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

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 Oregon men’s golf team will
face an uphill battle as it competes in
the talent-laden Alister MacKenzie
Invitational, starting today at the
r
Meadow Club in Fairfax, Calif.
The two-day tournament features
seven teams ranked in the top 50 in
the latest Golfweek/Sagarin poll.
UCLA leads the way at No. 8, along
with California-Irvine (No. 12),
Northwestern (No. 13), Washington
(No. 30), tournament host California
(No. 36) and Oregon State (No. 40).
The Ducks are ranked No. 53.
The tournament also features four
of the nation’s top individuals. Fres
no State senior Nick Watney is the
nation’s No. 1-ranked golfer in the
latest Golfweek/Sagarin poll. Other
ranked players include Northwest
ern junior Tom Johnson at No. 3,
along with Washington senior Con
ner Robbins (No. 4) and Stanford
senior Jim Seki (No. 7).
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.
