UW’s road to Rose Bowl rougher
Oregon State head coach
Mike Riley will face his
old team when the
Beavers play USC
By Ryan Frank
Spans Editor
The road for Rose Bowl that
seemed to rest well paved by
Washington one week ago is now
a lot bumpier.
The Huskies’ loss to Oregon last
Saturday dropped them into a
four-way for first place in the con
ference with a 5-1 record.
Arizona State, Washington
j State, UCLA and Washington are
all tied atop the conference stand
ings with just one loss, but Wash
ington is the only one of the four
teams that controls its destiny for
the Rose Bowl berth.
However, the Huskies final two
games are anything but easy.
No. 13 Washington must travel
to No. 9 UCLA, then return home
the next week to play No. 14
Washington State in the Apple
Cup.
Washington may get its tough
est test of the season from the Bru
ins, who have won their last sev
en and are the conference’s
hottest team right now. And
Washington State always pro
vides a test for Washington in the
Apple Cup.
Still talking
Just when you thought all the
trash talking between the Oregon
Ducks and Washington Huskies
was over with last week’s Oregon
upset — forget it.
In his weekly press conference
on Monday, Washington head
coach Jim Lambright talked about
the Oregon players being motivat
ed by their hate of the Huskies.
“I have a hard time with hatred
in a rivalry,” Lambright told The
Associated Press. “I will never
FOOTBALL
Pac-10 Notes
ever get into it, and I know it’s be
ing coached. It’s a shame it has to
be in the game.”
In a conference call with re
porters on Tuesday, Oregon head
coach Mike Bellotti denied Lam
bright’s statement.
“I don’t coach or teach hatred,”
Bellotti said. “It is a shame that
comments like that come out after
losing a game like that.
“I don’t like [the comment] very
personally. We don’t do that. We
coach emotion. I don’t appreciate
that comment if it is directed at
me.”
Bellotti went on to say it would
be understandable for the players
to dislike Washington after what
was written in the Seattle news
papers.
In the same conference call,
Lambright refuted the idea that he
was referring to Bellotti when he
made the statement.
“I didn’t direct those at any
body except my thoughts about ri
valry games,” Lambright said.
“Any time I read players’ quotes
about hatred, it bothers me be
cause the game isn’t supposed to
be about that.”
Mark Nov. 7,1998, on your cal
endar. That’s when Washington
returns to Autzen Stadium for the
rematch.
Old friends
Oregon State’s game against
Southern California this Satur
day will be more than head
coach Mike Riley’s bid for his
first conference win.
It will be a homecoming of
sorts.
The Oregon State head coach
came to Corvallis this season
from Los Angeles where he was
the Trojans’ offensive coordina
tor for four seasons, but he
shouldn’t expect any hugs from
Southern California head coach
John Robinson.
“That’s an overblown thing,”
Robinson said Tuesday. "We’re
good friends and we like each
other, but once the game starts
there will be no other thoughts
for each other. We’ll just be play
ing the game.”
Riley said after the game
preparation is over, he will be ex
cited to talk with his former co
workers.
“I think as I am going through
the preparation it is Xs and Os,
it’s probably a detached feeling,”
Riley said. “But as the game ap
proaches and 1 see the guys it
means a lot to me. I don’t want it
to be a problem.”
Quips, quotes and numbers
■ USC head coach John Robin
son said he hasn’t looked at any of
the bowl possibilities, but he did
rule out one place the Trojans
won’t play.
“If there's one in the Mojave
Desert, we may not go there,” he
said.
Just for the record, there is no
bowl game in the California
desert.
■ This week’s California-Ari
zona game is a rematch of last sea
son’s four-overtime battle. On a
teleconference call with reporters
Tuesday, California head coach
Tom Holme was still feeling the
effects.
“I’m still tired from that game,”
Holme joked.
■ Of the players who rank in
the top 10, all of whom are quar
terbacks, in total offense in Pac
10, not one is a senior. Six of the
top 10 are juniors (including the
top three), two are sophomores
and two are freshmen.
Ducks look ahead to a bright future
► Returning all but two
players, Oregon will
be a more experienced
team next season
By Alex Pond
Sports Reporter
[ Season No. 2 is in the history
books, and about the only grade
the Ducks can expect is an in
complete.
Perhaps the best judgment of
the 1997 Oregon women’s soccer
team will come from its record
next season.
If the Ducks can turn all the ex
perience and development the
| players and coaches claimed to
be so valuable this season into a
winning record next fall, then
their 5-14-1 record this season
can be chalked up to one big
learning experience.
In just their second campaign,
i the Ducks showed some flashes
j of brilliance and brief glimpses of
what might lie in store for them
| in the future. However, they also
paid the price of youth and inex
perience with several close loss
es and some lapses at inoppor
tune times that often made the
difference in several games.
The season was one of ups and
downs. It started off well, with 14
goals scored and three wins in
Oregon’s first five games.
The Ducks then got into the
meat of a schedule that ranked as
the 18th-toughest in Division 1-A
and suffered a 10-game winless
streak.
They then regrouped in time to
win two of their last five games,
including an impressive 3-1 Civil
War victory over Oregon State to
end the season. During that
stretch the Ducks stood toe to toe
with California in a 1-0 loss that
could have gone either way and
put out a solid effort against Stan
ford for 85 minutes before allow
mg iwo goals in
the last five
minutes of a 4
0 loss.
“I think we
made progress,
which is the
most imDortant
thing,” Oregon head coach Bill
Steffen said. “I think we have a
much better idea of the game,
and I think we’re much better at
possessing the ball and working
the ball amongst ourselves as a
team than we were earlier.
“We’re more of a group than
the collection of individuals we
were when we started out.”
The bottom line is that the
Ducks won just five games, but
for a program in just its second
season of existence, the record is
almost secondary to the develop
ment of the team, Steffen said.
“Our goal was to be .500. We
didn’t achieve that. Obviously,
I’d like to be 20-0, but we’re not,
so we can keep working toward
that. I am very pleased with the
progress we made as far as our
understanding of the game, and I
think that’s probably more im
portant than the record at this
point.”
Although they would have
liked more wins this season, Stef
fen and the Ducks seem to be
banking on the notion that the
experience gained this season
will pay off in the future, a future
that appears to be bright.
Oregon returns all but two
players next season, losing se
niors Katie Odishoo and Louisa
Lakos.
The Ducks will suddenly be
transformed from an inexperi
enced to an experienced team,
but at the same time they will re
main relatively young: just two of
the current players will be se
niors next season.
The majority of the team is
sophomores, a group of 14 play
ers that includes the Ducks’ lead
ing scorer, Sierra Marsh, their
second-leading scorer, Kristi
Morris, goalkeeper Amanda Fox
and the heart and soul of the de
fense, Stacy Hebert and Carrie
McLanahan.
“Sierra and Kristi did a great
job for us in the center part of
midfield,” Steffen said. “They
did a real good job as far as their
work rate and as far as their ef
forts. I thought Carrie McLana
han was really solid in the back.
She’s the one that would start our
controlled offense. She would
win the ball and then find some
body to play instead of just clear
ing it.”
With a new home field next
season and a suddenly experi
enced squad toughened by a gru
eling schedule, the Ducks will
likely have some high expecta
tions next season.
How they handle those expec
tations will go a long way toward
putting the final grade on this
season.
