Oregon loses footing in Hawaii
Oregon loses two games in
Hawaii to fall to 3-3 after
starting strong this season
By Tim Pyle

After a best-ever 3-1 start, the
Oregon women’s soccer team
must have thought it was in par
adise.
Ironically, it was a trip to
Hawaii that brought the Ducks
tumbling back down to earth.
Oregon (3-3) lost both of its
games in the Outrigger Shootout
in Honolulu on Sept. 18 and 19,
scoring just one goal in the
process.
Despite the losses, head coach
Bill Steffen said he hopes the is
land experience will become a
positive one for the Ducks.
“It was the kind of trip that obvi
ously we need because we need to
be mature as players, in the sense
that no matter if we go to Hawaii
or the Yukon Territory or whatev
er, we’ve got to show up and play
regardless of distractions,” Steffen
said. "I think part of it was not so
much the distractions of Hawaii,
but also we’ve had a bit of success,
we were feeling very good about
ourselves, and we forgot about the
things that made us feel good
about ourselves.
“When you show up and don’t
play like you’re capable of, you’re
going to run into unfortunate re
sults. And that’s what happened.”
On Sept. 18, host Hawaii beat
Oregon, 2-1, even though the
Ducks scored first and outshot the
Rainbows, 15-10.
Freshman forward Chalise
Baysa scored her sixth goal of the
season — already one more than
Kristi Morris and Sierra Marsh
scored to lead Oregon in 1997 —
on midfielder Morris’ first assist of
the season just four minutes into
the match. But the Ducks’ inability
to capitalize on numerous other
scoring chances at Ala Wai Field
allowed Hawaii to bolster its
record to 4-0, Steffen said.
Oregon’s frustration rose to new
heights Sept. 19 against San Diego,
as the Ducks were shut out for the
first time of the season. The match
was scoreless through 70 minutes
until the Toreros (4-2) scored
twice in less than seven minutes

to provide the final 2-0 margin.
Oregon was outshot, 24-9, and re
lied upon goalkeeper Amanda
Fox’s 10 saves to keep close.
With 12 days off between that
San Diego match and their Oct. 2
home match against San Francis
co, the Ducks are in the midst of a
second fall training camp. Steffen
said he purposely configured the
schedule to give Oregon the
respite.
Increasing the team’s overall fit
ness and speed of play are the two
main goals during the mini-camp,
Steffen said.
"We’re capable of playing at a
very good pace, but if we don’t re
member to keep our attacking
shape, it drops,” Steffen said, “and
we tend not to play as intelligently
as we need to.”
The Ducks, 2-0 at home, will
look to continue their success at
brand new Pape Field in noncon
ference games against San Fran
cisco and Portland State on Friday
and Saturday.
HeismanTrophy winner dies at 71
By Robert Weller

DENVER — Doak Walker, the
1948 Heisman Trophy winner
who starred on two NFL champi
onship teams and was paralyzed
in a skiing accident earlier this
year, died Sunday at 71.
Walker died at Routt Hospital
in Steamboat Springs, the ski re
sort about 100 miles from Den
ver, where he had lived. The
cause of death was complications
from his paralysis, the hospital
said.
Walker was injured Janurary
30 when he hit a change of ter
rain, soared about 25 feet and
tumbled another 75 feet after
slamming to the ground. The in
jury made it difficult for him
even to talk, and at first he relied
on eye and face movements to
communicate with relatives and
friends.
He had regained some of his
ability to talk through rehabilita
tion, during which he had re
ceived thousands of letters and
faxes from well-wishers.
