MATHEW STIFFLER/Emerald Forward Arianne Boyer, who is one of four Ducks who have been part of Oregon’s three-straight NCAA tour nament appearances, said the Ducks won’t settle for a first-round loss this season. Basketball: Newcomers bring depth ■ Continued from Page 11A chills up my spine.” After their successful showing last season, the Ducks returned all their players this season, and at the same time, added depth to their roster with the additions of freshmen Jenny Moe and Natasha O’Brien, junior-transfer guard Na talie Hughes and others. Starting the season with an ex hibition game should give the newcomers a chance to adapt to their new surroundings, said head coach Jody Runge. “I think that all the new players are going through a real learning phase,” Runge said. “1 think it is a good test for them and a good chance to see what it is like to get out and play in front of an Oregon crowd.” Oregon’s first game also will give Runge a chance to look at her team’s new depth. “I want to look at some differ ent combinations and try to give everybody a chance to get over the first-game jitters for the new players and look at a lot of differ ent possibilities that we have playing with.” The addition of new players has been positive so far, Boyer said. “The new players are doing re ally well,” Boyer said. “They’ve molded into the system so far re ally well, understanding every thing that is going on. And the old players are helping the new play ers along, and it is great is great to see the good team chemistry.” Not only will the Ducks benefit from their new players this sea son, but also from the return of center Renae Fegent. Because of a rule change last year regarding student athletes who enroll at a university after their 21st birthday, Fegent, 25, was allowed to return for a third season in an Oregon uniform. “It is like a bonus year for me,” Fegent said. “And I am deter mined to make the most of it.” Fegent and the Ducks’ first step in making the most of their 1996 97 season will come Saturday. “I think it is a test to see where we are,” Runge said. "If we win, it is a confidence builder. And if we don’t, it is a great motivation to go back the next several weeks and work hard.” Unfortunately for Runge and the Ducks, they will not be head ing into their season-opening con test with a healthy team. O’Brien, who Runge had con templated starting, has a sprained ankle and hasn’t practiced most of the week. Boeving will get the call at small forward in her place and be joined by Boyer, Fegent, Cindie Edamura and Lisa Bowyer, Runge said. Soccer: Cougars are solid defensively ■ Continued from Page 11A But the Ducks (4-10-2) say they are ready for a change in outcome. “I think we need to win our last two games,” goal keeper Amanda Fox said. “I don’t think we need to end our season with a couple of losses.” But defender Katie Odishoo said a solid showing by the Ducks would be a positive effect on the young team’s future. “Even if we don’t win and we play really well, I still think it is going to be a positive thing,” Odishoo said. “I think if we lose 1-0, that still shows that we can fight. If it is just playing really well together, I think it is going to help our team go into spring really strong.” Washington State (7-6-2 overall, 3-3 Pac-10) comes into today’s match on a two-match winning streak, including a 2-0 win against the Arizona State Sun Devils, who the Ducks tied 1-1. The Cougars are led by a balanced attack with three players who have more than five points on the sea son. Jody Payne and Tina Walsh lead the Cougars with eight points each, while Amy Chippendale is close behind with seven. But offense is not where the Cougars’ strength lies. Washington State goalkeeper Jessica Glazer has al lowed only 14 goals on the season while saving 56 shots. Oregon State, on the other hand, started its season with seven losses before winning four of its next five. However, the Beavers did face some tough competi tion early on. Highly ranked Washington, Connecticut and Port land have all dealt Oregon State losses by a combined total of five goals. “They both have very, very good schedules, and they both have been to real high levels in soccer across the country,” said Oregon head coach Bill Stef fen of his team’s opponents this weekend. “It is going to be very good for us to play teams that are experi enced because obviously experience is one of our short comings right now.” After playing an abbreviated Pacific-10 Confer ence schedule this season, the Ducks will play a full conference schedule next season. miiiiiiiii ■ ■ ■ iiiiiffi rrs 3-6pm Weekdays on KUGN 590AM http.//www.efh.org/~sing/cttb email: sing@efh.org AMERICAN PIE NETWORKS, INC. 1l I I I u 1311 Lincoln Willamette Towers Building 345-1810 Haircuts..$10 reg. $15 with shampoo & conditioner Perms S329S Loop rods 5 9095 & spirals ••••• Jy reg. $50-65 w/ conditioners, cut & style.
