Wildcats pounce on Ducks
■ No. 4 Arizona delivers a
hard uppercut to the Ducks’
confidence and claims the
Pac-10 lead for itself
By Adam Jude
Oregon Daily Emerald
Arizona proved why it’s the top
team in the Pacific-10 Conference
Friday night in
Tucson.
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

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

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

they’re making me an old
man before my time. Ill

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

“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

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.

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. So

Invitational in September and fifth
at the Pepperdine Intercollegiate
last month.
The golfers will also be searching
for their third individual title of the
season this week. Sophomore Chris
Carnahan took the individual
crown at the Northwest, while
sophomore John Ellis won the title
at the Husky Invitational.
The Ducks play 36 holes of golf
today and 18 more tomorrow to
round out the tournament. The
tournament will be Oregon’s last of
the fall season. Play resumes in late
January. ■ •
