doing — I have to be one of the hardest workers out there "
The confidence that Kbit has in her team is apparent
in her tone of quiet determination
"I think we can be as good or bad as we want to be."
she said, "if we have our heads in the game, are focused
and working hard. I think we ruin compote with any team
in the Pac-10."
The exercise and movement major is excited about the
youth of the team, particularly in regards to the future
"It's exciting." Kerr said. "A lot of our team is sopho
mores and juniors that are going to be out there on the
court next year. The fact that we will have nearly every
one track is really good."
Woods said she feels Hedberg offers more in experi
ence in leadership, whereas she offers more athletically.
Because Woods is a two-sport athlete (the only woman
two-sporl athlete at Oregon) and does track in the spring,
it affects her leadership role
"With me doing track in the off-season, I think a lot
of the leaders on the team come from the off-season I
think I add to the athletic part of it," Woods said.
Like KetT. Woods has confidence in her team
"I'd like to see us play a real consistent, high-intensi
ty game There is not a lot of room for error." Woods
said "I think the things we are doing in our preseason
are helping to ensure that we maintain a high level of
intensity If we can play like that. I think we can be hi
the top live in the Pnc-10."
The two new assistant coaches. Patty Jayne and
Kirsten Frazer, have contributed much to the new atti
tude of the team
"Our assistant coaches are adding new levels of
aggressiveness. We've been focusing a lot on the auto
matic things wn should know how to do and sotting our
Rod*."
The swing hitter and record-holding lOO-meter sprint
er said she will be able to fot us more on volloyball this
year.
"I'm red shirting track this season so I can concentrate
on volleyball." Woods said. "It helps me athletically and
academically "
Woods, a junior six lologv maior. will then have her
fifth year of school to concentrate on trai k She said she
did initially have some problems academically hut now
is on track
"The tutoring is exceptional and I know that it takes
a lot of discipline to not go out with your friends when
you have to study." she said
Woods said it is a new team out there on the court
"The attitudes have changed It's a brand new team,
even with the people who have come hack." she said

Linebacker Jerrot Willard estab
lished himself as one of the
league's top defensive players last
year when he led the league with
12.1 tackles [>er season Cal's spe
cial teams should be solid as well
behind kicker Dave Brian, who
connected on 16 of 18 field goals
and all 28 extra points a year ago.
Projected record: 6-6. 3-5
Arizona Slate: The
Sun Devils' fate this
season will depend
strongly on a healthy
return from injury by
running back Mario
Bates Bates ranked among the
nation's leaders last year with 441
yards m three games before a
knee injury ended his season.
The rest of Arizona State's
offense revolves around quarter
back Grady Benton, who set an
NCAA freshman record by com
pleting 66.2 percent of his pass
es last year. The Devils' offensive
line returns four starters from a
year ago. which should only help
Benton and Bates.
Arizona State must fill a lot of
holes on defense, but it has a top
player to build around in defen
sive lineman Shante Carver. The
6-foot-5, 240-pound defensive
lineman recorded 10 sacks Iasi
year to give him It in his career.
Projected record: 5-6, :t-5
Washing) o n
State: There w ill
lx' a different look
coming out of
Pullman this year,
as the normally
lngh-s< oring Cougars will rely on
a steady defense to lead the team
The Cougars' defense is led by
All-Amerii an candidate line
backer Anthony McClanahan,
who has averaged 142 tackles in
each of the past two years bight
other starters return on defense
for the Cougars us well, giving
them one of the most experienced
defenses in the league.
Washington State's problem
this year will he one it has not
had in years: finding the end
zone. Senior Mike Pattinson takes
over an offense that lost nine
starters from last year's squad,
which led the Pac-10 in yard* per
game
The Cougars suffered serious
blows in the off-season when
offensive stars Drew Bledsoe and
Phillip Bobo declared themselve'
eligible for the NFI.. and running
back Derek Sparks was lost foi
the venr berani.se of an injury
Projected res ord: 4-7, 2-tt
Oregon State

this program i*
going is still n
question, but r
history is any
then the answer is
not far It has been more than twc
dei ades sim e the Heavers havt
had .1 winning r«« ord. and that
will not i hange this year
The Beavers will look ti
improve a passing game that aver
aged only tH y ards |ht game last
year, but rushing the ball is still
yvhat the Beavers will do most
Oregon State returns seven of it
top eight rushers from last yent
and will feature a three-back set
in the wish fume offense
Oregon State's defense should
he improved this season with
eight starters back from a yuat
ago The defensive line is ques
tionahle, but the secondary and
linebackers should fie steady
Tony O'Billovfch and Rico Petri
m lead the linebacking corps
Projected record: 3-B, 1-7
