Ducks come home from LA. empty handed ■ I he volleyball team tails to No. 4 USC and No. 5 UCLA and is still searching for its first Pac-10 win By Adam Jude Oregon Daily Emerald While Eugene celebrated the foot ball team’s victory over rival Wash ington this weekend, more than 850 miles away in Los Angeles, the Ore gon volleyball team was not in such a joyous mood. The Ducks (7-6 overall, 0-5 Pacif ic-10) started the weekend with a 15-6,15-6,15-1 loss to No. 5 UCLA (9-4, 4-1), then fell on Saturday to No. 4 USC 15-5,15-3,15-5.“The bot tom line is that when you’re on the road you need to minimize runs by the home team and you need to compete with more energy to give yourself a chance to win,” Ferreira said. “And in this conference you need to be ready to play back-to back nights.” USC, the nation’s best team ac cording to Volleyball Magazine, ex tended its winning streak to 33 games this weekend. The Trojans (11-0,6-0) stymied the Ducks .hold ing them to a .193 attack percentage. Three Trojans hit above a .450 clip. “We played really tough and played with a lot more effort than we did last night against UCLA,” Ban ducci said. “We controlled the intan gibles — had good communication, great passing and were very emotion al — but USC is a No. 1 team and probably the best we'll see all year.” On Friday night, Oregon fell be hind quickly to the Bruins, trailing 11-0 in the first and 6-0 in the second game. The Ducks were also held to a .041 attack percentage against the Bruins and failed to win at least one game for the first time since begin ning Pac-10 play this season. UCLA tallied 50 kills, compared to the Ducks’ 29, and recorded more blocks (11-4) than the visiting team. Junior outside hitter Monique Tob bagi had seven kills and six digs for the Ducks, while senior Amy Ban ducci added six kills and seven digs. “I’m very disappointed and sur prised at how we played,” head coach Carl Ferreira said of Friday’s performance against the Bruins. “We were out-of-sync with our game plan and we didn’t play with chemistry.” Heading into Los Angeles, the Ducks were the conference’s top serving team, averaging 2.09 aces per game.
