Ducks lose to Stanford, 3-1
■The Oregon volleyball squad
loses to Stanford in four, but not
before taking a game from one
of the best in the country
By Hank Hager
Oregon Daily Emerald
If only for a few moments, the
Oregon volleyball team switched
places with the No. 4 team in the
country Friday.
But it didn’t last, as the Oregon
women lost a tough four-game (30
25, 29-31, 30-13, 30-18) match to
the Stanford Cardinal (20-2 overall,
12-1 Pacific-10 Conference) at
McArthur Court.

A record crowd of 1,863 saw the
Ducks fall behind early in the sec
ond game, 12-11, only to come back
strong and with authority. At 16-14,
the Ducks (8-16, 0-13) took the lead
for good on a kill by senior
Monique Tobbagi.
It was anything but smooth sail
ing for Oregon the rest of the way.
A kill by All-Pac-10 player and
former Olympian Logan Tom
evened the game at 22, but her
service error and an emphatic kill
by Junior Lindsay Closs put the
Ducks back ahead at 24-22. A vir
tual tug-of-war took place until
Stanford pulled even once again
at 29 when Tom produced anoth
er of her 17 kills-.
But that would be the end for the
Cardinal. Closs again came up
strong for the Ducks with one of her
five blocks in the match. With game
two and a vital piece of momentum
on the line, sophomore Lindsay
Murphy came up with her last and
most important service ace of the
match. At 31-29, the Ducks had
won a game against one of the top
teams in the country.
“We were stoked,” Closs said.
“We had just beaten the No. 4 team
in the nation. We just played our
butts off. It was exciting. ”
Closs led the Ducks, both mental
ly and physically, in their one-game
win. She accounted for six of the
first seven Duck points in the game,
including three kills and three
blocks. She filled in with vigor in
place of junior Stephanie Martin,
who sat out her first match of the
season due to a leg injury suffered
against California on Thursday.
Also coming up big for the Ducks
was Tobbagi, who finished with 18
kills in the match.
“It feels really good to play
against the No. 4 team in the nation
when you’re not having the greatest
season record-wise,” she said. “I
don’t think you’ll find another team
in this nation that’s as resilient as
us. We work hard every day, and if
you came in and watched us at
practice, you’d think we were 13-0
instead of 0-13.”
In games three and four, the
Ducks again looked flat against the
dominating Stanford offense. In
game three, the Cardinal had runs of
five and seven points, respectively.
Freshman Ogonna Nnamani led
Stanford in both games, coming out
of the*shell she had been in during
the first two games. Nnamani had a
match-high 20 kills and an amazing
.594 hitting percentage on the night.
Despite the Ducks’ inability to
maintain the same confidence and
momentum in the last two games,
most felt the night was an over
whelming success for the team.
“You wonder where all the re
siliency comes from,” head coach
Carl Ferreira said. “It says a lot
about the players who are involved
in this program.”
Tobbagi led the Ducks in kills
with 18, while Closs backed her up
with 10. Redshirt sophomore
Heather Gilmore also came in and
provided a spark for Oregon, pes
tering the Cardinal for nine kills
and seven digs.
“I thought we gave it our all,”
freshman Lauren Westendorf said,
who also came in with five kills.
“We gave everything we had on the
court and gave Stanford a run for
their money. It’s just a great feeling
that we had the performance we
did tonight.”
