still get butterflies out on the
court, but I feel like I’m starting to
come around.”
Mowe led a second-half Oregon
charge that shut Wyoming down
on both ends of the court. Leading
32-17 at the half, the Ducks moved
in front by seven after guard Lisa
Bowyer lobbed a pass to Mowe,
who was covered by two Wyoming
defenders but was able to quickly
rifle a pass to guard Natasha
O’Brien as she cut to the basket.
Seconds later, Mowe took a pass
from O’Brien under the basket, and
extended Oregon’s lead to 36-17
with a lay-in.
The Ducks began the second
half with a 12-0 run, forcing five
Cowgirl turnovers and seven
missed shots in seven minutes to
extend their lead to 44-17.

ottense going in, said lorward
Angelina Wolvert, who led the
Ducks’ with 15 points and had
three steals and two blocked shots.
“We were ready for this team. We
ran our offense well, but I’m most
proud of the way our defense
played.”
With her performance against
Wyoming, and her team-high 13
points and three blocks against
BYU the day before, Wolvert was
named the tournament’s most
valuable player, marking the
fourth straight year a Duck was
won that honor.
Forward Jenny Lazzeri came off
the bench to lead Wyoming with
10 points and nine rebounds. For
her efforts, Lazzeri was named to
the all-tournament team along

Oregon’s Bowyer and forward Bri

Meharry came off the bench to
score 12 points against BYU and

Ducks get swept by Redbirds
By Allison Ross

The holiday break did not give
the Oregon volleyball team much
to be thankful for.
The Ducks ended their 1998
season with two losses in the an
nual Long Beach Thanksgiving
tournament, finishing the season
with an 8-23 overall record and a
3-15 Pacific-10 Conference record.
Oregon was swept by Illinois
State (22-8 overall) 15-4,15-10,15
8 in its final match of the season.
The Ducks never had control of
the match, recording just 34 total
kills and 22 errors for an overall at
tack percentage of. 121.
“We just didn’t play well to
day,” head coach Cathy Nelson
said in a released statement. “Illi
nois State is a good team, and they
put pressure on us to perform
well, but we were error prone. ”
Oregon was led bv senior Alii
VOLUYBAU
White, who
recorded eight
kills and fin
ished with a
.353 overall at
tack percent
age. Madeline
Ernst and Amv
Banducci each contributed seven
kills but combined for 12 Oregon
errors.
The Redbirds had two players
with 10 or more kills, and as a
team they out-killed (45-34), out
dug (42-27) and out-blocked (6-5)
the Ducks.
“This is not the way we wanted
to end the season or for our seniors
to go this way,” Nelson said.
Oregon fell to Oral Roberts in
four games on Friday, 16-14,9-15,
17-15, 15-8. The Ducks had a 14
10 lead in both Games 1 and 3 but
were unable to fend off a persis
tent Oral Robert’s squad.
Ernst led all attackers with 22
kills and finished with an impres
sive .300 attack percentage. The
Ducks had four players with 10 or
more kills, while freshman Tanja
Nikolic had a stellar defensive
performance, recording 10 blocks.
“We are very disappointed over
this loss,” Nelson said. "Oral
Roberts played well, putting up a
good defense. We had our
chances at times, but couldn’t
pull through when we needed
to.”
Oregon setter Julie Gerlach was
named an honorable mention
player on the Pac-lO’s all-fresh
man team after leading the Ducks
with 1,540 assists this season.
