It lost a few games, 11 to be exact, but that’s in the past. One of the best teams in the na tion, No. 2 Wash ington, is coming to town, but the Ducks are ready. “I think we can win against any one,” said freshman Ann Wester mark, who had one of the goals last Friday against the Beavers. “If we play like we’re capable ... for 90 minutes, we’re in good shape,” said Oregon head coach Bill Steffen about this weekend’s games. The Ducks (4-11-1,1-3-1 Pac-10) will host Washington State (10-6-0, 2-4-0) Friday and No. 2 Washington (15-1-0, 6-0-0) Sunday in Oregon’s final home games of the year. Senior send-off Sunday’s game will mark the fi nal home match for four Ducks: Midfielders Melissa Parker, Allyssa White and T.J. Johnson, and trans fer forward Mary Cascio. The three midfielders have been with Oregon since the team’s sec ond season, in 1997, and have all played key roles for the Ducks this year. White tallied the game-winning goal in a 3-2 victory against James Madison, Parker leads the midfield ers — along with junior Annie Mur phy — with four points on the sea son, and Johnson had been Oregon’s “12th man” off the bench until a rib injury sidelined her for most of the Pac-10 schedule. Cascio has been a welcome addition to the squad this year after three seasons at Portland State, and has played in all 16 games. War (not) on the Wazzu floor The Ducks have traditionally locked horns with Washington State, and this season should be no different. “We’re excited to play Washing ton State because it’s always a bat tle,” Steffen said. The two teams’ history started two seasons ago, when the Cougars barely pulled out a 1-0 victory in Eugene. The game was a defensive WJe’ve got decent depth, so while we missed Lindsey; / think Marie stepped up and did a good job for us. They each bring different things to the table. Bill Steffen Soccercoach n masterpiece: The Ducks held Wash ington State to just nine shots, and took only five shots themselves. Last year, it was a different story up in Pullman, Wash., where Ore gon notched a 2-1 overtime mira cle. Now-sophomore Julie McLel lan’s shot in overtime went past the Cougars’ goalkeeper, and was tipped in by a Washington State de fender. In contrast to 1998’s affair, the Ducks took 22 shots on goal, while the Cougars took nine. Can they get a medic, please? The Ducks just can’t seem to shake the injury bug. Sophomore Lindsey Peterson, one of Oregon’s most physical defenders despite her 5-foot-3 height, went down with a sprained left ankle against UCLA and could miss the rest of the season. Johnson took a hit Friday, and re injured a rib in her first game back from that injury. The senior has a 50-percent chance to return this weekend, according to Steffen. “We’ve got decent depth, so while we missed Lindsey, I think Marie stepped up and did a good job for us,” Steffen said about de fender Marie Selby stepping in for Peterson Friday. "They each bring different things to the table.”
