Despite the youth and relative
inexperience of the Oregon
women’s volleyball team, coach
Gerry Gregory is confident that
his team ran be competitive with
nnv school in the Pacific-10 Con
ferenie.
"I'm optimistic that this team
— that if they’re playing a great
match — they can beat anybody
in this league.” said Gregory, who
is in his eighth year of coaching
at Oregon. ”1 don’t think there is
anybody that would say, 'We're
not even going to try.’ "
The volleyball team has fin
ished ninth the past two years in
the Pan-10 However, Gregory

Two disappointing seasons near the bottom of
the league Only two returning starters for the
1993 season.

Kerr said "We've really picked it up in inten

Kerr, u junior beginning her second year as set

Ducks are switching to a swing offense, an audi
ble offense system that takes concentration and
quick verbal processing skills.
However. Kerr said "it's actually easier on me
as a setter because the hitters do a lot of the call
ing."
Kerr has found that the dual role of setter and
returning starter has put her in a leadership posi
