HOMEY HILL FARMS,
! UO drops final matches of the year
■The Ducks fall twice in New
Mexico to end the season at
10-19 — the best since 1996
By Adam Jude
Oregon Daily Emerald
Consecutive losses in Las Cruces,
N.M., finished off an improving, yet
still disappointing season for the
Oregon volleyball squad.
The expectations of a break
through year under first-year head
coach Carl Ferreira officially came
to an end during Thanksgiving
weekend. The Ducks’ 10-19 record,
though, is the school’s best since
the 1996 team was 11-20.
Despite crushing New Mexico
State and Texas-El Paso in the first
games of both matches, the Ducks
;i could not hold off their opponents
and fell in both cases at the Hilton
Classic.
On Saturday, Oregon opened the
match with a 15-2 win against
UTEP, but was plagued by errors
throughout the contest to allow the
Miners to come-from-behind and
win the final three games.
After narrowly losing games two
(12-15) and three
(14-16), Oregon
committed 11 er
rors in the fourth
set to end their
season with a 3-1
loss.
Junior Monique
Tobbagi paced the Ducks with 19
kills, eight digs and four service
aces. In her final match for Oregon,
senior Halie Mazza recorded a dou
ble-double (17 kills, 10 digs) and
led the team with four blocks.
Sophomore setter Sydney Chute
just missed her second consecutive
triple-double with eight kills, 27 as
sists and 13 digs.
As a team, Oregon tallied a .215
hitting percentage, but were out
killed (72-65) and outblocked (18
12). The Ducks also recorded 11
services aces.
Friday’s match against the host
school would have belonged to the
Ducks — if it were played on paper.
Oregon posted a better hitting
percentage — .210 to .113 — and
had more kills, assists, digs and
blocks than New Mexico State.
But Oregon ended up losing the
five-game thriller.
After an easy 15-1 victory in
game one, the Ducks found them
selves down 2-1 heading into game
four. A 15-8 win forced the Aggies
into a deciding fifth game on their
home floor.
And the 404 fans helped their
team pull out the victory, 15-13.
With 10 kills, 30 assists and 12
digs, Chute had her second triple
double of the year.
Mazza (15 kills, seven digs, sev
en blocks) and Tobbagi (13 kills, 17
digs, four blocks) again led the
Ducks, posting .375 and .333 attack
percentages, respectively.
Senior Amy Banducci finished
her career with a double-double —
12 kills and 11 digs.
The Aggies (14-17 overall) de
feated UTEP on Saturday to win the
Hilton Classic Championship.

The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — The San Diego
Chargers won’t go 0-for-2000 after
all.
“This gets us out of the history
books,” a relieved coach Mike Riley
said after the Chargers beat Kansas
City 17-16 Sunday, stopping their
season-opening losing streak at 11.
The Chargers were spared a dirty
dozen losses, thanks to John Car
ney’s 52-vard field goal with 2:14
left.
San Diego’s defense then went
all-out as Kansas City got one last
shot behind an ineffective Warren
Moon, who turned 44 eight days
earlier. Safety Michael Dumas
raced in and sacked Moon on third
down, then punched his fists into
the air.
After Moon’s fourth-down pass
sailed incomplete with 1:10 to play,
linebacker Junior Seau fell to his
knees at midfield and stayed there
for an extra moment, relieved that
the ugliness that made the Chargers
a national joke was finally over.
The Chargers are no longer in
danger of becoming the first NFL
team to go 0-16.
Still, all that losing was taking its
toll.
“When you’re putting your kids
to bed and their prayer at night is
‘God, please let daddy win, some
time,’ you know it’s getting bad,”
said Seau, a father of three.
Walking off the field, Ryan Leaf
threw the game ball into the crowd,
one of his better passes all day. Leaf
threw two touchdown passes to
tight end Freddie Jones in the first
half, but he was intercepted twice
in the second half when both of
fenses were awful.
The Chargers tried to give it away
by committing five turnovers, but it
came down to Carney, a 14-year
veteran who earlier this season be
came the first player in team history
to score 1,000 points.
Carney kicked the ball straight
through the uprights, then jumped
up and down and leapt into the
arms oi noicter uarren uenneu. rie
then went around and head-butted
his blockers.
“It felt pretty good coming off my
foot,” Carney said. “But that does
n’t mean that they always go
through when they feel like that. I
watched this one until it did.
“This has been a tough time for
all of us. It feels great to get into the
win column.”
With Moon making just his sec
ond start in two years, the Chiefs (5
7) lost their fourth straight game.
Moon started in place of Elvis Gr
bac, who has a sore right index fin
ger.
Coincidentally, San Diego also
beat Kansas City in 1975 after start
ing 0-11.
“It’s tough to keep our heads up,
losing four in a row and then com
ing out here to San Diego and losing
to a team that hasn’t won a game all
year,” comerback Eric Warfield
said.
The Chargers seemed to be just
minutes away from setting the team
record for consecutive losses at 12,
which also would have been the
worst NFL start since Indianapolis
went 0-13 in 1986.
But Nate Jacquet returned a punt
35 yards to the Kansas City 36 to set
up Carney’s kick for a fourth-quar
ter lead that held. During their los
ing streak, the Chargers had blown
late fourth-quarter leads six times.
“We know how to win,” defen
sive tackle John Parrella said. “We
just had forgotten how to knock
people out.”
Leaf gave the Chargers a 14-6
halftime lead with touchdown
passes of 20 and 7 yards to Jones on
consecutive drives.
But on the second play of the sec
ond half, linebacker Marvcus Pat
ton intercepted Leaf and returned it
24 yards for a touchdown to pull
the Chiefs to 14-13. It was the sec
ond time Leaf has had an intercep
tion returned for a touchdown this
season.
