conferences in soccer.
"We have a lot to prove to our
selves," Lainez said. "We have put so
much time and effort into preparing
for the season. We definitely expea to
see results this year."
In 2002, the Ducks finished 1-7-1
in conference play, with the only vic
tory coming over Arizona at home.
And even though the Ducks finished
just above .500 in the preseason this
year, they feel this is their chance to
start over.
"The kids are ready for a second
season to begin," Oregon head coach
Bill Steffen said.
Steffen also stressed the importance
for his players to remain as focused as
possible and not get too excited about
it being the Civil War. But as expeaed,
the pressure is mounting.
"rhere's a lot of excitement," Lainez
said. "I'm sure when we start, it's just
going to be a battle out there. It's go
ing to be all emotion. It is the most
important game of our season so far."

Midfielder Carlie Ashcraft and the Ducks are looking for their first Civil War victory since
1999 when they play Oregon State today.
BLAZERS
continued from page 9A
Sacramento pulled away with 5:21
left and went up by 15 when Jabari
Smith sank a free throw.
Bonzi Wells led the Blazers with 20
points and former UCLA star Tracy
Murray finished with 14.
Predrag Stojakovic paced Sacra
mento with 18 points.
Overall, Sacramento grabbed 59 re
bounds, including 23 on the offensive
board. Portland, meanwhile, came up
with just 35 total rebounds. Zach Ran
dolph was able to grab eight, but no
other Blazer had more than four.
"I don't think we played very well
tonight," Cheeks said. "The big lineup
that we had out on the floor was not
conducive for us. I talked about it before,
about the lineup against Sacramento.
That's what the preseason is for. It tells
you what you can and can't do, particu
larly against a team like Sacramento. It is
a very good basketball team ."
Sacramento grabbed a four-point
lead at the end of the first quarter, but
failed to keep Portland at bay early on
in the second. The Trail Blazers got with
in one, 34-33, when Qyntel Woods
sank the second of two free throws.
Portland caught up two minutes
later, and the teams would trade
points heading into halftime.
"With the lineup that we started
with, it's not easy to get out and run,"
Cheeks said of the game's up-tempo
pace. "They are more accustomed to it
And they were without (Chris) Webber,
who is a big part of their team. That's
what they do. They get up down the
floor, they push the ball, they move.
They got a lot of points at the foul line. *
More specifically, the Kings posted
28 points from the charity stripe.
They did, however, shoot 42 times
from the foul line.
Webber didn't play for the Kings.
Portland's first-round draft choice in
the 2003 NBA draft, Travis Outlaw,
and veterans Derek Anderson, Robert
Pack and Ruben Patterson did not
play for the Trail Blazers.

going last year. She's a psychologist and
I think that's been really helpful to me,
being able to get counseling.
"Last year was the hardest year of
my life. 1 almost didn't make it to my
sophomore year. I almost quit, but
I'm glad I didn't."
After experiencing a sour end to her
freshman year, Russell was deter
mined to make the best of her sopho
more campaign. Being the only re
turning middle blocker on a team
with nine freshmen, Russell has ac
quired a new role, which is foreign to
most sophomores: Being a leader.
"It's weird because I'm basically the
same age as (the freshmen), I just
have more experience," Russell said.
"Last year, Lindsay Closs was a big
help to me. I thought, when I'm her
age, that's how I'm going to be with
the younger girls."
So far it's working just fine.
"She's been absolutely amazing,"
freshman middle blocker Kristen Bit
ter said. "I look up to Kelly for all my
examples. She helps me out in prac
tice every day. She's kind of my men
tor for middle blocking."
Entering tonight's match against
Washington State at McArthur
Court, Russell leads the Ducks in
kills, hitting percentage and points
per game. But more important than
excelling on the court is that Russell
is enjoying herself this year. Whether
it's going for a drive through the
mountains in her 1996 Subaru Im
preza, making a late night run to
Taco Bell or hanging out with close
friend Jaclyn Jones, Russell is enjoy
ing her life as a college student.
Not bad for wannabe soccer player.
