Fife and Clemens combined to go
23 of 27 for 265 yards and no inter
ceptions. Clemens led the way with
149 yards on 15 completions in 17
attempts, while Fife completed eight
of 10 attempts for 116 yards.
Fife ran for a score in the second
quarter for his fifth rushing touch
down this season. Whitehead and
Fife lead the team in aishing touch
downs with five each.
Oregon capped the scoring in the last
five minutes of the game with a one
yard rush by Rosario. The true freshman
scored his first Oregon touchdown on
a hand-off from Clemens.
"What makes (the first touch
down) feel even better is that we
won," Rosario said.
Linebacker Kevin Mitchell also ran
in a touchdown in the second quar
ter, picking off a pass by Stanford's
Chris Lewis on the 9-yard line for his
first interception of the season.
"They mixed up the formation,"
Stanford head coach Buddy Teevens
said of Oregon. "They looked like the
team that played against Michigan."
Stanford struggled offensively
during the game. Placekickei
Michael Sgroi missed his only field
goal attempt of the day with a 39
yard boot in the second quarter thai
went wide right.
The Cardinal converted five ol
their 16 third downs and failed tc
convert on three fourth-down at
tempts. Oregon was six for 13 or
third downs and two for two a>
fourth down.
The Ducks offense hummec
along after they made a few place
ment changes with their assistan
coaches on Saturday. Offensive lint
coach Neal Zoumboukos and re
ceivers coach Dan Ferrigno spent th«
game in the box, while offensive co
ordinator Andy Ludwig and gradu
ate assistant Aleki Pascua movec
down to the field.
"The communication was scv
much better (with Ludwig on the
field)," Clemens said. 'We had two
pairs of eyes on the defense, we had
one pair of eyes on the QR. Every
thing was critiqued. (Ludwig) knows
so much about every single position
that he can help out when he's down
on the field as opposed to when he's
in the box."
One aspect of the game Oregon
couldn't change was injuries.
Robin Knebel got a concussion in
the first play of Oregon's first drive
and sat out for the rest of the game.
Knebel and Mike DeLaGrange, who
left the game with a back spasm, will
return in practice this week, Bellotti
said.
Cornerback Steven Moore, who
injured his left ankle on a punt re
turn in the first quarter, returned to
the sideline on crutches. X-rays came
back clean, leaving Moore question
able for Oregon's next game.
In addition, wide receivers Sarnie
Parker and Marcus Maxwell were

plagued by shoulder problems.
Parker is probable for next week
when the Ducks visit Washington in
Seattle, but Maxwell is questionable.

won the game.
"Most of it was our defense," she
said. "(Domenique Lainez) played
terrific, and if she didn't make
those saves that she did, then it
* would have been so much harder
for us to score."
Oregon's defense never allowed
» Cal to gain an edge. Lainez, Ore
gon's starting goalkeeper, was cred
ited with five of her seven saves in
the first half amid eight Cal shots.
In one play, with 11 minutes to
go in the half, Cal's Katie Ratican
made a 35-yard run down the field
on a break away. When Ratican
took her shot, Lainez misjudged it
but managed to block the ball with
her feet. It was the second shutout
of Lainez's Oregon career.
"It was great for Dom to have a
big game," Steffen said.
The Ducks entered the second
half leading 1-0 but never settled.
Oregon took three of its 11 shots in
the half within the first eight min
utes. Cal goalkeeper Anna Key nev
er had a chance to relax. She
earned three saves that day.
Oregon converted its second
goal at the 82 minute, 25 second
mark. Garbin earned her second
assist of the game when she deliv
ered a 30-yard pass to redshirt
freshman Andrea Valadez. Valadez
dribbled the ball 14-yards, going
left to right, and clinched the
game-winning goal.
Garbin took seven shots in the
contest, tying her second-highest
output of the season. The redshirt
sophomore recorded eight shots
against Pacific on Sept. 12.
Among her on-field actions,
Garbin was given a yellow card in
the second half for punching the
ball out of the goalie's hands.
Her frustration continued to
swell throughout the game after
having her hair pulled, getting
knocked to the ground and having
her jersey stretched out. It was her
second yellow card of the season.
"We're never nice on the field,"
Garbin said. "Everybody says that
'oh yeah, we're one of the nicest
teams in the Pac-10.' No, that's not
true. I say we're the toughest. We
don't take any crap out there. It
doesn't matter if it's Cal Berkeley, a
really prestigious school. Whatever,
that doesn't mean anything to us."
Both schools competed as if it
was a rivalry game. In the 90
minute contest, Oregon accumu
lated 17 fouls compared to Cal's
15. In other statistics, the Ducks
outshot the Golden Bears 16 to 14,
and both teams recorded four cor
ner kicks.
It was the first time in program
history that Oregon defeated the
Golden Bears. Cal (7-6-3 overall,
2-4 Pac-10), which isn't ranked in
any major soccer poll for the first
time since 1999, earned its second
conference victory on Friday
against Oregon State.
"Cal is a great tournament team,
and this is great for our kids," Stef
fen said. "It was a very hard game,
but at the same time, I think both
teams respected each other."
Oregon split its weekend of con
ference play with the California
schools. Stanford came to Pape
Field on Friday night and defeated
the Ducks 3-1 in the contest.
"Bad first half, better second half,"
Steffen said. "We just kind of
watched people play the first half.
You have to work hard, play hard
and play well and we sort of watched
Stanford play the first half."
The No. 17-ranked Cardinal
scored two goals in the first 18
minutes from seniors Allyson Mar
quand and Natalie Spilger. Stan
ford's 18 shots in the contest more
than doubled the seven shots
recorded by the Ducks.
After another Cardinal goal at
58:46 by senior Brittany Oliveira,
the Ducks managed to prevent the
shutout in the 75th minute. Mid
fielder Erin Engelhardt converted
on a 15-yard run to score her first
career goal.
"I was just trying to help things
flow and do my part," Engelhardt
said on Friday. "I love to play.
Tonight felt good playing. (It was)
just flying, that's all; catching the
energy and running with it."
Lainez recorded five saves that
night, compared to Stanford's
Nicole Barnhart, who had two
saves. The game was not as rough
as Sunday's contest, but Stanford
did have eight fouls, with Oregon
recording seven.
Oregon heads out on the road
this weekend to face Arizona State
on Friday and Arizona on Sunday. It
will be the Ducks' final regular-sea
son road weekend.

sack on the third play of the stand,
but a facemask penalty put the Car
dinal back to the 1 -yard line.
Lemon tried another rush on the
fourth play of the stand, but he was
stopped by linebacker Kevin
Mitchell. Lewis then ran for no gain,
followed by yet another ineffective
run by Lemon.
That's when Tucker and Martin
decided to end Stanford's feeble at
tempt at a touchdown.
"We got the job done," defensive
end Quinn Dorsey said. "It was excit
ing. I've never seen that done before."
Bellotti called it a once-in-a-life
time experience, and the Oregon
players said it could very well be a
shot in the arm.
"We believed we could get the job
done down there," Dorsey said.
"That's a great building block. I hope
we can do it (the rest of the season)."
Overall, Stanford mustered 326
yards offensively, 225 of which
came from an aerial attack. Howev
er, a 71-yard pass from I,ewis to wide
receiver Mark Bradford in the sec
ond quarter accounted for a large
chunk of that yardage.
The Cardinal had the ball on the
Oregon 3-yard line at that point, but
Martin made his first major play of
the day with an interception on the
Ducks' 1-yard line.
"On that drive, 1 give that to Keith
I^wis," Martin said. "Keith gave us an
other chance. He stopped (Bradford)
on the 3-yard line and I happened to
get the pick on the one. That's a good
defensive effort right there."
Oregon's last shutout came last
season when the Ducks defeated
Portland State by 41. The Vikings,
however, are a Division 1-AA school
and were outmatched by Oregon's
defense that day.
The last time the Ducks held a Di
vision-I opponent scoreless came on
Nov. 21, 1992 in a 7-0 blanking of
Oregon State in Corvallis.
"If you shut out somebody in the
Pac-10 — it doesn't matter who it is —
it is an accomplishment," Bellotti said.
The Ducks all took pride in the
feat, but said it wasn't the biggest
achievement they will take away
from the game.
'1 think we take pride in it," cor
nerback justin Phinisee said. "But
we're more focused on us playing as
a whole."
Oregon did, however, lose a key
component of its secondary. Corner
back Steven Moore left the game in
the first half after a punt return.
He returned shortly thereafter to
the sideline with a boot and crutch
es. The senior has a sprained left an
kle, although X-rays showed nothing
abnormal. Early indications are that
he is questionable for Oregon's
game against Washington next week
in Seattle.
"f think, DB-wise, we're healthy
enough to where we can have some
body come in and defend," Phinisee
said. 'Steven is a great player. We
will miss him, but 1 think whoever
does come in for him will be ready."
