“Everyone’s helped me to get
rid of that a little bit.”
The Civil War was a coming out
party for McLellan. She scored
Oregon’s first goal, which McLel
lan said helped her game a lot
mentally.
“I was shocked, because they
haven’t been going in, and I didn’t
really believe it,” McLellan said.
“When I don’t score for a while, I
get in a hole, but once I get one in, I
get going.- The Civil War was a real
relief.”
Last weekend, things looked
bleak for the Ducks. Playing at
Washington State, Oregon forced
the game into overtime. Oregon
had never beaten the Cougars, nor
had they ever won an overtime
game in Pac-10 play.
Fighting off sickness and fa
tigue, McLellan scored the game
winning goal less than two min
utes into the overtime period. She
concedes, however, that she had a
little help in scoring.
“I had a chest cold, and I was
tired,” McLellan said. “The ball
came high^nd bounced, and I did
n’t even intend on scoring. I was

going to cross and one of them
kicked it, and it deflected into the
net.”
McLellan credits her success to
the influence of her teammates, es
pecially team captains Amanda
Fox and Stacey Hebert.
“I have never seen such leader
ship; they are the best captains,”
McLellan said. “They have
pushed me every game, and
they’ve given me confidence.”
Hebert has seen McLellan im
prove drastically.
“She has definitely learned a
lot,” Hebert said. “At the begin
ning, she struggled with our play
ing style, but now she’s an offen
sive threat.”
Oregon defender Carrie
McLanahan has noticed McLel
lan’s speed and hard work.
“She runs until she can’t run
anymore, and she poses a threat to
the other team,’’McLanahan said.
“She has made an impact as a
freshman starter.”
A native of Vernon, B.C.,
McLellan opted to leave Canada to
pursue a college career in the Unit
ed States, and she admits that
"sports up there aren’t as big as
they are here.”
She was recruited by 23 schools
as a senior in high school, and her
final decision came down to Ore
gon and Hawaii.
“Picking between Hawaii and
here wasn’t that tough,” McLellan
said. “Hawaii is my favorite place
on Earth, but it doesn’t offer as
much scholastically and school
wise as Oregon does.”
McLellan said she was turned
off by the dry atmosphere — and
accents — at the Southern schools
she visited.
“I like the rain,” McLellan said.
“I liked the coaches here, and
they’ve offered me a lot. Plus, the
facilities are amazing and the Pac
10 is a great conference.”
When asked about her goals for
her next three years, McLellan un
selfishly talks about team goals
she yearns for rather than individ
ual honors.
“I want the team to get to the
[NCAA] tournament within four
years, and hopefully next year,
even with a young team,” McLel
lan said. “I want to do as much as I
can for the program.”

NTSB says valve changed in
Stewart’s plane before crash
MINA, S.D. — A valve in the
cabin-pressurization system was
replaced two days before golfer
Payne Stewart’s Learjet slammed
into a South Dakota pasture, but
the system worked fine during a
short flight after the replacement,
the chief government investigator
said Wednesday.
Government officials have said
one possible explanation for the
crash is that the jet lost cabin
pressure soon after taking off
from Florida, causing everyone
aboard to die or lose conscious
ness.
For four hours on Monday, the
jet flew 1,400 miles across the
country, apparently on autopilot,
before running out of fuel and
spiraling nose-first into a soggy
field.
Bob Benzon of the National
Transportation Safety Board said
investigators learned that a de
vice called the left-hand modula
tor valve, which takes heated air
from the engine and runs it
through the air-conditioning sys
tem to pressurize the cabin, was
changed on the plane Saturday.
If the left-hand valve failed, the
one on the right engine should
have fed sufficient air into the
cabin, he said.
Benzon said the valve was re
placed Saturday to balance en
gine thrust on the plane — not be
cause of any prior problem with
cabin pressure.
After the valve was replaced,
the plane pressure-regulation sys
tem worked fine during a short
flight on Saturday, he said.
Benzon said he does not know
whether such a valve has ever
been a factor in a crash. t
“The fact it was changed does
n’t really mean anything right
now, but it’s something we’re
looking into,” he said, speaking at
the crash site.

Club Sports brief
Devils ice Ducks, Bruins next
After sweeping the California
Bears in two games the previous
weekend, the Oregon Club Sports
hockey team went to Tempe,’
Ariz., to play the Arizona State
Ice Devils last Friday. The Ducks,
a Division-II club team, knew that
the Division-I Ice Devils would be
quite a challenge for them.
The Ducks were defeated in the
first game 11-1. Arizona State
completed the sweep by defeating
them 12-4 on Saturday. But team
captain Tyler Shaffar said the fi
nal game was much closer than
the score indicated.
“We were tied at 3-3 after the
first period,” Shaffar said, “but a
lot of stupid penalties eventually
lost the game for us.”
With those two losses behind
them, the Ducks welcome the 2-1
Bruins on Friday. The Bruins.
were 22-3 last season and defeat
ed Southern California in the fi
nals of the Pacific-8 Conference
tournament to claim the confer
ence crown. Always considered a
tough team, the Bruins have a
much different face this season.
After their seniors graduated, the
Bruins were left with a young, but
talented corps of players.
Although the Bruins have
meant trouble for the Ducks in the
past, sophomore forward Brett
Ledder doesn’t seem to be overly
worried. Ledder paces the Ducks
in goals scored with five, includ
ing two against Arizona State last
weekend.
“UCLA is a pretty respectable
team; it should be pretty enter
taining,” Ledder said, “but I
think we’ll beat 'em,”
The 2-2 Ducks take on 2-1
UCLA at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Lane
County Ice Arena.
