recording a career high in kills
(27) against California and led all
attackers with 17 kills against
Stanford.
On Sunday, the Bruins come to
McArthur Court with a four-game
win streak, including a win over
No. 4 Santa Barbara on Oct. 14.
Freshman outside hitter Kristee
Porter is the Pac-lO’s player of the
week after recording 38 kills and
24 digs against the high-powered
Santa Barbara team.
Earlier this season, the Bruins
defeated the Ducks at Pauley
Pavillion, but Oregon’s 41 errors
contributed to that loss.
“We wanted to have both of the
Los Angeles matches back,” Nel
son said. “We wanted the oppor
tunity to show that we could per
form better. We were able to take
one game from UCLA and we feel
we have had a chance to improve
since then.”
Although Oregon will be play
ing on its home court, it’s hardly
an advantage. UCLA leads the se
ries 28-1 and has an 11-1 record at
Mac Court. And the Bruins return
with two veterans that were pre
viously injured. Seniors Chaska
Potter and Mandi Lawson have
been major forces in UCLA’s re
cent win streak.
Oregon has been able to avoid
injuries thus far and enters the
match healthy. It will look to up
set the Bruins and grab their sec
ond conference win Sunday.
“Our blocking has been our
biggest problem,” Nelson said.
“We really need to control our
side of the net.”
Yankees capture World Series crown
By Ben Walker
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — How appropri
ate— a sweep.
What else could it be for a New
York Yankees team that is surely
one of the greatest in baseball his
tory.
Andy Pettitte and the Yankees
put the finishing touch on their
most dominant season by beating
the San Diego Padres 3-0 Wednes
day night for a record 24th World
Series championship.
It was New York’s second title
in three years and its first sweep
since 1950. The Game 4 victory
gave the Yankees 125 wins — a
total that ranks
right up there
with all the other
big numbers put
up in baseball this
year. Their 114
regular-season
victories were the most ever for a
champion.
And it was a tribute to a team
vastly different from all those oth
er pinstriped winners. Without a
Ruth, DiMaggio or Mantle among
them — no certain Hall of Famers
and no one even elected to start in
the All-Star game this season —
these Yankees posted a .714 win
ning percentage, the best in the
majors since their Murderers’
Row club of 1927.
Bemie Williams, perhaps play
ing his last game for New York,
broke a scoreless tie with an RBI
chopper in the sixth. In the seventh,
Series MVP Scott Brosius singled
home a run and surprising rookie
Ricky Ledee hit a sacrifice fly.
