which were touchdowns.
“That has a lot to do with Joey
Harrington’s leadership and ability
to operate down there,” Bellotti
said.
Despite the offensive explosion,
junior wide receiver Keenan Howry
said the unit can still improve.
“You can always get better,” said
Howry, who had four touchdown
receptions in Oregon’s 42-24 victo
ry over Arizona State Saturday.
“You can never say you’ve played a
perfect game.”
Said Bellotti: “From where this
thing was nine weeks ago, I’m very
pleased at where we’re at. We have
great focus right now.”
Sold out
The implications are huge when
the Ducks and Bruins meet Satur
day, and the crowd at the Rose
Bowl will show up accordingly.
A sold-out crowd is expected to
greet the Ducks Saturday as they
enter the Rose Bowl, which seats
more than 91,000.
“My roommates were trying to
call for some tickets, but both the
Oregon section and the UCLA sec
tion were sold out,” Harrington
said. “So we’re anticipating a lot of
people. We’re going to go out there
and it’s going to be two great
teams.”
Bellotti said as many as 20,000
Oregon fans may make the trip to
Los Angeles.
“How many times does that hap
pen?” he said.
Eat your apples
Bellotti said junior rover Rasuli
Webster “should be OK” for the
UCLA game after suffering a
strained hamstring against Arizona
State.
Both tailbacks, senior Maurice
Morris and sophomore Onterrio
Smith, will also play Saturday.
Morris sat out the ASU game with a
sore hamstring, but could have
played if necessary. Smith’s right
eye was inflamed when his helmet
rubbed against it during the game
against the Sun Devils; he sat out
Monday’s practice but was back on
the field Tuesday.
In all, Bellotti said, “I don’t think
anybody will be ruled out” for the
Bruins game.

Volleyball
continued from page 5
Junior blocker Amanda Porter
had her best match of the season,
posting a career-best .636 hitting per
centage and tying a career-high with
six blocks. Defensively, Lindsay
Murphy led the Ducks with 16 digs.
The win also marked the return
of junior blocker Stephanie Martin,
who sat out Friday’s game against
No. 4 Stanford with a knee injury.
Martin had 12 kills and four blocks
against the Pilots.
But the Ducks also know they
need to make it happen in the Pac
10 as well. Ferreira sees the non
conference matchups as important,
especially since they offer a break
from the ultra-competitive Pac-10.
“It’s all about learning what the
Pac-10 is,” he said. “The consis
tency (of play) will follow the ma
ture responsibility of doing it all the
time.”
In game four against Portland,
the Ducks sealed their four-point
win with two solo blocks and 10
block assists, en route to a match
high 17 total blocks.
But the team as a whole stayed
strong enough for the win.
Led by senior junior Anna Abat
zoglou, who had a career-high 18
kills in the match, the pesky Pilots
kept the Ducks at bay until they fi
nally caved in. In the first game of
the match, Portland held off the
Ducks to win by a scant two points,
essentially putting the match in
their hands.
But the resiliency of the young
Oregon squad showed through, and
this time it paid off dividends.
A 30-27 win in game two put
the match back in reach, and it
showed in game three as the
Ducks again took a game from the
Pilots. The 30-24 win put them
ahead of their opponent for the
first time since a loss to Idaho
State on Oct. 14.
One game and seven total blocks
later, the Ducks had pulled out
their first win in almost two
months with a 30-26 win.
The Ducks now take momentum
into their match against Oregon
State at McArthur Court Friday.

Runners trying to stay healthy
■ hreshmen bara bchaaf and
Seth Pilkington will both likely
miss this weekend’s regional
championships in Arizona
By Chris Cabot
Oregon Daily Emerald
Women’s cross country freshman
Sara Schaaf, who has had pain in
her upper leg throughout the year,
may not run at
the Western Re
gional this
weekend. There
is a possibility
that Schaaf has a
stress fracture on
her femur, which would prevent
her from running.
“We don’t want to jump to con
clusions that it might be (a stress
fracture), but it’s been hurting, so
hopefully in the next couple days
we’ll find out,” Schaaf said. “If it is
something not too serious, I may be
able to run.”
Another freshman fails
On the men’s side, another true
freshman, Seth Pilkington, will not
run in this weekend’s regional
championships in Tucson, Ariz.
Pilkington collapsed in the pre-na
tionals on Oct. 13 and head coach
Martin Smith opted to hold him out
of the Pacific-10 Conference Cham
pionships on Oct. 27.
The idea, however, is to preserve
Pilkington’s strength for the NCAA
Championships on Nov. 17. Both
races are lOKs and there may be a
question about whether Pilkington
would be ready for the nationals if
he ran in the regionals.
Back on track
After a fall midway through the
Pac-10 Championships that cost
him valuable time, All-American
Jason Hartmann should be fully re
covered by Saturday’s regional
race. Hartmann — who finished
sixth in the Pac-10 — had no seri
ous injuries, just some bruises and
soreness that lingered.
Preppin’ it up
In a state known for it’s running,
the top race for the Class 4A high
school cross country runners was
held at Lane Community College.
The 5,000-kilometer cross country
championships was won by Lauren
Jesperson with a time of 15:29, just
ahead of teammate Jacob Gomez.
Both runners hail from Klamath
Union High School, the same school
where Schaaf spent her prep years.
Schaaf trained with Jesperson and
Gomez during both the cross coun
try and track seasons, so she became
good friends with them.
“Our great coach ... was like our
good friend,” Schaaf said. “So even
during school during breaks and
stuff we would all go down to her
room and just hang out as a team
and a group.”
Other notables
The cross country team from
South Eugene High School placed
first in the girls’ race at the state
championships. Oregon harrier
Eric Heinonen, whose father, Tom,
is the head coach of the Oregon
women’s cross country team, is a
graduate of South Eugene and a for
mer runner on the Axeman cross
country team.
Heinonen, a freshman, is red
shirting this season to save a year of
eligibility.

Club hockey falls to nation’s top team
■ l he hockey team returned
from Wyoming and Colorado
with two losses last weekend
ByMindiRice
for the Emerald
The Oregon Club Sports hockey
team may be 3-7-0 this year, but the
Ducks continue to improve with
every game.
Last weekend the Ducks traveled
to Wyoming and Colorado for two
games. Although the team lost 2-1
Friday to Wyoming State, goalie Joel
Fagliano had one of his better games
on the season, allowing only two
goals in 35 attempts.
Mike Tomabene scored the only
goal for Oregon with five minutes
left against Wyoming State.
Saturday, the Ducks played Cof
orado State, the defending Ameri
can Collegiate Hockey Association
C champions. The
UUl) game proved to be
PSjJjK a good lesson for
Oregon as it was
reminded about
the values of solid
passing and str ong hitting. The final
score, 13-1, doesn’t tell the whole
story as the Ducks had a relatively
good showing against one of the
country’s strongest teams.
Oregon is in the Pacific-8 Hockey
Conference, which is a sub-confer
ence in the ACHA. The Pac-8 con- *
sists of the Pac-10 teams minus Ari
zona, which belongs to ACHA •
Division I, and Oregon State, which -
does not have a team.
Oregon won its last home series
against Washington State at the end
of October. The Ducks’ three wins
on the season have all come at home
against Pac-8 teams,
The Ducks host UCLA Friday and
Saturday as Pac-8 play resumes. Both
games are at 7:30 p.m. at the Lane
County Ice Arena at the fairgrounds.
