SOCCER
continued from page 7 A
matchup, Oregon and USC remained
scoreless for 90 minutes. The Trojans
scored five minutes into overtime for
the victory.
"We traditionally battle them very
tough," Steffen said. "We just haven't
got the results. Each group remembers*
the previous year's battle so it's always
a pretty competitive match."
Especially for Werdell — it being
her final two regular season games at
Oregon — who has had to watch her
team lose to the Trojans for the past
three years. She wants to leave the
Ducks on a good note.
"I want to win, 1 want to get a win
from the USC game for sure," she
said.
If the Ducks are victorious Friday, it
will give them much-needed momen
tum heading into Sunday. UCLA
moved into the No. 2 national rank
ing spot this week. The Bruins' only
loss this season came against North
Carolina, the No. 1 ranked team in
the country.
Oregon is 1-6 all-time against
UCLA with the one win at home in
1999. Steffen knows that the Bru
ins' national ranking makes them
look good.
"What they've done well is doing
what's necessary in each game," Stef
fen said. "They haven't blown a lot
of people out but they've won. Indi
vidually they're going to be strong,
but collectively we have to be
stronger."
Oregon's destiny awaits it in the
final two games, and the Ducks
know they have control over it. It*
will be an emotional weekend
where dreams come true or hearts
are broken.
In a season where stars have
emerged and the team has won more
games than any other squad in pro
gram history, the job is still unfin
ished. There is more to be achieved in
the eyes of the players.
"The great thing about this team is
that even with how proud we are with
the success we've gained already, we're
not satisfied," Mintz said. "We always
want to be doing better and we always
know it could be better."
Werdell, the team captain, has had
three main goals in her final season
with the Ducks.
She wanted the team to get the
most wins it has ever had.
Check.
She wanted to beat some Pac-10
teams that Oregon has never beat.
Check.
Only the next 180 minutes of her
career will reveal her final hope of the
team getting its first-ever berth to the
NCAA tournament.

HAGER
continued from page 7 A
adapted so well to his style that Cali
fornia has been nicknamed the
"Fighting Tedfords," showing just
what kind of an effect he has had on
that campus.
Tedford was widely recognized as
one of the brightest offensive minds
when he was with the Ducks and Fres
no State, f fe helped developed Trent
Dilfer way back in the day and Joey
I larrington with Oregon. It wasn't until
last season, however, where he truly
showed off his talents.
To be able to take Kyle Boiler, an un
derachieving quarterback in his first
three seasons, and make him NFL qual
ity is a testament to Tedford's ability.
Boiler looked like an entirely different
quarterback last season, and now that
he's a professional, he looks like he
could be the next Brett Favre, in both
physical ability and mentality.
Tedford's style has been perfect for
the Pac-10. His ability to lead a team
that attacks the defense with crisp
passing routes and timely running
plays has shown this season, a year
where the Golden Bears have defeat
ed their opponents by an average of
more than 19 points in their five wins.
When Tedford left Oregon, there
were doubts in the college football
world that he would be able to

change the program, simply because
the Golden Bears looked like a sink
ing ship. But he's adapted perfectly to
the style of the Pac-10 and he's using
that to the team's advantage.
The hard part for California athlet
ics director Stephen Gladstone is re
tention of the bright young coach.
The last time California showed any
kind of promise, Mariucci up and left
for the San Francisco 49ers after just
one season in Berkeley.
The program fell into the dark de
spair of the Holrnoe era — he fin
ished 16-39 in five seasons — that fell
to a 1-10 record in 2001.
If the second-year coach continues
his success, keeping Tedford would be
a coup for Gladstone. The Golden
Bears couldn't keep Mariucci, and that
was just after one season.
Bigger programs could soon come
calling. Iowa's Kirk Ferentz and Okla
homa's Bob Stoops are always men
tioned as possibilities for NFL jobs,
and Tedford would be a choice selec
tion for either the Hawkeyes or Soon
ers if either scenario unfolded.
But that would be a shame. Tedford
has a chance to build the Golden
Bears' respectability.
For the sake of the Pac-10, having
California as a potential BCS team
anywhere in the near future would be
a boon. Even consistent berths in
bowls would be enough.
It'll be interesting to see if Tedford
can do just that.
