took the lead at 16-15, Ore
gon hung around and
pestered Cal with some re
siliency of their own. After
catching up to the Bears
and tying the game at 26,
Martin showed her true
colors and pushed Cal in
the corner with two big
kills. Her fifth kill of the
match proved to be the
back breaker, and gave the
Ducks a three-point win.
But Ferreira wasn’t par
ticularly pleased with the
team’s play, especially after
their poor start in game one.
“We didn’t start out at
the same level that we did
on our Washington trip,”
he said. “I thought we had
a grovel win in game two.
We hung in there and hung
in there and found a way to
win.”
The Ducks were no
match for Cal in game four,
losing 30-22 and ending
the night with their 14th
loss in a row.
Tobbagi led the Ducks on
the night with 20 kills and
13 digs. Martin and Closs
contributed with 15 and 10
kills, respectively. Also
looking strong for the
Ducks was senior Julie Ger
lach, who posted nine kills
and 40 assists, and fresh
man Lauren Westendorf,
with five kills of her own.
The Ducks take on No. 4
Stanford tonight at 8 p.m.
The match follows women’s
basketball in a doublehead
er at McArthur Court.

cause it’s our coaching staff’s sort of
style, but I think our philosophy is
that we need to play to the strengths
of our athletes,” Smith said. “Cer
tainly our quickness, shooting and
running are going to be solid
strengths that we’re going to do at
both ends of the floor.”
The Ducks are coming off a 2000
01 season that saw them finish 17
12 overall (10-8 Pac-10), including
a first-round overtime loss to Iowa
in the NCAA Tournament.
The team was wrought with tur
moil with one week left in the sea
son, when eight players met with
Athletic Director Bill Moos to re
quest that then-head coach Jody
Runge be fired.
On May 1, Runge resigned from
her post.
Now, with a fresh start under
Smith, the Ducks hope to create tur
moil for their opponents.
Cross country

er on the team, but after an excellent
training summer, she came back
much improved this fall.
Most of Zografos’ summer was
spent in rural Mexico, where she
had to train in a location that was
less than ideal for an American fe
male. Her training grounds were a
park that took her about five min
utes to circle. She would train for
more than an hour covering the
same ground over and over with lo
cals staring and yelling at the for
eign girl who was there every morn
ing.
“It was really hard to get out and
do it,” she said.
But thanks to her dedication at
the park, Zografos has led the Ore
gon team in every race in which she
has run this season. But head coach
Tom Heinonen said the pressure
the team has put on Zografos may
not be the best thing for her.
“It really was unfair to Carrie to
be placed in the position of being
the top runner at Oregon, because
our team normally has been so
much stronger,” Heinonen said. “It
is a heavy burden for her to carry
when she is such a novice in cross
country and in distance running.
“The lack of success of our team
has weighed heavily on her.”
Zografos is not alone in her rela
tive inexperience in distance run
ning on the women’s cross country
team, and Heinonen is the first to
take the blame for having a crowd
of middle distance runners on the
long distance team.
“We just weren’t able to land the
big-gun high school runners who
could step right in and help us out,
So we’re asking people who run a
lot shorter distances to try to run
cross country for us,” Heinonen
said.
But Zografos has maintained her
motivation throughout the season
primarily through memories of the
training she put in this summer and
her love of running.
“I really love to run. I really do.
But this season has been hard be
cause I feel like I’m not supposed to
be a six-kilometer runner,” she said.
Through the pitfalls of the sea
son, Zografos has retained her hope
and her charm. She also has volun
teered twice a week at the Brattain
House in Springfield, where she is
helping children and working on
her goal to be fluent in Spanish.
“When you talk to her you see
just a buoyant personality,”
Heinonen said. “She’s so much fun
to be around.”
The NCAA Western Regional
Championships on Nov. 10 remain
for Zografos and the harriers, and
they are looking at the race as a
chance to pull it all together and
close the season on a positive note.
