Ducks look for win over lowly ‘Cats
By Erick Siudenicka
Emerald Sports Reporter
The Oregon volleyball team
will attempt to improve on its t -
7 record and move out of the
Pacific-10 Conference cellar this
weekend as the Ducks host Ari
zona and Arizona State at
McArthur Court.
Saturday’s match with Ari
zona looms especially large, as
Arizona figures to be a team the
Ducks have an excellent chance
to beat. Arizona went winless in
the Pac-10 a year ago (0-18) and
is rebuilding under first-year
coach David Rubio.
The Wildcats have already
improved on last year's win
total, however, as they beat (Cal
ifornia last week for their first
conference win in two years.
Arizona assistant coach Liz
Towne said the team shouldn't
be compared to last year's 0-18
squad.
"We have a young team
which is comprised of a lot of
new players We're probably the
only team in the l’ac-10 which
is starting a freshman at setter.”
Towne said "We've got a new
coach and a new coaching phi
losophy. so last year's record
won't tell you much about our
team.’’
No matter how improved the
Wildcats are. Oregon outside
hitter LaKeina Woods said she
will he disappointed if the
Ducks don't heat Arizona
"We should crush them in
three games.” Woods said. "It
would almost tie embarrassing if
we lost to Arizona at home."
Woods said that despite loss
es at UCLA and USC last week
end, the team has been playing
much better.
"Our middle blockers. Anne
Conway, Marcie Price and
karissa Meith. have been
unstoppable in recent games."
Woods said.
The Arizona match, originally
scheduled fur Saturday night
and then rescheduled to Sunday
morning because of the time
conflict with the Washington
football game, has once again
been rescheduled for Saturday
afternoon at 12 30 p.m
Arizona State enters
McArthur Quirt Friday night for
a 7 p m start with a sub- 500
Pac-10 winning percentage (3-4)
but a top-20 ranking (Iflth). one
of six Pac-10 schools within the
top 25 UCLA, with its 13-0
overall record remains No 1 in
the polls, followed closely by
conference rival Stanford (12-2)
The Sun Devils are led by
freshman outside hitter Chris
tine Carner, who is among the
conference leaders in kills (4 Hi
per game) and hitting percent
age ( 316). Statistical leaders for
the Ducks include Stephanie
Warren in the kill department
(2,62) and Kanssa Meith in hit
ting percentage ( 205).
