    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.

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. ”

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.
