up in the second installment
of this season’s Civil War

There’s just something about Hal
loween and the Oregon State
Beavers that fits so well for the Ore
gon volleyball team.
Maybe Oregon State’s orange and
black isn’t a coincidence after all.
The Ducks (10-15 overall, 0-11
Pacific-10 Conference) and
Beavers will square off tonight at
Gill Coliseum in a post-Halloween
match that is sure to bring out the
taunts and treats.
The match — slated to start at 7
p.m. — is the second and final time
this season the two teams will meet.
The Beavers took the first match in
a sweep early in October.
“We’ve beaten the Beavers in

looking forward to it,” senior Syd

weekend (against California) we
didn’t win, but we came really close
to it.”
There is no love lost between
the two Oregon teams, much like
every Civil War contest played be
tween Oregon and Oregon State
(7-13, 2-9).
It is a series that has favored
Oregon State recently, although
the Ducks lead the all-time series,
52-33-1. The Beavers have won
the last three contests and five of
the last six.

Oregon came close last season at
Gill in a four-game loss, taking the
second set, 30-23, before bowing out.
"If we just apply our
system all the way
around, we shouldn't
have a problem."

“I definitely don’t like the
Beavers,” said Chute, regarding her
final Civil War contest. “It’s a great
game, we get really fired up to play
them, and we have a great time so
I’m looking forward to it.”
A season after finishing 17-12
overall and 10-8 in Pae-10 play, the
Beavers have fallen on hard times.
Their 2-9 conference record is
ninth-best in the conference, with
the team’s only victories coming
against the Ducks and California.
Oregon State is led by senior
Megan McMillan, who is tops on the
team with 244 kills, while sopho
more Allison Lawrence is proving
youth can be infectious with 236
kills.
The Beavers do have leadership
in the form of Laura Collins, ranked
second in the Pac-10 with 918 as
sists. In addition, senior Nikki Neu
berger leads the Pac-10 in digs and
is solid defensively.
“If we just apply our system all
the way around, we shouldn’t have
a problem,” Oregon senior Lindsay
Closs said.
Oregon is looking to end a 32
mateh losing streak in conference
play, a stretch that dates back to
2000. Since the Ducks’ last victory,
Oregon has taken just one set in
three matches against the Beavers.

same time, so getting a good, con
sistent race from everyone is the
main goal,” Zografos said.
“Going into this race, we’ve been
as healthy as any Oregon team has
ever been at this point of the sea
son,” Heinonen said.
In last year’s Pac-10 Champi
onships, the Ducks finished eighth
as a team, and Zografos led the
squad, finishing 35th.
Zografos and senior Erinn Gul
brandsen lead the pack of eight
runners the Ducks are sending this
year. Joining them are Sandoval,
redshirt juniors Alicia Snyder-Carl
son and Eri Macdonald, junior Lau
ra Harmon, and true freshmen
Nicole Feest and Eleanor Gordon.
“(Feest and Gordon) will be
called on to be major players for
us next year, and this will help
them continue to progress,”
Heinonen said.
For now, both teams just want to
run well Saturday.
“We need to focus on the way we
need to run, and it will take care of
itself,” Hartmann said.
