matches.
At times, however, the right arm
of Tobbagi has proved to be some
what inconsistent. Against Ari
zona State last Friday, Tobbagi had
her worst performance of the sea
son, posting a minus-.167 attack
percentage on just five kills and 10
errors. The next night, though, she
stepped up to tally 12 kills and a
.421 hit percentage.
Freshmen phenoms
Four of Oregon’s five freshmen
have received playing time this
season. Outside hitter Lindsay
Murphy has started all of the
Ducks’ Pac-10 matches and is
fourth on the team in digs. In high
school, the native of Spokane,
Wash., led her team to the state
championship and was named
the area’s female athlete of the
year.
Stevens got her first collegiate
start against No. 5 Arizona last Sat
urday. She recorded six kills and hit
.250 in that match. The previous
night, Stevens led the Ducks off the
bench with a phenomenal .615 at
tack percentage, nine kills and four
blocks.
“Alisha has come a long way
this year, and she’s just now get
ting the opportunity to play,” Fer
reira said. “She’s going to be a very
talented player.”
A Pac-10 thriller
Although it’s only halfway
through league play, the Pac-10
championship may be decided this
Friday in Arizona. No.l USC (13-0,
7-0) puts its undefeated mark on
the line against No. 5 Arizona (14
1,7-0). The Wildcats have not lost
since the first match of the season.
“I don't like USC," Arizona’s Alli
son Napier told The Arizona Daily
Wildcat. “To me, it seems they
haven't earned the respect that they
have been given. I think that some
teams like USC are put up there on
this pedestal where they don't be
long.”

Sophomore Sydney Chute records one of her seven kills against Arizona State last Friday. The Ducks hope to pick up their first Pac-10
win in Washington this weekend.

place at Willamette.
On the men’s side, freshman
Chris Clancy lowered his 8,000-me
ter personal best from 26:00 to

In the polls
After an unexpected drop in the
coaches poll two weeks ago, the
Oregon women rose two spots in
the latest edition of the rankings.
Following their dominating win at
the Willamette Open, the Ducks
find themselves at the No. 22 spot.
“The rankings are a fair indicator
of what’s what,” Heinonen said.
“But they don’t have a direct bear
ing on who gets picked for an at
large bid.”
The Duck men dropped two spots
to 18th after holding its top seven
runners out of Willamette.
Looking ahead
Despite competing in only three
meets this season, the Oregon cross
country teams will enter their home
stretch next weekend. After the pre
NCAA meet this weekend, the
Ducks will travel to the Pacific-10
Conference championships in Seat
tle, Wash., on Oct. 28, followed by
the NCAA Western Regionals in
Fresno, Calif., two weeks later. The
season ends with the NCAA Cham
pionships on Nov. 20.
