was running on adrenaline and you
don’t really feel it.”
Finishing second for the Ducks
and 11th overall with a time of
25:00.4 was senior Adam Bergquist,
who has seen limited action this
season. Hartmann said Bergquist
ran “exceptionally well.”
Other finishers for Oregon were
sophomores John Lucas (17th,
25:10.0) and Brett Holts (21st,
25:17.2), and redshirt freshmen
Ryan Andrus (23rd, 25:23.8) and
Eric Logsdon (30th, 25:50.1).
Freshman Seth Pilkington was
pulled out of the race by head coach
Martin Smith for health reasons.
Pilkington collapsed in the Ducks’
last race due to dehydration and
Smith said he did not want to risk a
similar Pilkington collapse in a race
with hot temperatures.
The top finishers in the race were
Stanford’s Grant Robison (24:04.0),
Arizona State’s Fasil Bizuneh
(24:06.4) and Stanford’s Donald
Sage (24:11.4).
Hartmann and the rest of the har
riers are optimistic about the rest of
the season.
“We’re steadily improving each
time we go out there and hopefully
we’ll pull it all together at districts,”
Hartmann said.

“I was very pleased for 95 percent
of the game,” defensive coordinator
Nick Aliotti said, referring to the last
drive. “We were a little too cautious
at the end, but I don't want to start
there. Our kids really did a nice job
today. I’m very proud of them. ”
Oregon defensive back Rashad
Bauman said the key to the game was
forcing Gesser out of his rhythm.
“We definitely needed to put
pressure on Gesser,” Bauman said.
“We knew he was going to have
some problems going out of the
pocket, so once we got him out of
the pocket and got him uncomfort
able, it was a lot easier to defend. ”
Freshman placekicker Jared
Siegel gave Oregon a 17-3 lead early
in the fourth quarter. The real story
of the second half, however, was
Onterrio Smith.
The cold and rainy conditions
called for a strong ground game, and
Oregon came with just that against
the Cougar defense. On 19 carries in
the final two quarters, Smith tallied
229 yards, including a 73-yard touch
down run with 5:39 left on the clock.
“I don't know, there were so many
of them,” Harrington said when
asked about his favorite Smith play.
“That's just an easy day for me. ”
“It feels pretty good right now,”
Oregon center Ryan Schmid said. “I
think we came together today as an
entire offense. That's the good thing
about our offense, we have so many
weapons, that if the running game
is struggling, we can go to the air
and vice versa.”
In a game that pitted the confer
ence's top offense in the Cougars
and the second-to-worst defense in
the Ducks, it was a surprise to see a
shutout on the board after 15 min
utes. The first score of the game
came after a trick play by the Cougs
when receiver Collin Henderson
took an end-around from backup
quarterback Matt Kegel and threw
back to Kegel for a 63-yard pass
play, which set up a 34-yard field
goal by Drew Dunning.
The Ducks’ offense received a
boost from the defense on that drive,
as the Oregon “D” did well to hold
the Cougars to the field goal.
“Coach Aliotti, it goes all to him,”
Bauman said. “He couldn't have
called a better game.”
And the Ducks couldn't have
asked for a better win at a better time.
WSU, Washington sweep
winless Ducks in series
■Two three-game losses keep
the Ducks winless in Pac-10 play
By Hank Hager
Oregon Daily Emerald
It was a tale of two Oregon volley
ball teams this weekend in Wash
ington. Unfortunately for the Ducks,
neither tale resulted in a win.
A night after losing a quick match
to Washington State (12-8, 7-6 Pacif
ic-10 Conference)
in Pullman, Wash.,
on Friday, the
Ducks traveled to
Seattle to take on
conference rival
Washington on
Saturday.
What happened during the
match has been unparalleled for
the Oregon women this season.
Despite a three-game loss to the
Huskies by scores of 30-28, 30-25
and 30-26, the Ducks made a state
ment with their strong play.
Tied at 15 in the first game, Oregon
(8-14, 0-11) was looking for a run of
points to put away the pesky Huskies
(11-11, 4-9). Instead, Oregon saw
Washington put away the Ducks.
A 7-3 run put Washington ahead
at 22-18. But the Ducks’ resiliency
began to show, when kills by sen
iors Monique Tobbagi and Julie Ger
lach, as well as junior Stephanie
Martin, pulled Oregon to within
one point, at 22-21.
Five points later, the Ducks tied
the score at 24, and were looking for
their first game-win in almost a
week. But it wasn’t Oregon’s night,
as a 6-3 Washington run gave them
the first game and control of the
match.
In the second game, Washington’s
controlled offense kept the Ducks
from getting close, and Oregon fell
behind quickly at 24-16. Kills by
Washington senior Allison Richard
son and junior Paige Benjamin put
the Ducks away for good, and put
the Huskies ahead 2-0.
The third game would end with
the same results, but not in the
same fashion as the first two. Ore
gon led early, 11-8, and moved
ahead to 18-17 before finally let
ting up and allowing the Huskies
to take the lead. A service ace by
junior Gretchen Maurer tied the
score at 18. An 11-8 Washington
run put the Ducks away for good,
and allowed them to take the sea
son series from their Eugene rivals
for the fourth time in five years.
However, it was different game for
the Oregon women against the
Huskies. Tobbagi, coming back strong
after an early-season slump, led the
Ducks with 15 kills. Her 10 digs gave
her a double-double in the match.
“I’m probably more impressed
with her character,” Oregon head
coach Carl Ferreira said when asked
about Tobbagi’s resurgence. “It’s like
she hit her head on a cement floor
and has been recovering ever since.
But how she’s dealt with it has been
something I’ve been proud for in
terms of the adversity she’s been in. ”
Martin followed up Tobbagi’s 15
kills with 15 of her own, while fel
low junior transfer Lindsay Closs
pitched in with nine kills and four
blocks. Sophomore Lindsay Murphy
led Oregon once again with 13 digs.
More importantly, the Ducks
played stronger than usual as a
team, hitting for a .262 percentage
and totaling 51 kills, only four shy
of the Huskies’ 55.
Friday was an entirely different
story, but one with which the Ducks
are accustomed.
Friday’s three-game loss (30-18,
30-23,30-21) to the Cougars marked
Oregon’s 22nd straight loss to Wash
ington State, with their last win
coming in 1990 at McArthur Court.
Bohler Gym in Pullman has not
been a favorable place for the Ducks,
who haven’t won at Washington
State since 1989.
Tobbagi’s nine kills and 13 digs
against the Cougars paced Ferreira’s
squad in the match, but as a team, the
Ducks were entirely overmatched.
Washington State had nine serv
ice aces, while Oregon could muster
only one against the Cougars’ strong
defense. Five service errors by both
teams helped even the score, but
Wazzu had 52 kills to the Ducks’ 38.
Washington State also held the ad
vantage in digs, 48-38.
“The crowd was really into it
tonight and it was a lot of fun,”
Cougar head coach Cindy Fredrick
said about Washington State’s dom
inance. “We didn't play the pretti
est volleyball. It was fun to not be
uptight and that doesn't happen
very often in this conference. ”
One bright spot for the Ducks
over the weekend came in the form
of freshman Lauren Westendorf.
Listed as a setter in the Oregon me
dia guide, Westendorf has come of
age recently. Her eight digs against
the Washington schools have rein
forced her defensive ability.
“Pac-10 (play) is so much faster
and the girls hit the ball harder,” she
said. “Here, the competition is better
and you’re always playing against
the top teams in the country, and you
have to be ready every single point. ”
