Bruins, Trojans sweep Ducks in Golden State Oregon cant overcome its errors in a weekend sweep to No. 13 UCLA and No. 1 USC Volleyball Hank Hager Sports Reporter For the Oregon volleyball team, the numbers just don’t lie. The numbers this weekend were No. 13 UCLA and No. 1 USC. Despite a valiant effort Friday night against the Bruins, the Ducks suffered a sweep in Southern Califor nia, extending their Pacific-10 Con ference losing streak to 28-matches. After starting strong in games one and two, Oregon could not over come the Bruins on Friday and were swept (30-28, 30-24, 30-20) after a sluggish third game. The Ducks (10-11 overall, 0-7 Pac-10) stayed with UCLA in the first two sets despite failing to regis ter a hitting percentage more than .167. In game 3, Oregon matched of fensive kills and errors — six apiece — for a neutral percentage. Oregon had a chance to take a 1-0 lead against the Bruins (12-6, 5-3). Oregon was up 23-21 late, after a kill by sophomore Lauren Westendorf, but a kill by UCLA’s Brynn Murphy tied the game at 23. A see-saw battle between the two squads stayed even at 28 until two consecutive points by the Bruins — highlighted by Gira Wright’s game winning block — gave them the win. Senior Lindsay Gloss led the inef fective Oregon offense with 14 kills while freshman Dariam Acevedo continued her successful ways with eight kills of her own. The Ducks managed only a .109 hitting percentage, while the Bruins responded with 50 kills and 43 as sists. The Ducks had just 35 kills and 31 assists. Still, head coach Carl Ferreira said he was happy with Oregon’s effort. “I'm very pleased with how we played in the first game,” he said. “We came out and competed with the 13th-ranked team in the nation and we gave ourselves a chance to win. That’s what we want.” The main concern to the Ducks was the team’s inability to stay com petitive to the end. Wliile Oregon’s kills increased from 13 in game 1 to 16 in game 2, its attack errors also rose from seven to nine. “Toward the end of game 2 and in game 3 we got away from what was working for us,” Ferreira said. “We need to sustain that level throughout.” Against the Trojans (14-0, 8-0), USG dominated for an easy sweep (30-15,30-14,30-15). With the win, USG stayed perfect and in first place in the Pac-10 while Oregon stays in the cellar, one win behind ninth-place Oregon State. Freshman Jaclyn Jones led the Ducks with eight kills and a .462 hit ting percentage, but as a team, Oregon managed just 24 kills and an .011 per centage. On the flip side, USG had 53 kills and hit .457 for the match. The Ducks failed to hit above .100 in any single set and were off-target in game 3. Whereas the Trojans had 14 kills with just four errors in 30 at tempts in the final set, Oregon com mitted 11 errors in 32 attempts while notching just eight kills. The Ducks made it hard for them selves from the service line, failing to earn an ace while committing eight er rors, just one night after recording five aces and 13 errors against UGLA. On the individual side, USG’s April Ross and Keao Burdine both had 10 kills while Tracy Lindquist led the team with 26 assists. After suffering a hard-luck loss to UGLA and being dominated by USG, the Ducks come back to McArthur Court on Thursday night for a game with Arizona starting at 7 p.m. Ari zona State visits on Friday.

The Ducks will use their third dif ferent lineup in as many tourna ments. Senior co-captains John Ellis and Chris Carnahan will once again hold the top spots for the Ducks. Ju nior Jimmy White, a graduate of South Eugene High School, will make his fall debut in the No. 3 spot. The No. 4 spot belongs to junior Mike Sica, while freshman Justin St. Clair will hold down the No. 5 spot. “After the two seniors, we’ve got six or seven guys competing for three spots,” said Oregon head coach Steve Nosier. “Jimmy (White) had a good showing in qualifying, so now he’ll get a chance to show what he can do in a tournament.” The tournament is being played on a course designed in 1927 by leg endary designer Alister MacKenzie, who has over 100 course designs to his credit. Some of MacKenzie’s most notable courses include Cypress Point in Pebble Beach, Calif., Royal Melbourne in Melbourne, Australia and Augusta National, home of the masters, in Augusta, Ga. The Ducks have finished in the top 10 in eight consecutive regular season tournaments dating back to last season. This season, the Ducks had a seventh place finish in the Windon Memorial Classic in Glen view, 111., and a sixth-place finish in the Club Grove Intercollegiate in Somis, Calif. The course is a par-71, measuring 6,585 yards. Teams will play 36 holes today and finish with 18 Tuesday. Jon Roetman is a freelance writer for the Emerald. GOT A STOltY IDEA?
