In a match that lasted just 55 min utes, the No. 4 Wildcats (21-2 overall, 14-2 Pac 10) manhandled the Ducks in a decisive 3-0 victory (15-7, 15-2, 15-2). Oregon is now 9-14 overall and Football win continued from page 7 not. Our kids are not to be denied and they found a way to get it done.” For Washington State (3-6, 1-5), the hard-luck continued. It was the Cougars’ third overtime loss this season, and even worse for the team, they lost their starting quar terback in the process. Jason Gess er broke the tibia in his left leg four minutes into the second quarter when he was sacked by Saul Patu. It could have spelled disaster for Washington State, but instead, Kegel came in and completed 10 of-20 passes for 107 yards. “Kegel did a great job,” Bellotti said. “I talked to him after the game and congratulated him. He didn’t play like a back-up quarterback.” The redshirt freshman quarter back scored on a one-yard run at the 12:25 mark of the fourth quarter to give Washington State the 24-16 lead. Oregon failed on its next drive, but a 61-yard punt by Kurtis Doerr pinned the Cougars on their own five-yard line. The Duck defense forced a three-and-out, and Oregon took over on the WSU 40-yard line with under 10 minutes to play. After a two-yard Allan Amund son run, Joey Harrington connected Football continued from page 7 kicker and Oregon head coach Mike Bellotti worked on changing Frankel’s approach and closing his stance. “I’m so grateful that coach Bel lotti didn’t give up on me,” Frankel said. “He kept working with me, and it means the world to me.” And whatever they did, it worked. Before the game-winner, Frankel hit a 46-yard field goal to put the Ducks ahead 16-10 in the 1-13 in conference play. “We knew this was going to be a difficult match,” head coach Carl Ferreira said. “They are a final four team, but you always have a chance to win every match.” The Wildcats out-blocked (12-3) and out-killed (27-17) the Ducks, and Oregon showed off its lowest team attack percentage of the year. Overall, Oregon hit minus-.162, while the Wildcats finished with a .339 percentage. Junior hitter Monique Tobbagi was the only Oregon player to have a positive attack percentage; she finished the match with seven kills and a .263 clip. Senior Marisa DaLee, who leads the country in overall attack per centage, paced the Wildcats with with receiver Marshaun Tucker for a 38-yard touchdown, and then to Keenan Howry for a two-point con version to tie it up at 24 with 9:08 remaining. “He was not really sharp and re ally accurate until when it counted in the fourth quarter,” Bellotti said { C I just told them that they’re making me an old man before my time. Ill take it anyway we can get it I don’t care if it’s one point in overtime or not. Our kids are not to be denied and they found a way to get it done. Mike Bellotti Oregon head coach of his quarterback, who was 18-for 39 for 212 yards. Harrington was again pleased with the win, but stressed that im provement must be made. “Rashad [Bauman] and I talked after the game and we’re going to bring the guys together, and we have a lot to talk about,” Harrington said. “We have to prove that we are second quarter. “Those were very big, pressure packed kicks,” Bellotti said. “He hit them right down the heart and I’m very proud of him.” No matter the situation, Frankel said he’s always had the confi dence in himself. “I’ve never got down on myself and I’m not going to get full of my self now,” Frankel said. “I went up to that kick the same way I’ve gone up to all my kicks this season. I knew that the team needed it, more than at any other time this season. We needed the points.” Following Frankel’s go-ahead kick in overtime, Washington State kicker Anousith Wilaikul had a chance to send the game into a sec Sports briefs Golf Update The Oregon men’s golf team swings into action for the last time of its fall season today in Califor nia. The Ducks will compete against a 15-team field in the Prestige at Palm Desert golf tournament today and Tuesday. The field includes only one ranked team, No. 7 North western. Oregon will try for its fourth straight top-five finish at the Pres tige. The Ducks finished fifth at the Northwest Classic to open the sea eight kills, no errors and a hitting percentage of .875. In game one, Oregon jumped to a quick lead, but were flushed by a 12-0 run by the home squad at McKale Center, and eventually lost the opening game 15-7. From there, the Wildcats didn’t even blink. They opened game two by scoring 10 straight points (en route to a 15-2 win), and led 6-0 in game three, which they also won 15-2. Oregon was also swept by Ari zona State last Thursday in the first match of the road trip. After a win over Oregon State on Saturday, the Wildcats took sole possession of first place in the Pac 10. the best team. We need to play with some urgency.” It seemed Oregon had that ur gency on its first play from scrim mage, a 48-yard pass to Tucker. Maurice Morris — who left the game with bruised ribs — ran it in from nine yards out to give Oregon the 7-0 lead. The Cougars an swered with an Adam Hawkins one-yard touchdown run to tie it and kicked a field goal for the lead. The Ducks recaptured the lead when cornerback Bauman ran back a 42-yard interception for a score, and Frankel knocked through his then-career-high 46 yard field goal. Washington State held the slim 17-16 halftime lead after Minnich ran it in from two yards out with 1:47 left in the sec ond. After the game, Oregon athletic director Bill Moos was just as re lieved as the rest of the Ducks to escape the Palouse with a win. “Now we get to go home and hopefully keep that home-winning streak alive, and then you know what’s after that,” said Moos, refer ring to the Civil War Nov. 18. What is that? “We don’t talk about that yet,” Moos replied, “but it’s coming up.” That game could be somewhat trivial, though, if both Oregon and Arizona win next week. ond overtime period. “I really thought he was going to drill it. It was his destiny,” Frankel said of the Cougar kicker, a former Oregon walk-on. But the destiny was not to be for the crimson and gray. The destiny came in the hand of Jed Boice, the Oregon defensive tackle who blocked the kick and won the game for the Ducks. “I don’t know how much pene tration I got, but I know I got a piece of it,” Boice said. “I just pushed through as hard as I could, and I don’t jump very high any way. I knew it wasn’t going 40 yards.” It didn't but Frankel's did.
