SPORTS Continued from Page 12 Cook both added their two cents worth as to why their de fense is so much tougher than it was last year. "The biggest difference is speed," Collins said, "Overall we are a lot quicker and I think we have a much better atti tude than we had last year." Cook, who was one of the main cogs in the defensive line that stopped the Ducks' running attack, said. "We really en joy stuffing the run because that forties them to threw the ball and that allows us to be bettor prepared for their passing at tack.” The Husky defense did give up 302 passing yards to Mus grave but picked off two passes to go with the fumble recov ery. and ended up scoring 14 points off the three Duck turn overs. The only other problem the Huskies had was how to de fend on kickoffs. The Ducks ran back seven kickoffs for 158 yards, including Burwell's 42-yarder to open the third period. Washington’s kicking game is something that is bound to cause some restless nights for James. "It’s a real adventure when we go out there." James said. “I'm not sure it's ever going to get any better until our kickers get the ball down where they're capable of getting it."

Dawnn (Charroin) and lulie (Jeffery) had great nights hitting and were near perfect "We’ve never hit this well against a quality opponent," Gregory said. "We played some inspired defense and had some fan support from Duck fans hen* for tl»«> football Kami* and that really h«»lp«;cl us." The tables turned fur the Ducks in Pullman, though, as the Cougars dominated in games one and three to easily win the match. Washington State led by as many as 10 points in the first game (14-4). and cruised with a 297 hitting percentage for the game. The-Ducks improved their defense in the second game only to come up short, and then the Cougars took con trol in the last game to win the match. “Wo played poorly and looked real tired, but I also thought Washington State played well.” Gregory said. "We had a lough time blocking (the Cougars led 10-t> in that category) and we didn't play well defensively "There were a number of ha sii breakdowns in fundamen tals and Washington State took advantage of them," he said “We need to find some consis tency in our play and we just haven't played well on the sec ond night like we have in pre vious years Adams had 13 kills to lead the Din ks, and Charroin added t2.
