Soccer takes on best
after a sub-par show
■The Ducks prepare to wrap
up their home season against
the University of Washington,
which is No. 2 in the nation
By Peter Hockaday
Oregon Daily Emerald
The Oregon soccer team was dis
appointed after a 2-2 tie with Ore
gon State, but it’s over that.
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.

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.”
