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.

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

“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.”

that Friday’s game against Arizona is
a “hope to win” game, and Sunday’s
against Arizona is a “can win.”
Steffen said he is working on the
Ducks’ mental edge going into Pac
10 play, which he feels the team
has been lacking.
“We’re trying to be better on the
mental details,” Steffen said. “We
need a good physical effort and a
good mental effort as well.”
Steffen pointed to the Ducks’ re
cent inability to convert on legiti
mate scoring chances.
“We’re good at creating chances,
but then we seem to lose our focus,”
he said. “I think a lot of that deals
with the mental aspects of the
game.”
The Ducks have been outscored
29-5 in their last nine games, and 27
2 in their eight losses after outscoring
San Jose State and Idaho 9-4 in their
first two games. That nine-game
streak has included six shutouts.
“We expect every game to be
tough,” Steffen said about the Pac

to be the toughest game of the sea

He left out the words “toughest

that bill if the Ducks don’t start off
on the right foot.
