The team's 10th place finish — combined with a fifth place finish at the Edan Ih lanfeldt Invitational in Sammamish, Wash., and the Ducks' win at the lady Vandal Fall Invitational in Moscow, Idaho — gives Oregon three top-10s in as many tournaments. "We're just playing solid golf," Oregon coach Shannon Rouillard said. "We're striking the ball very well. We could probably putt a little better, but we are making some good birdies." The Ducks played sUong against the high-powered tournament field. Sophomore Therese Wenslow was tied for 29th after posting a first round 1-over 73. Freshman Kimberly McCready and junior Johnna Nealy were tied for 40th at 2-over 74. Sophomore Erin Andrews was tied for 46th at 3-over 75.

Wenslow was tied for 48th at 150, following her second-round 77. "We have pulled away from some teams that were behind us," said Rouillard. "And for the second straight day, we played well on a tough golf course and against diffi cult competition." The final round of the Stanford/Pepsi Intercollegiate saw Andrews shine. She shot a career low 2-under par 70 on Sunday to move into a tie for 20th at 2-over par 218. It marked the third straight top 20 finish for Andrews. "That's just a remarkable accom plishment in this field," Rouillard said of Andrew's play. "This field is second to none in strength of com petition." As a team, the Ducks slipped a bit, firing a final round 300 to finish with a team score of 892. McCready had her third-straight 74 and fin ished tied for 33rd at 6-over 222.

Harrington, Detroit flat against Cowboys Detroit falls to 1-5 after a 31-point loss at the hands of Dallas on Sunday By Jean-Jacques Taylor The Dallas Morning News (KRT) DETROIT — Quarterback Quincy Carter spent the fourth quarter stand ing on the sideline, hands on hips, wearing a visor and laughing with teammates. It was a unique experience. After all, Carter had never started a blowout victory for the Dallas Cowboys. Now, he has. Carter threw a career-high three touchdown passes — all to Terry Glenn — and the defense did not al low a touchdown as the Cowboys rolled past Detroit, 38-7, to win their fifth consecutive game before a crowd of 61,160 at Ford Field. Troy Hambrick lost a fumble for the first time in 103 carries this sea son, and comerback Dre Bly returned it 67 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 Lions lead with 8:23 left in the first quarter. Then the Cowboys took a timeout on second-and-10 from their own 22 with 8:11 left in the first quarter be cause one of their receivers lined up wrong. Carter didn't go to the sideline. Instead, he yelled at his teammates. "I told them that we had to get fo cused because this was not the way to start a football game you're trying to win," Carter said. "We had to pick it up, or we were going to lose this game." Five plays later, Carter tossed a perfect 20-yard pass between two defenders to Glenn, who made a diving catch in the back of the end zone, to tie the score at 7-7. Detroit unsuccessfully challenged the play. Dallas took its first lead, 14-7, on its next possession when Glenn made a diving 19-yard catch in the end zone with 11:31 left in the half. Then Detroit quarterback Joey Harrington threw an interception that linebacker Dexter Coakley re turned to the Lions 9. Carter needed one play to find Glenn in the end zone for his third touchdown and a 21-7 lead. Carter, who's supposed to be fea tured in Sports Illustrated next week, completed 18 of 25 passes for 191 yards. "The way Quincy was throwing the ball, the accuracy, the play-call ing and the fact that he was so confi dent out there that was Troy Aikman stuff," Jones said. (c) 2003, The Dallas Morning News.
