By Jayson Jacoby
Emerald Sports Reporter
Playing the third- and tenth
ranked vollnyhull teams in the
country on successive nights is
quite a challenge.
Hut facing third-ranked and
defending national champion
UCLA and tenth-ranked and
undefeated USC without the
services of sturters Martin Price
(broken finger) and senior team
captain Mindue Adams (shin
splints) proved too much for
tho Oregon Ducks over the
weekend
Tho losscrs to the Bruins and
the Trojans drop the Ducks’ Pa
cific-10 Conference record to
0-2, 10-4 overall.
A McArthur Court crowd of
r»Hl on Saturday watched Ore
gon push the (i-0 Trojans to
four gumus, hut the Ducks
couldn't find the consistency
they needed to pull out a win.
"We struggled most of the
night," Oregon coach Curry
Gregory said. "At times wo
blocked well, hut no cornpo
nent ot our game was consis
lonlly strong, which we need to
treat USC next time."
Morcolo Morales and Katie
Haller each had four Kills as
Southern Cal won the last (right
points to win the first game.
15-7
Oregon rebounded in the sec -
ond game behind a strong
blocking line and five kills
from senior Dawnn Ohnrroin to
win 15-10 Senior Molly Mc
Grath and freshman Stephanie
Warren combined on a game
ending block
Haller had lit kills in the fi
nal two games as the Trojans
closed out thtr match, 15-7,
15-ti Haller led DSC with 1H
kills and Stnfanlc IlodIson add
od 13.
Warren had a strong game for
the Ducks, collecting 10 kills
and a team-high 13 digs
Charroln led Oregon with 11
kills
The four-game loss prevented
the Ducks from achieving a
split for the homestand, after
they were dominated by UCLA
<1 night earlier, 15-3, 15-7. 15-8.
All-American Natalie Wil
liams led the Bruin attack with
15 kills, and Elaine Youngs
added 12 kills.
"UGLA Is a very talented and
powerful team," Gregory said.
"And we started throe fresh
men (LaKoina Woods, Stepha
nie Warren, Angee Henderson)
against a pre-season number
one too in.”
The Ducks never got any mo
mentum going during the three
games After Oregon took a 2-0
lead in the second game, the
Bruins scored nine of the next
10 points to take control.
Charroin led the Ducks with
seven kills, and Woods added
six kills and eight digs
The Bruins' record now
stands at 2-0 in i’uc-10 play, 7-1
overall.
Gregory remained optimistic
after the two lossirs, and says he
believes Oregon will ixi a better
team when it meets the two
