of national player of the year.
“We’re looking to win,” said jun
ior outside hitter Monique Tobbagi,
who leads the young Duck squad in
kills with 3.85 per game. “We know
that if we execute our offense, we’re
headed in the right direction and
we can take these teams.”
We need to improve
our point scoring
efficiency. Against these
two top teams, you don't
get your chances back. You
have to take care of the
possessions you get. You
have to have a very high
level of efficiency; if not,
they'll capitalize... Every
one is beatable. If we run
our system, we can beat
anybody. We just want to
compete as hard as we can
and leave it all on the
court.
Carl Ferreira
Head volleyball coach
On a positive note, the Ducks
lead the league in service aces with
2.18 per game. Sophomore setter
Sydney Chute is second in the Pac
10 with 25 aces this season.
“Regardless of the outcome, in
the conference you have to learn
how to handle the results maturely
in order to play back-to-back,” Fer
reira said. “If you win, you have to
do it again tomorrow. If you lose,
your opponent is hoping you have
a pity party for yourself so you’re
not good tomorrow. So the second
game is key.”
And that second game will not
get any easier for Oregon.
The undefeated USC Trojans,
ranked No. 1 according to Volley
ball Magazine, has yet to even drop
a game this season, sweeping all of
its opponents.
“We need to improve our point
scoring efficiency,” Ferreira said.
“Against these two top teams, you
don’t get your chances back. You
have to take care of the possessions
you get. You have to have a very
high level of efficiency; if not,
they’ll capitalize.”
The Pac-lO’s most ferocious
blocking team is led by Trojan jun
ior Jennifer Pahl, who posted a .750
attack percentage against Stanford
on Sept. 22 and was named the
Pac-10 player of the week.
“Everyone is beatable,” Chute
said. “If we run our system, we can
beat anybody. We just want to com
pete as hard as we can and leave it
all on the court.”
Despite enormous odds, Ferreira
said his team does a good job of not
anticipating certain outcomes.
“We’re not going to predetermine
winning and losing based on what’s
on your jersey or what you’re
ranked nationally,” said the first
year Oregon coach. “We’re going to
play and focus on what we can con
trol, not what we can’t control.”
In three Pac-10 matches this sea
son, the Ducks have taken each of
their opponents to the deciding
fifth game. Against Stanford, then
the 11th ranked team, Oregon near
ly pulled out an upset.
“It’s exciting,” Ferreira said.
“Anything can happen. This is a
very mature team that has compet
ed consistently every single night.”
Last Sunday, the Ducks ended
their three game slide by sweeping
the Portland Pilots for their first
home win of the season.
Following this weekend’s trip to
Los Angeles, Oregon will come
home to face Arizona State on Oct.
6 and Arizona the following night.

history came on Papd Field — last
year’s almost scary 2-1 decision
over UCLA on Halloween.
The Ducks will use a new-found
confidence to take on Florida State,
with coach Steffen hoping that con
fidence will blend with the home
field advantage and the Ducks’ ex
perience to create the perfect
victory mix.
"There were a lot of reasons for
us to quit,,” Steffen said about his
team’s come-from-behind victory
over James Madison last Sunday.
“The fact that we stayed with it and
we maintained and actually raised
our level of play after giving up the
goals, I think that shows we’re bat
tle tested.”
On the field, junior Starr Johnson
anchors a tough defense, while
sophomore Sarah Peters will start
at goalkeeper. Forward Crystal
David, the junior transfer from the
University of San Francisco, joins
junior midfielder Chalise Baysa as
the Ducks’ main offensive threats.
Allyssa White, who scored the
game-winner against James Madi
son, and Beth Bowler, who has tak
en the most shots for Oregon this
year, provide depth up front.
Johnson thinks the defense could
be the most important part of the
Duck attack.
“The less we’re on defense, the
less stress we have,” the Hawaii-na
tive said. “When the offense has the
ball and controls the ball, it means
the less we have to do to keep the
ball out of our defensive third.”
That theory helped the Ducks
win against James Madison. The
Ducks took more shots, more cor
ner kicks and less fouls than James
Madison after the Dukes’ first two
goals. Oregon also finished its scor
ing chances, which Steffen has
pointed to as a problem area for the
Ducks.
“When you haven’t scored in
awhile you start to feel snakebit,
like you just can’t score,” Steffen
said. “The first score is always the
hardest. Once we got that one I felt
better, and then we converted on
( ( There were a lot of rea
sons for us to quit The fact
that we stayed with it and
we maintained and actu
ally raised our level of
play... I think that shows
we're battle-tested.

two more chances after that.”
Oregon went five games without
scoring before Annie Murphy’s goal
in a 3-1 loss to Xavier on Sept. 22.
The Ducks took 40 shots in that
five-game span. The floodgates
opened against James Madison,
though, as the Ducks received goals
from leading scorers Baysa and
David before White’s rebound shot
with just over two minutes left in
the game. In less than 70 minutes,
Oregon scored more goals than it
had in its previous seven games.
“We broke the ice,” Steffen said.
The Ducks can only hope the ice
doesn’t freeze back ip Sunday’s
game against Florida State.
