Her goal came in Oregon’s first game against San Jose State. Soccer continued from page 7 A Ian’s scores have been few and far between. She had two more goals in the 1999 campaign after Oregon State, and started off 2000 with a goal against San Jose State. But the well ran dry for McLellan after that, and she hasn’t scored in 14 games. Nobody is more aware of her struggles than McLellan herself. “I need to score more,” she said. “I basically haven’t done my job. I’ve played well on the field, but I’m a forward and I’m supposed to score.” McLellan is one of a trio of play ers that has had to fill gaps in the Oregon offense in recent games, as forwards Crystal David and Beth Bowler have sat out because of in juries. “We’re playing Chalise [Baysa] up front with us and Ann [Wester mark] and I think that has helped a lot,” McLellan said. “We’re playing well together, the three of us.” Forward has been a tough posi tion to play for the Ducks this year. Most of the Ducks’ goals have come from the midfield and Baysa’s gold en feet, and the two highest-scoring forwards — Bowler and David — have yet to play in a Pac-10 game because of their injuries. t ( Her speed is a really strong asset, along with her quickness to the ball. Nobody really expects it, so it's kind of a secret weapon. Beth Bowler Oregon forward “We have a lot to work on,” Bowler said. “We’re not getting the job done in the games.” But Bowler has kind words to say about the Ducks’ British Columbian forward. “Her speed is a really strong as set, along with her quickness to the ball,” Bowler said. “Nobody re ally expects it, so it’s kind of a se cret weapon.” The secret weapon is surprising ly insightful, despite her scoring drought and her youth. She is optimistic about her team, but at the same time she sees the reality of its 4-11-0 record. She knows her role in the Oregon of fense and happily accepts it, but is hard on herself for not expanding that role. Oh, and she’s got a sense of hu mor, too. Ask her about the rest of the Ducks’ Pac-10 games, which include powerhouses Washington, Stanford and California. You, with your hand in the air. “We’re going to win the rest of our games,” McLellan says. “They’re pushovers... just kid ding!” There are a lot of hands still raised. Is yours?
