Oregon falls hard to Washington State Penalties hurt the Ducks as they get shut out by the Cougars at home Hockey Jon Roetman Freelance Sports Reporter Knowing what his team is capable of, Oregon Club Ice Hockey head coach Garreth MacDonald didn’t sugarcoat what he thought of his team’s performance Friday. “We just got outplayed,” MacDon ald said of the Ducks’ 6-0 home loss to Washington State. The Ducks fell to 5-9 on the sea son but still have a winning record (4-3) in Paeifie-8 Conference play. The Cougars improved to 6-5,1-1 in the Pac-8. Penalties played a large role in the demise of the Ducks. They were whistled for 10 penalties, leading to seven power-play opportunities for the Cougars, two of which they con verted. MacDonald said the need to use special penalty killing lines in terfered with the Ducks’ offensive flow, as they were outshot 43-21. “We weren’t taking shots,” Mac Donald said. “You can’t win a game getting outshot 2-to-l.” Duck goalie Joe Fagliano, who fin ished with 37 saves, also voiced his displeasure, as he faced twice as many shots as his counterpart, Cougar goalie Stu Palmer. “(Penalties) get me frustrated,” Fagliano said. “(The Cougars) were just dominating the game.” The Cougars took a 2-0 lead on Dane Robertson’s power-play goal just after the 14-minute mark of the "Sometimes hitting can change the momentum of the game" Dan Rusler Duck captain first period. Ryan Lundrigan’s one timer from the slot at the eight minute mark of the second period made it 3-0, and a goal from Chris Detzel three minutes later gave the Cougars a comfortable 4-0 lead. The Ducks’ scoring chances were few, but they were unable to capitalize when one arose. During a five-minute stretch in the second period, the Ducks had three op portunities go awry. During the fourth minute, assistant captain Michael Tornabene escaped with the puck from a pack of defenders just outside the right faceoff circle in the Cougar defensive zone. Tornabene fired a shot from about 15 feet, but a kick save by Palmer kept the Cougar lead at 2-0. Just after the six-minute mark, a po tential breakaway by Steven Bud ke was nullified when Cougar de fenseman J.J. Powell and Duck defenseman Whit Ackerman were whistled for a double minor. Just after the eight-minute mark, the Ducks had a four-on-one break, but Tornabene’s shot from the left wing missed wide to the right. Despite playing from behind the entire game, the Ducks stayed ag gressive, continuously laying Cougar players out on the ice. “Sometimes hitting can change the momentum of the game,” Duck captain Dan Rusler said. The two teams played a late game Saturday night. It was Oregon’s final game until after winter break, when it will resume play Jan. 10 against USC. The Ducks have not beaten the Trojans since the creation of the Pac-8 in 1995. jon Roetman is a freelance writer for the Emerald. Women's continued from page 15A with barely more than a minute left. That sent a majority of those in attendance at the Rose Garden to their feet and Oregon to its second straight victory. “Everything was clicking, and before we knew it, we were back in it,” Ganes said of Oregon’s first victory over a ranked opponent this season. After a first half in which the Ducks shot just 32 percent from the field and connected on just one 3-pointer, Oregon was a different team in the second stanza. The Ducks shot 61 percent in the sec ond half, and turned the ball over just five times. Oregon had turned the ball over just three times in the first half but was not able to capitalize on its opportunities. “That was a real key,” Oregon head coach Bev Smith said about the team’s turnovers. “For an overall game, that was tremendous. That speaks to the work we focused on in the last few days of practice. Smith admitted the Ducks had a “number of things” they could have dis cussed in the locker room at the half, in cluding an offense that was “not execut ing, but a defense that was doing OK.” Sophomore Brandi Davis, who scored a season-high 19 points Thurs day against Portland, played just 18 minutes against the Cougars, including just four in the second half en route to three points on the night. BYU head coach Jeff Judkins, clearly disappointed with the loss, suggested the Ducks may have played better without Williams, who was suspended earlier this week, because the Ducks had to find of fensive output from other sources. Overall, he was impressed with Ore gon’s play. “Oregon is a very good team,” Judkins said. “They did a good job of making it simple. Good teams understand what they have to do. But it’s very hard to get your team believing in one another.” Aside from their third win of the sea son, what the Ducks get from the victo ry is far more moral than physical. “We just proved something to our selves tonight,” Ganes said. Said Shreve: “We’re coming together as a team well right now.” Contact the sports reporter at hankhager@dailyemerald.com. Post continued from page 16A had the luxury of visiting the foul line much more often than usual. Oregon was 16 of-23 on the night. Oregon was 7-of-9 in the second half and 69.6 percent overall from the free-throw line. “BYU is a very physical team, and because of that, you have to be aggressive,” Smith said. “And from driv ing to the boards and with fadeaways, you will be re warded for that, and I think we did a great job of that in the second half.” Oregon was solid in its ball handling, turning over the ball three times in the first half and eight times overall. It was a large improvement for the Ducks, who turned over the ball 17 times against Port land in their last game. “In the past, I think we have just been a little bit careless with the ball,” Kraayeveld said. “And tonight, we just took care of the ball. Collectively we played better as a team, and that helps with the turnovers.” Through it all, Oregon’s post players were able to carry the load and execute when needed.
