Car Accident Recently? Eugene-Springfield, OR - A new free report has recently been released that reveals information every car accident victim should have before they speak to anyone. Research shows that even a “fender bender” can cause pain, headaches, even lead to arthritis. Many car accident victims worry more about their car then they do their rights. If you have been involved in an auto accident listen to the 24 hour toll-free recorded message by calling 1-800 814-5336. The call is free and so is the report.

Si ■ Duck volleyball &/.'v ■■' ■■■' i ! Oregon's Kim McNally (2) and Sarah Mason (17) attempt to block the shot of Arizona’s Bre Ladd (9). The Ducks lost both matches during last weekend's home stand. Erik R. Bishoff Photographer Ducks drop two at home to ASU, No. 21 Arizona Oregon claims only one game in two matches, including a season low in points against the Wildcats BY STEPHEN MILLER SPORTS REPORTER Oregon’s first two-match home stand against Pacific-10 Conference opponents this season was flooded by the Arizona schools during the week end. The Ducks also witnessed the intentions of back-to-back league victories and overall offensive production collapse. TWo young volleyball squads invad ed McArthur Court, and Oregon could only claim one game in two matches. The Arizona Wildcats were victori ous in their second straight league match as they swept the Ducks 30-26, 30-16,30-14. On Friday night, Arizona State earned its first league win of the sea son in a 3-1 match against Oregon, 30 19,30-21,28-30,30-25. Oregon head coach Carl Ferreira said he and his players were surprised with the lack of focus and the exces sive amount of miscues this weekend. “Our effort was great and our prepa ration was great,” Ferreira said. “There was no indication in practice that said we were going to have an off weekend.” Arizona (10-6,2-4 Pac-10) — ranked No. 21 in the nation — held the Ducks to a .000 hitting percentage and a total of 56points through three games on Saturday, both season lows. Oregon (9-6,1-4 Pac-10) showed in tensity in its attack, but hit at a .067 clip. Oregon’s attackers hit more attack errors (18) than kills (15) in the second and third games, resulting in a nega tive .042 average. “Our hitters were trying, so it was not a lack of effort,” Ferreira said after Saturday’s loss. “I didn’t think we played like we have been playing earli er in the year. “The players that have been scoring points on a consistent basis somewhat struggled this weekend. I think we got impatient, and when you can’t score points, it’s a frustrating thing.” Outside hitter Sarah Mason tallied 12 kills for Oregon and has hit double-digits in kills in all five Pac-10 matches. Arizona’s Meghan Cumpston led all attackers with 18 kills, the 18th ending the match. Junior Kim Glass posted her fourth double-double in six match es with 15 kills and 11 digs. “If you go from arena to arena, you’ll never see another Kim Glass,” Ferreira said. “She’s as good of an ath lete as there is. Their opposite player Megan Cumpston played significantly better than we had anticipated.” “(Arizona’s) conference record is not reflective of the caliber of program they have. They came out very balanced.” Senior libero Kelli Mulvany posted a game-high 18 digs. Arizona’s net play ers had 14 block assists on the night. Arizona State (7-7,2-4 Pac-10) start ed the downhill trend this weekend for the Ducks with a small roster and a big win on Friday. “Our team is so interesting right now,” Arizona State head coach Brad Saindon said. “We only had 11 players on this trip — seven of them are fresh man — so it’s a really young team. “Both teams were playing hard and we were fortunate to get out of there with a win.” The Sun Devils had three players record double-digits in kills and digs. Four attackers had at least 10 kills. Mason had a team-high 14 kills for the Ducks, and junior Kelly Russell fol lowed up with 13. Freshman middle blocker Karen Waddington posted a personal-best 11 kills. Oregon had 35 attack errors compared to the Sun Devils’ 20. Senior libero Katie O’Neil set a new career-best in digs with a match high 27. Arizona State fed its attack down Oregon’s throat. Nina Reeves focused on hitting down the center of the court and led the Sun Devil attack with 16 kills. Libero Sydney Donahue led Arizona State’s defense with a team-high 24 digs. Russell revived the faith of the crowd and displayed Oregon’s all-or nothing attitude with a monstrous kill to win the third game. Each team had 12 service errors, but Arizona State earned an 8-5 advantage in aces. O’Neil said this weekend was one the Ducks need to forget and learn from. “You could definitely see some la£k of mental focus,” O’Neil said. “I think it was an off weekend in general. ” stephenmiller@ daily emerald, com Jones: Ducks face tough road to Rose Bowl Continued from page 7 a rotating turnstile in the fourth quarter and letting Oregon score at will, we all might be singing a differ ent tune right now. But this team is getting there. An offensive explosion is promising. A fourth-quarter comeback is reassuring. Plus the team knows it almost blew this one because of its mistakes. “If we would have lost we would of been ‘what if-ing’ all over the place this week,” senior linebacker Jerry Matson said. !‘We had so many opportunities to make it right.” Oregon now has some momen tum and that’s important in the Pa cific-10 Conference. With one loss to a tough Arizona State team, Oregon still has a chance to go to — dare I say — the Rose Bowl. With No. 1 Southern California always pulling out the tough wins they need, in cluding a nail-biter against Cal Sat urday, USC looks poised to be play ing in the national title game. This leaves a spot for the second place Pac-10 team to go to the Rose Bowl. The aforementioned Sun Dev ils travel to USC next week, which in all likelihood will result m V loss for Arizona State. Oregon would probably have to win out to put themselves into posi tion for the Rose Bowl. This would include an upset of California on the road, a very tough task. But it’s hope, and for the Ducks hope is all they want after the disap pointing start this team suffered. It just needs to make sure the only yellow out there on Saturdays is the 0 on their helmet (or their spiffy ultra-bright jerseys) and not the yellow cloth of an official’s flag lying on the turf. daytonjones@dailyemerald. com
