The Ducks flocked together again
this weekend.
Oregon’s women’s cross country
team finished 18th at the Pre-National
meet on Saturday. The Ducks’ five
scoring runners all finished within one
minute of each other, while Oregon
edged out three top-40 teams.
“I thought we competed hard and
competed well,” Oregon head coach
Tom Heinonen said.
Oregon senior Carrie Zografos was
the top finisher for the Ducks, run
ning the course in 21 minutes and
35 seconds and finishing 53rd over
all. Zografos has finished first for the
Ducks in both of the races she has
run this season.
Junior Laura Harmon finished
second for the Ducks, just behind
Zografos. Harmon took 63rd overall,
with a time of 21:41.
Junior Eri Macdonald finished
112th overall and third for the
Ducks, with a time of 22:09, and jun
ior Magdalena Sandoval ran the
course in 22:14, finishing fourth for
the Ducks and 122nd overall. Senior
Erinn Gulbrandsen finished fifth for
the Ducks, 153rd overall, with a time

and they weren’t bad chances, but
we just couldn’t put them away.”
Senior goalkeeper Sarah Peters
earned nine saves against the Car
dinal. And the Ducks’ only shot
came from sophomore defender
Dara Wone.
Other statistics did not favor
Oregon, either, as Stanford took
five corner kicks to Oregon’s zero
and the Ducks racked up 14 fouls to
the Cardinal’s 12.
The Ducks went head to head
with another Bay Area team over
the weekend where they faced No.
11 Cal on Friday.
It was Oregon’s eighth top-25 op
ponent this season and the Ducks
had more luck than they did with
Stanford, holding Cal scoreless for
most of the game.
Cal finally broke loose in the
79th minute when Kassie Doubca
va scored from 15 yards out. The
Golden Bears scored again with
three minutes left in the game en
route to a 2-0 win.
“We played well in moments,”
Steffen said. “We played very hard,
and our effort was good, but we were
unlucky not to convert on the early
chances, and we put pressure on
ourselves when we don’t convert.
“It’s also frustrating for the de
fense in that we battle hard and put
ourselves in position to win, but we
don’t win. They worked hard and
gave a good effort, and it’s a shame
— unfortunately that’s how a lot of
our games have been this year.”
Oregon was outplayed in all statis
tical categories, with Gal dominating
in shots, 19-6, and comer kicks, 6-0.
Both teams had seven fouls.
Peters recorded nine saves for
Oregon, her second-most this sea
son. On offense, senior Sarah
Denner and freshman Garlie
Ashcraft paced Oregon with two
shots, and single shots came from
senior Amanda Orand and fresh

“Carrie and Laura were solid from
start to finish,” Heinonen said. “They
moved up in the second half and fin
ished strongly. Eri ran her best cross
country race ever, and Magdalena
hung on given how little running she’s
been able to do in the past two weeks.
Erinn ran well throughout the race for
the second meet in a row — that will
help us for later.”
The Ducks stayed close together in
the early part of the race, with the top
three only two seconds apart at the
mid-point — Harmon (10:46), Zo
grafos (10:47) and Sandoval (10:49).
Macdonald (10:57) and Gulbrandsen
(11:03) followed close behind.
In the second half of the race, the
Ducks’ top three runners kept their
pace up. Zografos ran only one sec
ond slower on the second half, while
Harmon only added five seconds and
Macdonald added 15.
Redshirt junior Alicia Snyder
Garlson finished 191st overall, and
sixth for the Ducks, in 23:02. Fresh
man Nicole Feest finished seventh
for the Ducks, and 219th overall,
running the course in 23:07.
Florida State, ranked 31st in the
nation, finished 19th at the meet
with 505 points, while 29th-ranked
Dartmouth finished 20th with 509
points. Idaho, ranked 37th national
ly, finished 24th with 552 points.
Oregon had 503 points.
“We helped ourselves by beating
Florida State and Dartmouth. The
race was as big as nationals in num
bers and as important as nationals in
quality, and we handled the pressure
well,” Heinonen said.
Pacific-10 Conference power
Stanford, ranked second nationally,
won the race with 57 points. The top
four Cardinal finishers placed sec
ond, third, fourth and ninth. The
first-place runner was Florida State’s
Vicky Gill, who ran the course in 19
minutes and 55 seconds.
Saturday, the men’s and women’s
cross country teams send squads to
Corvallis for the Beaver Classic. Ore
gon will rest its top runners for the
Pac-10 Championships on Nov. 2.

Ducks fail top-competition
test at Pepsi Intercollegiate

Overwhelmed by talented
squads, the Oregon women’s golf
team had a rough weekend at the
home of the Cardinal.
The Ducks finished 17 th at the
Stanford Pepsi Intercollegiate at the
Stanford Golf Course in Palo Alto,
Calif. The Ducks carded a three-day
total of 963, in an outing that Oregon
head coach Shannon Rouillard said
was one of the toughest tournaments
the Ducks will play in all year.
“(Stanford) always has a great
field,” Rouillard said. “And it always
is a great tournament.”
The Ducks finished 78 strokes be
hind tournament winner California,
which posted a 21-over par 885.
Vanderbilt finished in second place
at 887, followed by Washington at
890. The three-day tournament had
a different leader at the end of each
day. UCLA had a two-stroke lead af
ter Friday’s first round, while the
Huskies led by two strokes after the
second round Saturday. The Ducks
were in a tie for 12th place after the
first round, but fell into last place
Saturday, where they would finish
the tournament.
Arizona true freshman Erica Blas
berg won individual honors with a 5
under 211. After a 1-over-par first
round, Blasberg fired consecutive
69’s, making her the only golfer to
finish under par. New Mexico State
senior Alena Sharp finished second
with an even-par 216.
Sophomore Johnna Nealy and
true freshman Michelle Timpani
were the only Ducks to shoot under
80 in Sunday’s final round. Nealy fin
ished in a tie for 39th, as her final
round 78 put her at 231. Timpani
also fired a 78 on Sunday, putting
her at 246.
“Johnna and Michelle came
through with solid (final) rounds,”
Rouillard said. “It’s too bad we didn’t
have two more to go with them.”
True freshman Therese Wenslow,
who has set two Oregon records this
year, finished in a tie for 69th after a
final round 83 put her at 240. Rouil
lard said Wenslow had been strug
gling with her putting throughout
the week.
The Ducks’ next tournament is
the Hawaii Fall Golf Classic Oct. 29
30 in Kapolei, Hawaii.

percentile of their ability, there's
nothing I can be disappointed
about,” Oregon head coach Carl
Ferreira said. “The teams in the
Pac-10 are not going to come to us,
we are going to have to come to
them. And tonight we came to the
21 st-ranked team in the nation.”
“I feel like in this match we came
out stronger than we’ve ever been
and more consistent than we’ve
ever been,” sophomore Lauren Wes
tendorf said. “We played pretty con
sistently in our game through the
first four games. We just have to do
it in the end.”
Oregon extended its hot streak
from the service line, hitting eight
aces, including a team-high three
from Gloss.
Acevedo led the team with a ca
reer-high 23 kills, while freshman
Jaclyn Jones started in her first Pac
10 match and contributed with 14
kills and eight digs. Freshman Jodi
Bell also contributed with 36 assists
and a career-high 20 digs.
Each of the first three games re
quired extra time as a win must come
with a lead of at least two points.
Tied at 29 in game 1, Gloss’ serv
ice ace put the Ducks ahead and
freshman Kelly Russell sealed the
win with a powerful kill.
Arizona State, on the strength of
Julia Leddy’s kill, nipped the Ducks
31-29 in game 2 to tie the match.
In game 3, Oregon was able to tie
the game at 31 on a net error by the
Sun Devils, and again at 32 on a
Gloss kill.
