The Oregon volleyball team
will face some tough road con
ditions this weekend when it
travels to play Washington and
Washington State in Pacific-It)
competition.
The toughest opponent for
the Ducks may not be the Hus
kies or the Cougars, but the
grueling traveling itinerary the
team will endure.
After flying to Seattle in the
afternoon for a match against
Washington Friday night, the
Ducks will hop on a plane the
next morning, fly to Spokane,
and drive for more than an
hour to play Washington State
in Pullman Saturday night
“The road conditions are
very fatiguing." Coach Gerry
Gregory said. “But there's not a

The Ducks hold down third
place in the Pat:-1() with a 4-;t

last weekend.
Traveling conditions aside,
the Ducks do have a legitimate
chance to gain their first week
end sweep in the Pac-10 sea

were swept last weekend by
California and Stanford, and
are tied with Arizona State for
seventh in the conference Hut
Gregory remains cautious about
the Washington schools.
