VOLLEYBALL / TENNIS 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).
