Oregon Club Sports volleyball team wins it all
■ Oregon Club Sports volleyball
team heads to Dallas and defeats
Purdue to take its second
championship in two years
By Hank Hager
Oregon Daily Emerald
The Oregon Club Sports volley
ball team did it again.
After defeating Purdue to claim
the 2001 National Intramural
Recreational Sports Association
Championship, the women from
Oregon defended their trophy with
honor. So much honor, in fact, that
they took the 2002 championship as
well, held in Dallas.
“ We were the team that everybody
hated, and everyone wanted to
knock us out because we were not
supposed to win,” team coordinator
Stacey Terry said. “It was a different
feeling this time. We were the ones
on top who had to stay on top.”
The Ducks defeated Miami of
Ohio to claim this year’s champi
onship in the gold bracket, taking
the final match in three sets (25-22,
17-25,15-10).
On their way to winning the sec
ond title, the Ducks had to win nine
matches in three days, including
four on the tournament’s final day,
April 20. Their win over Florida on
the final day included a first-game
win of 25-0.
“We have always known we
would go back and have a chance to
run at it again,” Terry said. “We
knew we could do it again and just
needed to do it at that time.”
With the win also comes top hon
ors. Oregon, headed by fifth-year
coach Cody Banner, claimed the
Tournament MVP as well as three
all-tournament players.
Senior Carli Halligan, who
earned an all-tournament selection
in last season’s tournament, was
honored as the top player in the
2002 version. She is joined by sen
ior Annie Pogue, last season’s MVP,
and senior Nicki Daman as all-tour
nament selections.
“The club team tends to attract very
strong players who want that high lev
el of play,” said Club Sports coordina
tor Sandra Vaughn. “(The champi
onship) brings a lot of credit to the
club program. I think this speaks high
ly of the players and coach. ”
Next season may be a challenge for
the Ducks to claim their third straight
championship. Of the nine players
on this season’s squad, five will be
graduating, including Halligan,
Pogue and Daman, as well as Terry
and fellow senior Tina Austinson.
The Ducks, however, will return
juniors Jessica Mae Van Ourkerk and
Heidi Swanson, sophomore Nina
Bakos and freshman Christina Chun.

Heinonen questions honesty of foes
■With the Oregon Invitational
on Saturday, individual marks
are put closely under the radar
By Hank Hager
Oregon Daily Emerald
Three weeks ago, after the Clyde
Littlefield Texas Relays, Oregon
women’s track head coach Tom
Heinonen was a bit peeved about
marks entered for opposing athletes.
According to Heinonen, some en
tries from other schools may have
had marks entered for them that
were too high. This forced some of
Oregon’s competitors to participate
in lower sections of an event.
With the day-long Oregon Invita
tional taking place Saturday, the
same situation could happen again.
With such a broad spectrum of ath
letes coming from schools such as
Arizona State and Army, there is no
way to verify all the marks that are
entered, Heinonen said.
“When you’re on the entering
end and you know that people en
ter bogus marks, you get mad,” he
said. “When you’re on the receiv
ing end, you don’t have the time to
deal with it."
Because Oregon coaches and of
ficials are the meet directors, more
than verifying marks must go into
planning for the Invitational. This
doesn’t allow for much fact-check
ing on other team’s athletes.
“Getting into these relays with a
bogus mark is the way a lot of peo
ple play the game,” Heinonen said.
Fun with computers, Part 2
Want to know who would win
between a matchup of the Oregon
women and Stanford? How about
the Ducks and Arizona State?
The Web site www.tearn-pow
er, org ranks collegiate teams based
on power points. The Ducks are
currently 13th in the country with
a point score of 324.8, far behind
first-place UCLA (389.34).
The site also allows users to pit
school-against-school. If the Ducks
were to face-off against the Sun
Devils, Arizona State would squeak
by Oregon, 99-96.
According to the site, the Ducks
would not fare well against the rest
of the Pacific-10 Conference. Using
each team’s highest marks, UCLA
would dominate against Oregon,
127-73, while Washington State
would barely win, 103-97.
But have no fear, Duck fans. In a
simulation against Washington, the
Huskies canie out on top, 102-98. In
the real thing two weeks ago, the
Ducks were the victors, 105-95.
Injury time out
“This is an important meet for
us,” Heinonen said of the Oregon
Invitational. “There’s solid compe
tition for virtually everybody. In the
field events, anything can happen.”
For that reason alone, it is vital for
the Duck women to be healthy this
weekend. And save for a few bumps,
bruises and pulls, Oregon is the
healthiest it has been for a while.
Freshman Roslyn Lundeen and
sophomore Sarah Malone are both
nursing injuries but expect to com
pete this weekend.
“Obviously, Sarah and Ros are
day-to-day,” Heinonen said. “We’re
not going to risk anything.”
Heinonen said sophomore C’Rel
McAllister and freshman Michelle
Donovan, two of the team’s track
athletes, are “iffy” and that junior
Alicia Snyder-Carlson, another of
the team’s runners, has been train
ing in the pool with a sore foot.

“Aaron can take it about as far
as he wants to go,” Nosier said.
Men ready for Pac-10’s
The stage has finally been set for
the 2002 Pac-10 Championship.
And with a course close to
home and the momentum they
are carrying, the Ducks say they
could not be more ready.
Oregon will play the Trysting
Tee Golf Course in Corvallis, with
36 holes scheduled today and 18
each on Friday and Saturday.
“We need to go out and play
four solid, good rounds,” Carna
han said.
The Ducks got off to a horrible
start in the 2001 Pac-10 Champi
onships at Stanford and never re
covered. Oregon rallied on the
last day to finish eight, just avoid
ing last place.
But what a difference a year has
made. The Ducks have five consec
utive top-five finishes and enter
five golfers with postseason experi
ence into this year’s tournament.
Byers will make his final
“home” appearance in his third
Pac-10 Tournament. Junior John
Ellis will fill the No. 2 spot with
a 72.7 stroke average. Carnahan
is No. 3, with senior Brandon
Harnden and sophomore Mike
Sica filling the four and five
spots, respectively.
Oregon will face a more com
petitive field than ever this time
around.
“From top to bottom there are
more teams who could win than
ever in the history of Pac-10,”
Nosier said. “The perception of
your program is based on this sin
gle event. We have to play good.”
Women finish last
at Walla Walla
The Oregon women’s golf team
did not have the final day it want
ed and fell one spot to 10th in the
final round of the 2002 Pac-10
Championships.
The Ducks shot a final round
318 Wednesday at the Walla Wal
la Country Club in Washington.
Senior Kathy Cho was the Ducks’
low golfer, shooting a four-over 76
to finished tied for 17th at 230 .
Cho was Oregon’s only player to
finish in the top 40.
Arizona defended its title by
shooting an 891 to just hold off
UCLA by eight strokes.
