Spartans trip netters
By Robert Collias
Of the Emerald
The Oregon volleyball team was miss
ing the killer instinct last Friday night at
McArthur Court as the Ducks dropped a
NorPac conference match to San Jose
State University 17-15, 15-11, 14-16 and
15-9.
The Ducks, ranked 12th in the nation
coming into last weekend’s play, came
back strong Saturday night to defeat the
University of Santa Clara in three games
15-6, 15-9 and 15-6. The weekend split
left Oregon at 4-1 in the NorPac con
ference and 16-7 overall.
Although the Ducks won Saturday,
Oregon coach Chris Voelz was less than
pleased with Friday night’s result
against the Spartans of San Jose State.
The Ducks seemed to have many oppor
tunities to take command of the match —
only to see the SJSU continually take the
wind out of Oregon’s sails.
“The sad part was we never came out
and said, ‘We are going to take the
lead,’’’said Voelz of the SJSU loss.
That loss may come back to haunt the
Ducks in the future. With the win, the
Spartans are in sole possession of first
place in the NorPac lead with a 7-0
record after beating Oregon State Univer
sity Saturday. Oregon will be pressed to
catch the Spartans in the standings.
Voelz didn’t have any regrets as to
how her team played against the 14th
ranked SJSU team.
“I thought we played well, except we
just couldn’t take command.” said
Voelz. “San Jose played better defense
than I’ve ever seen them play and we had
a hard time adjusting to their experienc
ed middle.”
Voelz said Oregon middle blockers
Laurie Krejcha and l.aurie Hattemer had
a hard time adjusting to the play of SJSU
middle-hitter Felicia Schulter.
"We had to take a chance on a couple
of occasions and we came up empty,”
said Voelz. “You can tell our youth in
the middle. That isn’t a knock, but they
are just freshmen, and it is tough for
freshmen in the middle.”
Schulter was a big reason for the
Ducks’ troubles in the middle. Schulter
had 19 kills, and she was extremely ef
fective with a .485 hitting average,
average.
SJSU coach Dick Montgomery gave
credit to Schulter’s effort against the
Ducks.
“She is a real streak player,” said
Montgomery. “When she's in a streak
she’s just awesome.”
Oregon received a couple of unex
pected sterling performances against
SJSU.

Shaunna Koenig tries for a kill as the Ducks buried the University of Santa Clara
in three straight games Saturday night at McArthur Court.
Freshman Teri Kramer had 19 kills,
and Cynthia Shepherd rejoined her
teammates after being out a week with a
broken finger.
“Kramer played her best match and
Shepherd played exceptionally well for
only two days of practice,” said Voelz.
“Shepherd might have been a little rus
ty, but she adds so much to our offense,”
The Ducks rebounded against Santa
Clara with an easy threo-gaine victory.
All-America candidate Sue Harbour had
19 kills for the winning Ducks while
Shepherd added another 18. The win
moved the Ducks’ record to 16-7 overall.
Men runners win, but Duck women lose
Despite rain and hail, Chris
Hamilton managed to lead the
Oregon men’s cross country
team to a win in the Tokatee In
vitational meet Saturday in Blue
River.
“It was a kind of miserable
day to run,” said Hamilton who
crossed the finish line at
30:53.3. Hamilton's win paced
Oregon’s No. 1 team to 31
points while the Ducks’ No. 2
team finished in third with 51
points.
Two of Oregon’s top runners
didn’t have spectacular meets.
Mike Blackmore pulled up at
the three mile mark and John
Zishka, nursing a bad foot,
decided not to run.
“It’s a big change when you
have to go without your best
runners,” said assistant men’s
coach John Gillespie.
Dan Nelson and Matt
McGuirk finished 6th and 7th in
times of 31:22.8 and 3f:23.8.
"There wasn’t as good a
grouping as we’d like to see.”
said Gillespie. “We need to br
ing some of the other runners
closer to the front.”
While the men’s team won,
the Oregon women’s team
didn't have as much success.
The women’s cross country
team fell to the second-ranked
Wisconsin Badgers Saturday in
Madison, Wis.
Oregon, which went into the
Wisconsin-Burger King Invita
tional rated number one in the
nation, saw its hopes for an
undefeated season closed out by
the impressive performance of
the host Badgers. Wisconsin
easily took first place with a
score of 77 to the Ducks’
second-place 96 in the nine
team field:
Wisconsin’s best two runners '
finished impressively: Katie
Ishmael captured first place
with a 16:29 clocking, while
Cathy Branta finished in fourth
place at 16:41. .
Oregon’s Kathy Hayes was
the first Duck to cross the finish
line, taking fifth place in 16:49.
The next finisher for Oregon
was junior Kini Roth who
finished 17th with a time of
17:22.
