One by one, the three Oregon vol
leyball seniors were introduced to the
McArthur Court crowd Friday night,
knowing it would be their last chance
to wear the Duck uniform.
All they wanted was a win, a last
opportunity to show the 1,107 in at
tendance how cohesive of a unit this
year’s squad has become.
Against Washington, it didn’t
come. And it wasn’t even close.
The Huskies (17-10 overall, 9-9
Pacific-10 Conference) took the
match in three straight sets (30-18,
30-18,30-19). For the Ducks, it was
their final match of the season, a year
that produced just one conference
victory and 11 wins overall.
“Yeah, it was disappointing,” fresh
man Jodi Bell said. “I really wanted
to pull through for the seniors. We did
what we could, but it just wasn’t
enough tonight.”
Amanda Porter, Oregon senior No.
1, had just one kill, the final one in
her two-year career at Oregon after
transferring from Idaho. She ended
the season with 79 kills and 18 digs.
Lindsay Closs, Oregon senior No.
2, had a slightly more successful
night, earning six kills and one serv
ice ace. Closs was magnetic as Ore
gon’s offensive star this season, and
shone brightly with 405 kills and 40
service aces, both team highs.
Sydney Chute, Oregon senior No.
3 and the only Duck to play for four
seasons at Oregon, had a fine offen
sive night, pitching in with five kills
and 13 assists. She ended the year
with 328 assists.

Oregon seniors (from left) Lindsay Closs, Sydney Chute and Amanda Porter
celebrated their last game as Ducks on Friday night with a loss to Washington.
“They’ve turned the program
around, basically,” head coach Carl
Ferreira said. “When I took over the
program, the seniors couldn’t wait
to leave. And now, I think we’re
starting a tradition of the seniors
giving back.”
Sophomore Lauren Westendorf
led the Ducks against Washington
with 10 kills, while Closs’ six kills
were good for second on the team.
However, statistics do not lie, evi
denced by Paige Benjamin’s 20 kills
for the Huskies, followed up by San
ja Tomasevic’s 17. As a team, the
Huskies committed just four attack
errors and hit for an even .500 at
tack percentage.
“It’s a pretty tough way to end the
season,” Ferreira said. “If you had to
write your script for your season-fi
nale on senior night, I’d have a differ
ent way I’d write it.”
Oregon was far-below the Huskies
in offensive consistency, recording 31
kills to Washington’s 52, andhittingfor
a .070 percentage. The only category
Oregon was superior in was service er
rors, where the Huskies racked up 14
compared to the Ducks’ four.
“Definitely disappointing,” Westen
dorf said about the end to Oregon’s sea
son. “Definitely a disappointing way to

end. But I can’t help but shed light on
the fact of how much we grew, espe
cially in the second half of Pac-10
(play). We grew so much, more than I
think I’ve seen this program grow in a
year and a half.”
Both Ferreira and Westendorf al
luded to the thought that Oregon
may have “hit the wall” in the past
two weeks of the season in matches
against the Arizona and Washington
schools.
For all of Oregon’s offensive woes,
the Ducks did strike back late in
game 3, even though it was technical
ly, and in reality, out of reach.
Down 24-11, Oregon went on a
three-point run, highlighted by two
Gloss kills.
Washington came back on a kill by
Tomasevic, but the Ducks responded
with four-more. A service error by
Washington’s Kara Bjorklund began it,
followed by Gloss’ final collegiate kill.
Beautifully, Gloss and Porter then
teamed for a block, bringing the Ore
gon fans to their feet.
Finally, freshman Dariam Aceve
do’s service ace brought the score to
26-18, but the game was too far out
of Oregon’s reach.
