Pac-10 continued from page 7 line, led by Andre Carter, has the ability to rattle Goodman and make the game interesting. Stanford (2-2,1-1) at Notre Dame (2-2) Stanford gets the opportunity to rebound from last week’s blowout loss to Arizona, step up on the national stage and prove it’s still for real. The Cardinal will play in front of a Notre Dame Stadium crowd of 80,000 plus people, as well as an NBC television audience. Besides the crowd and the viewing audience, Stanford’s back-up freshman quarterback Chris Lewis may find it a bit too daunting to play with Touch down )esus looking on. Boise State (3-1) at Washington State (2-2,1-1) In the “Who cares?” game of the week, the Cougars look to keep the momentum going from last week’s 21-17 victory over California. Boise State and Washington State also played against each other in 1997 and ‘98, with the Cougars winning both of those games with a com bined score of 91-21. However, Cougar head coach Mike Price is cautious. “They are real good,” Price said. “They are probably better than Cal.” Not sure if he meant that as a compliment. Volleyball continued from page 7 it gets for the Ducks. On Saturday, No. 7 Arizona (12-1, 5-0) — the nation’s second-best hit ting team with a .358 percentage — will enter Mac Court hoping fate is on its side for the 14th consecutive match. The Ducks are well aware of the challenge that lies ahead if they wish to win in the Pac-10 for the first time since Nov. 5,1999. “We know we have to be more physical and compete hard,” senior Amy Banducci said. “We can’t wait for them to lose. We had those three five-game matches and a couple points here or there could’ve changed the outcome. We have to finish them off if we get ahead. ” Oregon will also have to contend with Arizona’s smashing tandem of Marisa DaLee and Allison Napier. DaLee’s .493 attack percentage leads the nation. En route to being named the Pac-10 player of the week, Napier combined for 37 kills and posted a .397 hitting percentage in the Wild cats’ victories over Stanford and Cali fornia last weekend. “Arizona State is always an over achieving, scrappy team and Ari zona is a big, physical strong team,” first-year head coach Carl Ferreira said. “We’d like to beat these teams at home and then fight like crazy on the road.” Ferreira said he wants to establish a true home-court advantage at Mac Court, with more fan support from the students and the community. “Our first goal as a team is to win, but we also want to put out an enter taining product,” he said. “We want people to come out and watch us play and help us win. We want to cre ate an electric atmosphere at home.” Perhaps Oregon’s fate will be predicated in the stands. On playing the final half of her collegiate career and trying to win the first Pac-10 game of the season, Banducci said she just wants to compete hard and reach some of the team’s goals. “We just want to accomplish everything we can,” the 6-foot-l outside hitter said. “There’s no time to make up. We just have to give it all we can and play hard. It is kind of sad because there’s not much time left, but it is a big challenge and we’re going to enjoy it.” Soccer continued from page 7 “A lot of what they do flows through [Tullock],” Steffen said. “We will, first and foremost, try to contain her.” But one Arizona State team mem ber has even more points than Tul lock. Freshman Patrice Feulner has 26 points on the season, which makes her the 13th-highest point scorer in the country. Meanwhile, Arizona comes into Sunday’s match against Oregon with almost the same record as the Ducks. The Wildcats have lost heartbreaking overtime matches against Pittsburgh, Utah and Loyola Marymount. Arizona is 3-6-1 on the season, with two of their three wins coming in overtime. ‘'We need to win the games we can,” junior Chalise Baysa said. “And hope to take a few from the bigger teams.” On the surface, it would appear I-T RETIREMENT INSURANCE MUTUAL FUNDS T R U ST 5 E R VI C E 5 T U I TI 0 N FI N A N CI N G While TIAA-CREF invests for the long term, it’s nice to see performance like this.

That nine-game streak has included six shutouts. “We expect every game to be tough,” Steffen said about the Pac We have to prepare for each game as if it’s going to be the toughest game of the season.
