Intercollegiate tournament

The Oregon women's golf team
continued its impressive start to the
2003-04 season.
Against
many of the
nation's top
Ci O L_ F“ teams, the
- Ducks did
something
that has not been accomplished in
nearly a decade. They secured a top
10 finish at the Stanford/Pepsi Inter
collegiate this weekend, held at the
6,107-yard, par-72 Stanford Golf
Course in Stanford, Calif. 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.
Nealy improved on her season low
round of 74, fired in the first round
of the Stanford/Pepsi Intercollegiate;
by posting £n even-par 72 on Satur
day. Nealy was tied for 28th at 2-over
146. Andrews had a second round
73, while McCready added a 74 —
matching her season low that she set
on Friday — that left both golfers tied
for 34th at 4-over 138. 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.
Nealy closed with a final-round 78
and was tied for 42 at 8-over 224.
Therese Wenslow shot a 79 and fin
ished in a tie for 57th at 13-over
229. Michelle Timpani fired an 84
79-78 to finish in a tie for 84th.
Duke took home the title with a
score of 845, followed by Washing
ton at 850, No.5 UCLA at 859, No. 6
California at 869 and No. 4 New
Mexico finishing fifth with an 875.

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.

lated eight shots at Husky Soccer Field
in Seatde. In Friday's matchup, Wash
ington State (5-8-1,1 -2-1) also earned
its first conference win at the hands of

show with the spotlight on senior
Rachel Rodrick.
After a slow first half, Rodrick scored
the first goal of the game off a penalty
kick at 63:40. Oregon senior Lindsey
Werdell was given a red card after clip
ping forward Shelby Brownfield, re
sulting in the penalty kick.
Rodrick sealed the deal at 88:59 off
a header from a cross by forward
Nicole Wilcox.
"Ihis win was so important for us,"
Rodrick said Friday. "We were at a
point that we couldn't lose anymore.
We were losing close games to hard
teams, so it feels good to go out and
win 2-0 in conference."
