SPORTS BRIEF
Women's tennis hires
new assistant coach
The Oregon women's tennis team
hired Monica Poveda as a new assistant
coach, women's tennis head coach Nils
Schyllander announced last week.
Poveda, a former professional ten
nis player and a member of the Bo
livia Fed Cup team, replaces former
assistant coach Kathy Sell, who left
Oregon to take over the women's
tennis head coaching job at Princeton
University in May.
"We are very excited to have Monica
join our staff," Schyllander said. "She
played at a very high collegiate and pro
fessional level and has a tremendous
amount of coaching experience under
her belt. We look for her to have an im
mediate impact on our program.
"Poveda, a Bolivian native, is a 2001
graduate of the University of Tulsa and
was named the Western Athletic Confer
ence Player of the Year in 2000. She
helped guide Tulsa to a program-best
No. 21 ranking four years ago.
Since 2002, Poveda has coached
junior players from Bolivia, while she
continues to play on the Bolivia Fed
Cup team. She was named team cap
tain this past year.
The Oregon women's tennis team
returns all but one player from last
year's squad, which won 17 matches
and reached the second round of the
NCAA Tournament.

postseason and becoming a consis
tent top-20 team.
"All of our players are winners," Fer
reira said. "We are on the verge of Pac
10 success and have the makeup to
have a good start and potentially be in
position to make some noise in the
conference."
Westendorf was one of the Ducks'
top outside hitters in 2003 after
posting a total of 219 kills and
1.76 digs per game. She has also
missed only one game over the
past two seasons.
Fellow outside hitter Kelly Russell,
last season's Most Valuable Player,
also returns after leading the team in
kills (278) and service aces (17).
O'Neil will play the libero posi
tion, which is primarily a defensive
position. The libero is not allowed
to serve, to spike the ball over the net
or to rotate into one of the front-row
positions. O'Neil, a graduate of Gre
sham High School, has played in all
91 of Oregon's games with a team
high 266 digs and an average of 2.92
digs per game.

Last season’s record: 3-24 overall
(018 Pacific-10 Conference)
First game: Oregon vs. Southern
Oregon, McArthur Court, Wednesday,
September 1,7 p.m.
Backing up O'Neil at the libero
position are three sophomores —
Stephanie Alleman, Candice Feola
and Allyson Leavitt. All three will pro
vide depth on defense.
"I feel that we have the ability
to play a ball-control style," Ferreira
said. "All four players will give
us the effort we are looking for at
the position. "The Pacific-10 Confer
ence will once again be the top
league in the nation after six Pac-10
teams reached the Sweet 16 last
season and USC winning its second
straight championship. Oregon
begins conference play on Sept.
24 at home when they host
Oregon State.
"The bottom line is we need
to utilize what we are strong at
and continue to promote the
concept of relationships and family
with this team," Ferreira said.
"Our players have worked very
hard and deserve to see results
which I feel are right around
the corner."

the community here in Eugene.
"I like the people in the town,"
Kelly said. "They have a lot of love
for the football program at Oregon.
I was just walking around the town
and I could see the spirit of the
school. Everyone was wearing Ore
gon stuff and people would come up
and ask me if I was a football player.
There's a lot of respect for the college
in the community and it doesn't rain
as much there as people think."
It's a shame that Kelly won't be able
to experience that downpour of rain
that often unpredictably hits Autzen
Stadium during football games.
It's a shame that Kelly won't be able
to feel what it's like to play in one of
the greatest college-football stadiums
in the country.
And it's a shame that Kelly won't be
able to compete in front of 54,000
screaming Duck fans, including stu
dents, parents and alumni, who root
and support their team every down,
every minute and every second.
All of this will now not be possible
because of a couple of idiots, who
mindlessly fired off a gun late Thurs
day night.
It's a real shame.
