose State University.
When post-season an
nouncements came, the Ducks
were left out. They are doing
their best this season to see that
won’t happen again. In three
pre-season tournaments, the
Ducks have steadily improved.
To cap off the pre-season,
Oregon won the prestigious
Brigham Young Preview invita
tional last weekend.
“We changed defenses and it
made a big difference," Voelz
said on the BYU triumph which
saw the netters win 17 of 18
games played.
Oregon’s top player is All
America candidate Sue Har
bour. Harbour has been dazzl
ing at the middle hitter posi
tion. Harbour’s All-America
candidacy is justified by her
nation-leading 300 kills.
“Everything is really going
well," says Harbour who enters
her third season with the Ducks.
“We are doing what we are ex
pected to do.”
Harbour isn’t a one-woman
show. She is backed by talented
setter Lisa Gemoya and host of
new recruits.
“The freshmen have helped
immensely,” says Harbour.
“We are stronger in a lot of
areas and everyone is pulling
their weight.”
Voelz’s tern has been boosted
by the return of Shaunna
Koenig. Connie Riel and Cyn
thia Shepherd.
"I think it is more of a motiva
tion factor," says Koenig. "It is
nice to be ranked, but rankings
don't mean anyhthing."
A tribute to Oregon’s play is
that all six losses have been to
nationally-ranked teams.
"I think that shows we’ve
come a long way," says Voelz.
Shepherd feels the Ducks are
different than last year's
version.
"We started at a much higher
level,” says Shepherd. “It is a
totally different team."
With the pre-season behind
them, the Ducks begin con
ference play against an improv
ed WSU team this Friday in
Pullman. Wash., at 7:30 p.m.
Then the Ducks travel to Seattle
for a match against the
Washington Huskies at 8 p.m.
“We have to be prepared for
both,” warned a wary Voelz
who thinks the matches will be
hard fought.
Shepherd thinks the
Washington trip will add more
confidence to the Ducks’ hopes.
“We should come out on top
this weekend," says Shepherd.
“It shouldn’t be a suprise."
