A band was playing somewhere,
and Casey’s heart seemed 1 ight.
And somewhere the PGA was
crying, and traditionalists they
did shout;
But on the green there was great
joy,
as Casey’s putt holed out.

Hockey team splits games with UCLA
The Ducks drop to 8-5 in
the Pac-8 with their loss
to UCLA Saturday
By Tim Pyle
Freelance Sports Reporter
The second half of the season
began with a split for the Oregon
Club Sports hockey team against
UCLA. The Ducks prevailed 6-3
on Friday night and lost to the Bru
ins 4-3 on Saturday at Lane Coun
ty Ice Arena.
A season-long trend continued
for Oregon on Friday when it
scored the first goal and went on
to win the game. The Ducks led
the entire way after taking a 2-0
lead in the first period. Oregon is
now 7-0 when scoring the initial
goal in their contests.
“We played solid,” center Eric
Williams said. “We actually
played one of our better games all
around.”
Saturday night was a different
story for the Ducks, who dropped
to 8-5 with the loss. Oregon lost
momentum early when goalkeep
er Stuart Robertson and winger
Pete Dennett were thrown out of
the game following a skirmish in
front of the Ducks’ goal. Ezra
Louthis provided a bright spot for
Oregon with
two goals.
UCLA im
proved to 7-3
overall.
"We have
to play like
we did on Friday,” Williams said,
looking forward to Oregon’s re
maining six regular season games.
“It was a complete 180 from Fri
day to Saturday.”
The Bruins and Ducks are likely
to meet again at the Pacific-8
Hockey Conference Tournament
in Eugene on Feb. 21 and 22. The
top three teams in the final confer
ence standings and the host quali

Equestrian team earns five ribbons
The Oregon Club Sports eques
trian team earned five ribbons on
Saturday at a show at UC Davis.
Megan Robinson won first place
in fences and second place in the
flat category in the novice divi
sion. Kimberly Franklin, in her
first collegiate-level show, earned
a first place in the flat category of
the novice division. Christina
Gomez-Novy placed sixth in flat
category in the advanced division.
Megan Starkey placed fifth in
western in the advanced division.
Rachel Turner, Melisa Maddux,
Megan Craig, Jen Luck and Alison
Kerr also competed for Oregon.
The results from the show display
the drastic improvement the team
has made this year, Robinson said.
"The team was almost nonexis
tent last year and the year before,”
she said.
Women: Stanford Pac-10 win streak at 48
■ Continued from Page 5
from the weekend, No. 11 Stanford traveled to No. 9 Ari
zona on Monday fora rare Monday night Pac-10 game.
The game was originally scheduled for Jan. 31, but
was moved up so both the Cardinal and the Wildcats
could compete in the Pac-10/Big 12 Challenge in Lub
bock, Texas, that weekend.
Because of the change, Stanford must make two
trips to the desert this season, returning Jan. 29 to play
Arizona State.
Tom player of the week
Arizona State’s Michelle Tom was named the Pac
10 player of the week, largely for her buzzer-beating
heroics in the win over Washington on Thursday.
Tom did a little of everything, averaging 13 points,
4.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists while shooting 53.8 per
cent from the floor as the Sun Devils swept the Wash
ington schools.
In the first start of her career, the junior hit two three
pointers in the final 10 seconds against Washington.
Doubling up
Washington junior forward Amber Hall leads the
conference in double-doubles, reaching the feat nine
times in 12 games.
Hall’s total is more than twice as many as the sec
ond-place player in that category, Arizona’s Adia
Barnes, who has four.
Hall grabbed a season-high 21 rebounds against
Arizona State, upping her league-leading rebounding
average to 11.8.
Odds and ends
Arizona State recorded back-to-back conference
wins last weekend for the first time in two seasons ...
With a 72-52 win at California last Friday, Stanford
stretched its Pac-10 winning streak to 48 games. The
Cardinal’s last conference loss was against Oregon
State in 1995 ... UCLA swept the Oregon schools on
the road last weekend for the first time since the 1991
92 season ... With Washington ranked No. 7 it was
the highest ranking team Arizona has ever beaten.
