UO tumbles to 0-11 in Pac-10
■ The Ducks suffer sweeps
at both Washington State
and Washington amid more
dismal displays
By Scott Pesznecker
Oregon Daily Emerald
Time is running out for the
Oregon women’s volleyball team.
Hoping to catch their first Pa
cific-10 Conference win of the
season during the weekend, the
Ducks were instead swept twice
on the road. They lost to Wash
ington State in Pullman, Wash.,
Friday night (15-4, 15-0, 15-7).
On Saturday, the Ducks lost in
Seattle to Washington (15-8,15-8
15-8).
Not even the return of outside
hitter Monique Tobbagi could
spur the Ducks (6-14 overall, 0
11 Pac-10) to victory. Tobbagi’s
strong performance against the
Washington schools earlier this
season wasn’t duplicated. She
had an attack percentage of .091
against the Cougars and .132
against the Huskies.
However, Tobbagi did resume
her role of leading the Oregon of
fense. The sophomore had 10
kills against Washington State
and 15 against Washington.
“She hasn’t jumped much in
the past month, but Washington
was one of her best matches in
quite awhile,” Oregon head
coach Cathy Nelson said. “She
was error-prone, but considering
she’s only played two matches
after being off for a long time, I’m
pleased with
n how she per
formed.”
What Nelson
wasn’t pleased
with was the
Ducks’ loss to
the Cougars.
While Oregon had a match attack
percentage of .118, Washington
State hit for .410. The defensive
end was equally lopsided — the
Cougars won the edge in blocks,
10.5-2 , and digs, 46-25.
Game 2 was the most crushing
defeat for Oregon. The 15-0 loss
marked the second straight week
end that the Ducks were shut out
in a game, the first coming at the
hands of Southern California last
Saturday.
“I don’t think we played well
at all,” Nelson said. “We did all
the things we try so hard to get
out of in practice.
“There’s no way in the world
we should lose to anybody 15-0.”
LaToya Harris led Washington
State with 12 kills on 21 at
tempts, plus a service ace. Joy
Sperry added nine kills to the
Cougars’ total of 53.
After the poor showing in Pull
man, Oregon held a team meet
ing Saturday before playing the
Huskies. Among the biggest top
ics of conversation was the need
for a better on-court attitude.
“We just need to relax, play
hard and see who cares,” Nelson
said. “I think [the team meeting]
showed through against Wash
ington.”
And it did. Instead of being
blown out, Oregon was able to
keep the score close. Even
though the Ducks couldn’t find a
way to win any games, Nelson
said the Ducks’ attitude was far
improved from the night before.
“It was a big turnaround for us
against Washington State,” Nel
son said. “I thought we played
much better, and the attitude was
very different from the way it has
been lately. The way we’ve been
supporting each other lately has
been a problem, so I see this as a
step in the right direction.”
Lisa Underhill and Allison
Richardson were the Huskies’
key players. Underhill had 13
kills and hit .500, while Richard
son had 12 kills with a .524 at
tack percentage. Kristina Laffling
also scored in double figures
with 10 kills.
Oregon returns home to play
California on Thursday and Stan
ford on Friday.
Sports brief
Women’s golf struggles at Stanford Invitational
Three weeks after winning the Nittany Lion Invi
tational, the Oregon women’s golf team finished a
disappointing tie for 16th out of 18 teams at the Stan
ford Women’s Intercollegiate.
The Ducks concluded the three-day event with an
overall score of 931,67 shots over par.
They got off to an uncharacteristically poor start
Friday, shooting 308, 14 strokes behind the day-1
leader.
Oregon shot 308 again on Saturday and 315 Sun
day.
The Ducks’ top individual finisher was Jerilyn
White, who finished tied for 20th place with a total
score of 224,8 over par. The next highest Oregon fin
isher was Pam Snowden, who wound up 35th with a
score of 228.
Tulsa won the team tournament, largely due to the
winning individual performance by Stacey Prammana
sudh, who finished with a 6-under-par score of 210.
