Duck netters succumb to OSU
in last match of losing season
By lack Millikin
Emerald Sports Reporter
As the cheers enveloped Gill
Coliseum following Oregon
State's 15-10. 15-9. 10-15. 4-15.
15-9 victory over the Ducks, it
became apparent that the ech
oes of a losing season would re
verberate among Webfoot play
ers and coaches until they took
the floor in 19H9.
While the Beavers celebrated
their first win against the
Ducks in 11 tries dating back to
1983, the frustrations of the
Ducks' nightmare season cul
minated into a moment of de
spair.
Duck middle blocker Dawnn
Charroin lay motionless on the
court after the match point fell
in Webfoot territory just sec
onds before. Teary-eyed out
side hitter Kate Harper found
solace in a barren section of
Gill Coliseum seats as she re
flected on the season's misfor
tunes. Senior back row special
ist Tina Adolph, playing the
last game of her collegiate ca
reer, had hoped to pull off a
win for a specific reason.
“One of the main things was
that, with a win tonight. Ore
gon State would have been the
only team that I could say that
(Oregon) had always beaten
during my career," Adolph
said. “Now I can't say that."
“We made a lot of unforced
errors tonight." Oregon coach
Gerry Gregory said. "We had a
lot of missed defensive oppor
tunities as well. We had a lot of
confidence going in to the fifth

game, but we botched some
chances to go ahead.”
With the loss, the Ducks end
the season at 8-19 overall and
2-16 in the I’acific-10 Confer
ence, good for a tie with Ore
gon State for last place in the
conference. The loss was the
Ducks* 18th in their last 17
matches and extends the
Webfoots’ school record losing
streak to 13. The Duck winning
percentage of .296 marks the
first sub-par campaign in Greg
ory's nine year career as a head
coach.
"(OSU head coach) Guy
(Knriques) is really turning
their program around,” Adolph
said in regards to the Beavers'
13-24 finish this year as op
posed to 8-24 in 1986 and 3-25
in 1987.
For the season. OSU has been
drawing impressive reviews for
its defensive performances.
Outside hitter Tricia Becker
and Julie Leamon collected 18
digs each while adding 18 and
17 kills, respectively, and
sophomore middle blocker Hel
en Hoonhout tied an OSU
school record with eight solo
blocks.
On the offensive side, Lea
mon and Kristy Wing logged
three service aces apiece as the
Beavers made life tough for the
Duck defense, racking up 10
service aces for the match.
For the Ducks, Michele
Krebsbarh hammered 22 kills
to lead both sides and helped
on the defensive end with 16
digs. Charroin added 13 kills
and also combined with fellow
middle hlocker Denise Kuhn
(10 blocks) to help the
Webfoots outblock the Heavers
27-15.
"This year we have won
more matches than the two pre
vious years combined, so we
have proven that we have the
abilities to compete.” Enriques
said. “Sometimes a team will
have contributions by six or
seven players, but tonight we
got contributions from all 11
players."
"We're a young team, and I
think we just need some more
experience,” outside hitter Ju
lie Jeffery said. “1 know we
will be a better team next
year.” However, the question
of how the demise of the Ducks
came about still lingers, and
answers are few.
"It may be a question of be
ing motivated to become a good
team," Gregory said. "It could
be that I'm not doing a good
enough job as a coach. 1 just
don’t know."
"I guess we’ll find out in the
off-season what kind of team
we are,” junior middle blocker
Stephanie Drier said. “Each of
us will have to take a look at
our individual roles and go
from there.”

An Oregon Pioneer Family’s History
Skookum
SHANNON APPLEGATE
How did il feel to he a mother witnessing the death of her child on the
way to Oregon, or to be a settler’s son watching his Indian friends round
ed up in the dead of winter and marched off to the reserves? What did it
do to the course of a young woman's life when she learned that her father
had scratched her name from the family Bible? What son of world was it
where an old blue sugar bowl filled w ith gold dust could be unconcerned
ly set out in plain sight? To answer these questions about her own fami
ly’s crossing to and settlement of Oregon. Shannon Applegate has gone
beyond the better-known and occasionally illustrious lives of male
Applegates. She has delved into the thousands of family documents, let
ters, journals, recollections, manuscripts, sketchbooks, and photographs
that survived because they were cherished and protected by generations
of female relatives before her. Shannon Applegate has fashioned these
richly detailed sources into a narrative of extraordinary scope and power
that brings this family and the emerging West dramatically to life.
Shannon Applegate’s visit with several elderly Applegate relatives in 1467
changed the course of her creative life. Soon after, she moved to the Yon
colla Valley and into the old Applegate house, her ancestral home and
principle setting for Skookum. Several Applegate pieces have been
published in The Northwest Review. Shannon Applegate has spent seven
teen years researching and writing this book. She lives in Roseburg.
