Woods stars for
troubled Ducks
□ LaReina Woods has been a
bright spot as Oregon’s volleyball
team struggles for continuity
By Enck Studenicka
Fmerakl Sports Reporter __
Although ''inconsistent" would l>e tho host
word to describe this year's Oregon volleyball
team, that word would hardly apply to sopho
more outside hitter LaReina Woods
While other Oregon players play spectacularly
one night and seemingly disappear the next,
Woods has established herself as a team leader
through her consistent play Since the start of F’ti
ciflc-10 Conference play 10 games ago, Woods
has led the team in kills four limes and has a
team high 22(1 attack percentage.
"Since I'm one of the primary attack players. I
have to be fairly consistent," Woods said. "Couch
puts a lot of pressure on the outside hitters, so
that's good if people feel I've become more con
sistont."
Woods laugher! when she learned that she had
one of the team's highest averages in kills and at
tack percentages.
“That's because no ono knows who I am'"
Woods said. "I didn't do much last season, so
teams don't think I’m much of a threat They'll
put their Ires! defensive blockers on Stephanie
(Warren, the Ducks' middle blocker), which
makes It much easier for me to score "
Although she might say otherwise, opposing
volleyball coaches certainly know about Woods
She was one of tho top prep athletes in Oregon
history, an all-slate volleyball and basketball
player, as well as a four-time slate i hump in the
100 and 200 meter sprints
liven (bough she went to high m hool in Corval
lis, Woods said she never felt much pressure to
