with 16 kills.
“Arizona State is one of the top
defensive teams in the conference;
everything feeds off their defense,”
Oregon first-year head coach Carl
Ferreira said. “When you’re on the
road, you automatically have to
play with a high level of energy
and commitment.”
“If you’re not prepared, you’re
going to have a long night,” Ferreira
said.

And a long night it was for the
Ducks.
From the floor, Ferreira’s squad
hit a dismal .097 attack percentage.
Arizona State, on the other hand,
had an overall attack percentage of
.266.
The Ducks pulled to a quick 4-0
lead in game one before the Sun
Devils went on an 11-0 run to take
control. From there, Arizona State
never looked back.
Senior Halie Mazza paced the
, Ducks with 10 kills, nine digs and
* four blocks. Freshman Alisha
Stevens stepped off the bench for a

With their Thursday-night loss to Arizona State, the Ducks fell to 1-12 in the Pac-10 and
9-13 overall. Tonight, Oregon travels to No. 4 Arizona looking for a win.
career-high 10 kills, three blocks
and a team-high .350 attack per
centage.
Sophomore setter Sydney Chute
also provided some spark for Ore
gon with a .316 clip, eight kills and
28 assists.
The Ducks, in the midst of a
three-game losing streak, now trav
el to Tucson to take on one of the
hottest teams in the conference.
The Arizona Wildcats, ranked
fourth in the country, have an over
all record of 20-2 and are 12-1 and
tied for the Pac-10 lead.
The Wildcats swept the Ducks in
the first meeting of the season.
“I’ve said it before, but in this
conference you have to have a
short-term memory,” Ferreira said.
Soccer
continued from page 7A
healthy team. For the first time in
their Pacific-10 Conference season,
the Ducks will play their 11 best
players, top to bottom. Starting
goalkeeper Sarah Peters will return
from a bruised hand she suffered
against Washington State. Lindsey
Peterson, a starting defensive back,
will return to the lineup after miss
ing three games with a sprained an
kle.
The second factor is the Ducks’
finishing skills. After failing to
score against UCLA and Southern
California, Oregon rattled off four
goals in its next three games against
Oregon State, Washington State
and Washington. The best result
the Ducks could muster in those
games was a tie with the Beavers, as
the breaks didn’t go their way.
The final factor is that Oregon is
experienced. Steffen’s scheduling
— the Ducks have played seven
top-25 teams this season — may fi
nally pay off in the season’s final
games.
“We’re trying to get these kids ac
commodated to the pressure of
playing these teams match in and
match out,” said Steffen.
If Oregon is accustomed to the
pressure, they will need to use that
experience to upset a ranked team
for the first time this season.
The last time the Ducks beat a
top-25 team was their 2-1 upset of
No. 20 UCLA in Eugene last year.
That win, which could have been
the biggest in Oregon history, pro
pelled the Ducks to their best-ever
record last year.
This year, Oregon could end i
with its worst-ever record. In the
team’s inaugural season in 1996,
the Ducks went 5-11-2,1-3-1 in the
Pac-10. Since they started playing
Pac-10 games against the entire
conference in 1997, the Ducks have
won at least two conference games
each season.
“We’ve moved on,” said junior
Chalise Baysa, the team’s leading
scorer. “You can’t really dwell on
the past.”
Oregon’s competition may have
something to do with the decline in
the Ducks’ win column. The Pac-10
has emerged as one of the best con
ferences in the nation with five
teams in the top-25. The Atlantic
Coast Conference has five teams
currently in the top-25, while the
Big 12 claims two.
