Sophomore Andrea Valadez will look to provide a hand in Oregon’s strong front line after
missing last year due to a severe knee sprain encountered in preseason practice.

underneath our belts."
llie Ducks are a team that needs to
learn how to win again after a build
ing season in 2002. For an Oregon
team that only accumulated two wins
overall despite playing the third
toughest schedule nationally — with
five opponents being ranked top-10
at one point in the season — the
Ducks are ready to switch sides.
"The downside to last year was the
record," Oregon head coach Bill Stef
fen said. 'The upside was all these
people got so many minutes against
basically three No. 1 teams in the
country. That was their experience and
learning how to play at a top level.
"Now we're expecting them not
just to compete at that level, which
they did last year, but to win at that
level. So that's part of their realiza
tion; one of the things in their per
sonality is we know now we want to
win, so that's an important step for
their progress."
And Oregon has had no hesitation
thus far in jumping out to a 5-0 start,
the best ever in the program's history.
The Ducks are a young team this
year with only two seniors and sev
en newcomers, but that doesn't
mean they lack experience. Of Ore
gon's 10 sophomores, all but two
started at some point last year, with
midfielder Cristan 1 liga and defend
er Carlie Ashcraft starting 18 and 15
games, respectively.
"We have a really deep team this
year," Ashcraft said. "We have a lot
of people that played a lot of min
utes last year, so we have a lot of ex
perience coming in even though we
are young."
Oregon is also looking to prove it
self to the conference after being
ranked last in the preseason media
poll to begin the 2003 season. And
for a program that was established in
1996 and never had a winning sea
son, Oregon wants the respect.
"We want to show that we belong
and that we can compete and do
well," Ashcraft said. "And we can, we
have enough skill on this team and
heart to do it."
With Garbin — who took nine
shots in her first game back to break
the school record, and as a fresh
man made four game-winning
shots in her first five games — back
on the field, this could be the sea
son for the Ducks to say "Aloha" to
another losing season.
"It's awesome, I love it," Ashcraft said
on having Garbin back, there's noth
ing like watching her run full speed at a
defender with die ball on her foot.
We're excited to have her back."
