UO Hockey drops a pair against Trojans
The Ducks are overmatched
as they fell 9-3 and 11 -1 to
the defending Pac-8 champs
Club hockey

If hockey games didn’t include a
second period, the Oregon Ducks
would be quite the force.
Unfortunately for the Oregon Club
Sports hockey team, second periods
exist, and lately they’ve been any
thing but a force.
The Ducks (5-12 overall, 4-6 Pa
cific-8 Conference) dropped a pair of
games to the USC Trojans over the
weekend, both of which were close
until the second period.
“Intermission kills us,” said Ore
gon head coach Garreth MacDonald.
“It’s the same old story.”
Saturday, the Ducks fell to the
three-time defending Pac-8 champs,
11-1. The game was close early as the
Trojans led 2-0 until the 13th minute
of the second period. Then, a power
play goal by Trojan forward Nick
Nickson started a string of four goals
in five minutes. Duck forward Doug
Washburn stopped the run with the
Ducks’ only goal of the game in the
19th minute, only to have Trojan for
ward Raffie Kalajian answer 30 sec
onds later, making it 7-1.
Nickson and Kalajian finished
with four goals apiece.
“We can’t put 60 minutes togeth
er,” Duck assistant captain Gory
Howard said. “We play a good 20, but
unfortunately there’s 60 minutes in
a hockey game.”
Penalties once again were an
Achilles heel for the Ducks. Fourteen
penalties led to three power-play
goals for the Trojans, all in a three
minute span in the second period.
“Penalties killed us both games,”
Howard said. “It’s the story of the
season.”
The Ducks surrendered four pow
er-play goals Friday in a 9-3 loss in
which they were outscored 6-0 in
the second period.
The game started promising for
the Ducks as they jumped out in
front 1-0 on forward Nathan Vogel’s
putback with two minutes gone by.
The lead was short-lived however, as
Trojan defenseman Scott Sargent
answered from the left wing a
minute later.
The Ducks found themselves
down 2-1 with 12 minutes remaining
in the second period when a contro
"USC's a better team.
They have little tricks
to get under your
skin and they don't
get caught"

captain
versial call swung momentum in fa
vor of the Trojans. Duck forward
Steven Budke fired a shot straight on
that appeared to go in the net and
bounce back out off of the padding.
The officials said the shot missed
high and bounced off the top post.
“You can distinctly hear if a puck
hits the post,” MacDonald said. “You
would have heard a tink.”
Two minutes later, Kalajian scored
the second goal of his eventual hat
trick and the Trojans were off and
running.
Howard and assistant captain
Michael Tornabene added power
play goals for the Ducks in the third
period.
The game marked the first action
for newly acquired freshman goalie
David Martin, who allowed seven
goals and finished with 18 saves be
fore removing himself during the
17th minute of the second period.
“I was looking for a better outing,”
Martin said.
MacDonald said that Martin was
n’t the one to blame for the goals that
were scored while he was in the net,
due to the majority being power-play
goals and putbacks.
“I don’t think any of the goals were
(Martin’s) fault,” MacDonald said.
“The defense hung him out to dry.”
Martin finished with 26 saves

both games. It's the

Saturday.
“USG’s a better team,” Duck cap
tain Dan Rusler said. “They have lit
tle tricks to get under your skin and
they don’t get caught.”
Saturday’s game was stopped for
10 minutes late in the third period
when Kalajian was smashed by Duck
center Nathan King in front of the
Duck bench. It took several minutes
for Kalajian to pull himself together,
but when he did, officials mistakenly
ejected Duck center Josh Friedman
for intent to injure.
The Ducks play at home this
weekend against Palmer West. Both
games start at 8 p.m.

boards were shaking, and it was an
awesome atmosphere. The fans
were a huge part in us coming
back. They were really the sixth
man on the court for us.”
The Ducks had done everything
they could do — and their crowd
let them know. But after Powell’s
free throws, Oregon and its fans
suffered the most gut-wrenching
loss of the season.
“Our fans are great every single
night we are home,” Oregon head
coach Bev Smith said. “Our play
ers talked about that going into
this game, about how they make a
difference, and they are what
women’s basketball here at Ore
gon is all about.”
The 5,253 fans who jammed
McArthur Court to see a game, got
one. And after it was over, some of
the Ducks headed toward the lock
er room with their heads down. But
the fans stayed to give their team a
standing ovation for a valiant effort.
“They love games like this, and
they love to see people spilling
their guts on the floor for Oregon,”
Smith said. “And that is what our
players did tonight. They gave
everything they had.”

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 13). You'll defi
nitely have enough to keep you busy this
year. Your challenge is to balance work with
play. If you cut out the play, you might think
you'll make more money, but that's not a
sure bet. Stay healthy! Schedule more fun!
To get the advantage, check the day’s rating:
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) _ Today is a 7 _
Graciously accept a gift that's offered, and
put it to good use. Also get something that
will help you stay on schedule. Don't resist
structure; it can help you win.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) _ Today is an 8 _
Don't expect too much, even if you're right.
It'll take a while to convince a person who
isn't really listening. Show rather than tell.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) _ Today is a 6 _
Put off a big decision until tomorrow or the
next day. Your perfect path should be obvi
ous by then, and it'll look like fun, not pun
ishment.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) _ Today is a 7 _
Quit trying to ignore something you've been
worrying about. Instead, concentrate on it so
that you'll know what questions to ask. Once
you ve got that figured out, answers are easy
to find.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) _ Today is a 6 _ A per
son who seems to have been making your life
more difficult may actually be helping.
Stranger things have happened. He or she
could lead you to an important new friend.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) _ Today is a 9 _
Knowing you can't be in two places at the
same time, plan ahead. Make sure a demand
ing person's needs will be met so that you
can take care of your own.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) _ Today is a 7 _
Limited funds eliminate one option but
inspire you to investigate another. You may
wind up in a much better place, so don't
complain.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) _ Today is a 7 _
If you and your partner fight, you'll get
nowhere. If you join forces, you'll win. It's
not easy, but it's the only way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) _ Today is a
6 _ You're powerful, wise and good-looking,
but you can't do everything. Excuse yourself
from complications tonight, and relax with an
interesting friend.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) _ Today is an
8 _ A friend who's shoving you rather annoy
ingly has your best interests at heart. She
won't go for your standard excuses, so you
might as well forget them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) _ Today is a 5 _
Sometimes you have to just say "no," “time
out," "not now." If your plate's getting too full,
you should do that. Nobody else can do it for
you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) _ Today is a 7 _
The more you learn, the more you'll under
stand why other people act the way they do.
Meanwhile, don't take off on a wild goose
chase.
