put a scare on their nationally
ranked Pac-10 opponents. Three
different players scored last
weekend as Washington tied
with No.7 UCLA and lost a 2-1
heartbreaker to Southern Califor
nia.
Oregon has also been getting
big minutes from another Wash
ington native, forward Allyssa
White. The junior from Bain
bridge Island has been a spark
plug off the bench, with three
points.
“She’s a real good athlete,”
fourth-year head coach Bill Stef
fen said. “Her quickness pres
sures other team^into mistakes,
and they turn the ball over,
which is a good thing.”
To realistically be in a posi
tion to qualify as a bubble team
for the NCAA tournament, Ore
gon needs to win the rest of its
games, including contests with
USC and UCLA next weekend.
Oregon goalkeeper Amanda
Fox said the Ducks should worry
less about scoring large quantities
of goals and concentrate more on

people to score.

getting wins this weekend.
“One of the best things about
soccer is that it’s a 90-minute
game,” said Fox, who has three
shutouts this season, including
the Ducks 4-0 drubbing of Ore
gon State last week.
“Making the tournament has
nothing to do with goals but
rather with wins.”

Tyson’s opponent
finally get his shot
By Ed Schuyler Jr.
The Associa ted Press
LAS VEGAS — Orlin Norris fi
nally is getting a fight he wanted
a decade ago.
“I felt like I could beat him 10
years ago,” said Norris, who will
fight Mike Tyson on Saturday
night. “Nothing has changed.”
Norris’ attitude might remain
the same, but a lot has changed in
10 years for the two fighters, espe
cially for Tyson.
In 1989, Tyson was the fear
some undisputed heavyweight
champion. Now he is 33 and mak
ing yet another comeback. He is a
fighter who maintains the power
of his glory years, but whose fast
hands and quick feet have been
slowed by time and inactivity.
Tyson, however, remains an at
traction, a man held in the harsh
glare of a celebrity built on his
boxing achievement and his out
of-ring problems.
“People love Mike Tyson,” said
Dan Goossen, president of pro
moter America Presents. “They
love to see him win. They love to
see him Jose.”
‘‘He has done so much for the
game, and I think he deserves a lot
of the attention he gets,” said the
34-year-old Norris.
Tyson was a 12-1 favorite to
win the 10-round match in the
MGM Grand Garden.
A decade ago the odds against
Norris would have been similar to
the 42-1 odds that favored Tyson
against James “Buster” Douglas
on Feb. 11,1990.
Douglas, who knocked out
Tyson in the 10th round in per
haps boxing’s greatest upset, was
the first choice for this bout.
Tyson is fighting for the first time
since he knocked out Francois
Botha on Jan. 16 and served 3 1-2
months in a Maryland jail for as
saulting two motorists after a mi
nor accident.
Douglas, however, was rejected
because of his poor physical con
dition. The attraction of Douglas
to the people who guide and sell
Tyson’s career was his chin,
which had grown increasingly
fragile.

“Timing wise, it’s still not
there yet,” Tobbagi said. “It’s go
ing to take a little bit of time to
get back, because being off two
weeks, it’s a long time.”
Besides the emotional impact
of Tobbagi’s return, her role
should be crucial in both match
es. The outside hitter led Oregon
with 13 kills and 11 digs against
Washington State on Sept. 23
and had a career-high 20 kills
versus Washington the next day.
The Cougars are fresh off of a
hard fought five-game Civil War
comeback over Washington last
Saturday, led by LaToya Harris’
career-high 22 kills, 25 digs and
7 blocks.
Five players scored in double
digits against the Huskies as
Washington State setter Melissa
Wright had 80 assists, five short
of the school record.
The Ducks’ loss to Washington
State could be misleading. Ore
gon struggled at the start of
matches early this season, which
showed in the first game’s score
of 15-4. Games two and three
were much closer, as the Cougars
edged the Ducks 15-12 and 15-10.
While Washington State has
some momentum, Washington
does not. The Huskies have lost
their last five matches and are
tied for ninth place in the Pac-10,
Against the Huskies, Oregon
won game one before dropping
the next three to lose the match.
The Ducks came close to win
ning game two of that match, but
crumbled in the final minutes,
losing 15-11.
Washington’s Kristina Laffling
had a big game against the
Cougars, finishing with 25 kills,
23 digs and nine blocks. Oregon
did a good job of containing Laf
fling earlier this season, holding
her to a .130 attack percentage
with 15 kills and nine errors.
Lisa Underhill could pose a
major problem. She burned Ore
gon for 22 kills while committing
just five errors.
