game, but for some reason we
keep putting ourselves at disad
vantages after big wins.”
Oregon had 16 kills to UCLA’s
17 in the game, but committed 10
errors for a .143 attack percent
age.
Despite the Game 2 loss, and
falling behind 5-0 in Game 3, the
Ducks persevered and again
pulled ahead on two service aces
by Madeline Ernst. With Oregon
down 11-12 and Tonja Nikolic
serving, the Ducks scored four
straight points to clinch the win.
“We realized how good we
are,” Nikolic said. "We passed re
ally well, and we blocked well,
but it’s still a loss and that’s frus
trating.”
The Ducks had a two game to
one advantage going into Game 4,
but proved that consistency is
still a thorn in their side. UCLA
played its best game of the match
scoring eight straight points be
fore Oregon had the chance to
score. The Bruins had 16 kills
and just three errors for an over
all attack percentage of .394. Ore
gon recorded almost as many er
rors as kills and posted a .045
overall attack percentage.
“It really hurts us when we
have a big win in Game 1 and a
let down in Game 2, then a big
win in Game 3 and a letdown in
Game 4,” Nelson said. “We have
not had a level of consistency
that we need to be at.”
Game 5 was not pretty for ei
ther team as both teams had just
seven kills and UCLA had the
higher overall attack percentage,
a disappointing .074. Oregon
again found itself with an early
deficit, but managed to rally back
and lost by just three points.
Oregon had four players who
recorded kills in double digits,
but also had three players with
negative overall attack percent
ages. Ernst led the Ducks with 26
kills, followed by Alii White and
Monique Tobaggi, who recorded
17 and 12 kills, respectively.
Nikolic tallied 11 kills and only
two errors, leading all players
with an overall attack percentage
of .375.
UCLA was led by Pac-'IO play
er of the week Kristee Porter who
had 26 kills and 13 digs. The
Bruins had three players who
recorded 15 or more kills and
four players with 10 or more
digs.
“I think the fact that we’ve had
a tough schedule early and
played some tough teams and
seen the other side of it helped,”
UCLA head coach Andy Bana
chowski said. “Oregon played a
great match, but we just hung in
there and managed to squeak this
one out.”

Oregon holds on to finish eighth in Stanford Invitational
The Ducks play well in
the last round to make
up for poor stats earlier
By Scott Pesznecker

Nobody from the Oregon
women’s golf team ever said
playing in the Stanford Invitation
al would be easy.
The tournament invited 10 of
the top 25 teams in the nation, in
cluding each member of the Pacif
ic-10 Conference.
To make the tournament even
more critical to the No. 12 Ducks,
it was held at the Stanford Golf
Club — the site of the Pac-10
Championships this spring.
Before the invitational,
women’s head coach Renee
Baumgartner said the women
should finish easily inside the top
10.
She was almost wrong.
Oregon fought back in the final
round of competition to finish in
eighth place with a final team
score of 912. The Ducks’ third
round team score of 290 was sur
passed only by Arizona’s 287.
Although she did not lead the
team in scoring, Karen Bristow
was huge on the third dav of com
petition. She
led the Ducks’
comeback with
a three-under
par score of 70
on Sunday.
Bristow fin
ished tied for
Z4tn in individual scoring witn a
total of 227.
Jerilyn White led the Ducks in
scoring, finishing in a tie for 14th
place with a score of 224. She
played consistently throughout
the invitational by shooting 73
77-74.
However, Oregon did not.
Neither Pam Sowden, nor
Claire Hunter, nor Dawn Berry
shot lower than 80 on Saturday,
but both Sowden and Berry
played well on Sunday. Sowden
shot a 74 to finish tied for 41st,
while Berry shot a 72 to tie for
48th. Hunter finished tied for
73rd.
Arizona won the invitational
with a final team score of 287,
stealing the victory from Stan
ford, which led the pack through
the first two rounds. The Cardi
nal finished in second place with
a final score of 294.
Jenna Daniels of Arizona and
Elisha Au of Washington tied for
the individual title. Indiana’s Erin
Carney and Arizona’s Cristina Bae
tied for third.
Oregon was in 15th place after
the first two rounds. Dawn Berry,
who led the Ducks in scoring on
Friday, lost her 25th-place indi
vidual ranking by shooting an 86
on Saturday.
