T\v o blockers hit century in Ducks’ win
■Juniors Stephanie Martin and
Lindsay Closs became the first
Oregon tandem since 1993 to
record 100 blocks each
By Hank Hager
Oregon Daily Emerald
Not since 1993 has Oregon
seen more consistent defensive
play from its players than it has
this season.-And it’s beginning to
pay off.
In Oregon’s 3-1 victory over
Portland on Tuesday — the
Ducks’ first since Sept. 8 — jun
ior Stephanie Martin became the
first Duck since Alii White in
1996 to top the century mark in
blocks. Her four against Portland
on Tuesday gave her 104 for the
season.
With 10 blocks against the Pi
lots, Closs joined Martin with 109
blocks of her own, and looks to
better her 125 total blocks earned
last season at Fresno State with
five matches left to play.
The tandem’s feat marks the
first time the Ducks have had two
players with more than 100
blocks in a season since 1993,
when Karissa Meith and Angee
Henderson roamed McArthur
Court.
“When you consider that total
blocks translate to points, that’s
huge,” head coach Carl Ferreira
said.
Stepping up
Not since Heather Gilmore’s
early-season injury had the Ducks
been at such a loss as when Mar
tin had to sit out against Stanford
last Friday. The junior has been
playing with back spasms for
most of the season, and they fi
nally caught up to her in the
match against California.
“I don’t know if back spasms
made her injure her knee, but she
was definitely favoring it (on
Thursday),” Ferreira said.
Martin returned with a
vengeance against Portland, rack
ing up 12 kills and four blocks.
But Ferreira said she may find
outside hitter as her destination.
She normally starts as a middle
blocker, but the lateral movement
required by the position would
put too much pressure on her al
ready brittle knee, further expos
ing it to injury.
But if she isn’t ready to go in
the future, the Ducks aren’t wor
ried. Oregon has the parts to fill
in, and did so against Stanford.
“I’m proud of (Amanda) Porter,
who stepped in and took respon
sibility to fill that role,” Tobbagi
said.
“I think Lauren (Westendorf)
did a good job, I think Porter
came in and stepped up, and so
did Heather,” Ferreira said. “The
culmination of those three play
ers helped alleviate the absence
of Martin.”
Westendorf, Porter and Gilmore
combined for 19 kills and 16 digs
against Stanford.
The place was rockin’
The Ducks couldn’t have asked
for a better setting Friday. No. 4
Stanford was in town, and a sea
son-high crowd of 1,863 showed
up. The match followed a
women’s basketball exhibition
game, which saw more than
4,000 patrons pass through the
McArthur Court turnstiles. With
almost half staying to see the
Ducks challenge Stanford, the to
tal represented the ninth-highest
in McArthur history for volley
ball, and the most since 1996,
when 3,716 witnessed Oregon
upset then-No. 21 Oregon State.
“I’m all about piggybacking
where you need to piggyback,”
Ferreira said. “I think it’s a great
idea to have a doubleheader.”
Keeping those fans in the seats
may have been the biggest problem
for the Ducks, with the crowd top
ping 1,000 at McArthur for only
the second time this season. How
ever, there was no problem getting
up for the match.
“It was incredible,” Tobbagi
said. “The crowd gave us a good
advantage. I’m very proud to be on
this team..”

Moore
continued from page 9
Those noises just can’t seem to
escape the fresh-faced 18-year-old’s
mind.
“Ahh!” said Moore while lifting
both hands in demonstration of the
crowd. “The adrenaline was flow
ing, and you hear all 46,000 people
cheering. Ahh! It’s wonderful. It’s a
great feeling.
“I wanted to separate him from
the ball, and I didn’t, but I got him
good, though,” he said.
The tackle was the first of three
Moore recorded in the game, a ca
reer high for the man who now has
recorded eight on the year while
playing in every contest.
“Stevie’s doing a great job and
making plays,” Oregon head coach
Mike Bellotti said. “The more and
more he plays, the better he gets.”
Moore’s soaking in every mo
ment while being the backup to
senior Rashad Bauman, who Moore
said is like another coach, and has
filled in nicely when needed. For
example, the reason he played
much of the third quarter against
the Sun Devils was that Bauman
had a bad reaction to anti-inflam
matory medicine and was throwing
up at halftime.
So for Moore, the satisfaction of
keeping things afloat while Bau
man was away and making big
plays in the process gave him a feel
ing of “having arrived.”
“I didn’t give
up any big
plays and held
my own, and
that feels good
and gives the
coaches confi
dence in me,”
Moore said.
“You kind of get
that confidence
going. Like, you
always knew
you could do it, but when you actu
ally just get out there and do it, the
confidence starts rolling, ya know?
“I can’t even explain it, but I like
it,” he said.
And Bauman has liked what he’s
seen out of his pupil.
“Stevie’s good, there’s no hiding
that fact,” Bauman said. “He’s a lot
like me.”
One of the similarities the two
share is that they both hail from
MOORE
California. In fact, 60 players on the
Ducks played high school football *
in the state, giving this week’s game
a little extra flavor and providing
those players some added motiva- *
tion to want to have a good game.
Moore, who grew up following
Southern California more than
UCLA, is one of many Ducks who
wanted to play college ball for one
of the two L. A. schools, but such an
opportunity never knocked.
“Yeah, it’s kind of like, let’s prove
them wrong and go out there and
show them what we can do,”
Moore said. “You know, we got a
little chip on our shoulders and
we’re going to go down there and
try to bang them up a little bit.
That’s what it’s all about.”
And playing in games with as
much magnitude as Oregon-UCLA
this Saturday is what college foot
ball’s all about.
“Yup yup, the Rose Bowl, 90,000 ^
people, ABC. It’s on. Oh man, is it
going to be on,” Moore said.
His smile will be too.
