Rematch has Ducks
thinking of revenge
■ SOCCER: Oregon can still feel the sting of Gonzaga’s
two-goal comeback last week
By Ryan Frank
Sports Reporter
The Oregon women’s soccer team will have a little revenge on
its mind when it faces Gonzaga at 1 p.m. today on the soccer field
behind McArthur Court,
One week ago, Oregon (2-4-2) pulled out to a 2-0 lead at halftime
before the Bulldogs mounted a second-half comeback to finish in a
3-3 tie with the Ducks.
There is nothing special about Gonzaga,” freshman defender
Stacy Hebert said. “I think we will beat them out here on our home
field. We’ll all be pumped up to play them at home after last
week.”
In Oregon s last meeting with the Bulldogs, five Ducks were is
sued yellow cards and Hebert was forced to leave the game with a
red card.
“I think we didn't play with as much composure as we should
have, Oregon head coach Bill Steffen said. “If we play with com
posure we play better, we keep the ball moving quickly. We just
need to be able to do that all the time. We do it right now in spurts
— we need to be much more consistent in putting out a good ef
fort.”
Gonzaga (1-5-2) outshot the Ducks 20 to 16 last week, but Hebert

Ducks take off for Washington without four key players
■ VULLEYBALL: Oregon faces No. 18 Washington
and No. 10 Washington State this weekend
By Andrea DeYoung
Assistant Sports Editor
In the midst of a week full of controversy, the Oregon
volleyball team is concentrating on its games this week
end against Washington and Washington State.
The Ducks will be traveling with an unusual lineup due
to NCAA suspensions of six players. The players were cit
ed for exchanging Athletic Department-issued apparel for
vouchers for personal use.
Four players will serve their suspensions this weekend
and two others will sit out the home games against Cali
fornia and Stanford on Oct. 11 and 12.
Co-captains Amy Barnes, a senior, and Casey Crisler, a
junior, will be the most noticeable absences. Barnes has
played in all but two of Oregon’s games this season and
leads the team in kills, solo blocks and digs. Crisler has
been the starting setter since the 1994 season and has 519
of the team’s 609 assists this season.
Sophomore outside hitter Madeline Ernst and junior
middle blocker Tia Stewart are the other two players serv
ing their suspensions this weekend. Ernst has played in all
14 matches for the Ducks this season and contributed 128
kills. Stewart has made an appearance in all Oregon
matches and leads the team with 44 assisted blocks.
In the place of the four starters, junior outside hitters Al
ison Pepe and Shelby Edwards, sophomore setter Lindsay
Mayer and junior middle blocker Dani Cordova are set to
start this weekend. They will join freshman middle block
er Michelle Christ and sophomore middle blocker Alii
White.
Cordova and sophomore outside hitter Tanya Minion
were the other two suspended players and will sit out next
weekend.
The Ducks are still looking for their first Pacific-10 Con
ference win of the season. They face Washington tonight.
The Huskies are 2-1 in the Pac-10 and 12-2 overall in the
season. They lost to Stanford last weekend and beat Cali
fornia.
Leading Washington is Eugene native Angela Bramson,
a senior swing hitter who has 241 kills, 152 digs and 57
blocks. Quick hitter Leslie Tuiasosopo leads the team with
a .341 attack percentage.
The Ducks then travel to Pullman to face the Cougars on
Saturday night. Washington State is ranked No. 10 in the
country despite losing two of its last three, giving the
Cougars a 1-2 conference record and a 10-3 overall record.
Sarah Silvernail is Washington State’s most potent
weapon. The senior middle blocker has 219 kills and 66
blocks. Silvernail ranks among the top players in the
country in kills per game (5.34) and attack percentage
(.401).
