Mason has recorded consecutive double digit to tals in kills in all five league matches. Kelly Russell, last season’s kills leader for the Ducks, is averaging only 2.41 kills per game over the last five matches. The junior outside hitter has 174 kills on the season and has played in 51 of 52 games this year. Libero Katie O’Neil holds an aver age of 4.55 digs per game, good for fourth in the conference.

She surpassed Lo gan Tom’s career mark of 1,939 ca reer kills to become Stanford’s all time leader in kills. Nnamani finished the Cardinal’s road trip last week with a combined total of 60 kills (7.50 per game) against No. 2 USC and No. 10 UCLA. She tallied 24 kills and nine digs in a 3-1 loss to USC. Nnamani then posted a career-high 36 kills and hit at a .385 clip against UCLA. Her 14 digs in that match gave her a dou ble-double, her sixth of the season. She has accrued a team-best 328 kills this season. Sophomore outside hitter Kristin Richards leads the Cardinal with nine double-doubles, which is second in the Pac-10. She also leads the team with 3.76 digs per game and 21 solo blocks. Richards is second on the Stanford squad with 227 kills, averaging 3.91 per game.

No. 11 UCLA and No. 22 Arizona each moved down on the list. No. 12 Stanford moved up from No. 14 , with No. 13 California jumping four spots from No. 17. Despite arriving late from a funeral in Panama, closer Mariano Rivera cfuieted Boston's comeback BY RONALD BLUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Mariano Rivera showed up just in time to save the New York Yankees. Shortly after jetting back from a funeral for relatives in Panama, baseball’s greatest closer stopped the surging Boston Red Sox, who had cut an eight-run deficit to one. Rivera got Kevin Millar to pop out to strand the tying run at third base in the eighth inning, then fin ished out a thrilling 10-7 win for the Yankees in Tuesday night’s opener of the American League Championship Series. Hideki Matsui tied an ALCS record with five RBIs, four off Curt Schilling. Mike Mussina was per fect through six innings before Mark Bellhorn doubled on a drive that hit the left-field wall on a hop with one out in the seventh and Bernie Williams drove in three runs, including a two-run double in the eighth that gave Rivera some breathing room. For much of the night it seemed like a laugher, with the Yankees ahead 6-0 by the third and 8-0 in the sixth. But after Bellhorn’s hit on Mussina’s 86th pitch, the stubbly faced pitcher’s huge curveball quickly became hittable. Millar hit a two-run double with two outs and scored on a single by That Nixon. Tanyon Sturtze relieved and Jason Varitek hit a two-run homer on his third pitch, pulling the Red Sox to 8-5. David Ortiz made it 8-7 with a two-run triple in the eighth off Tom Gordon, who would have been the Yankees’ closer had Rivera not been back and ready. Ortiz’s drive to left center bounced off the glove of Mat sui near the top of the wall, and the crowd got up to welcome Rivera, perhaps the biggest factor in New York’s six AL pennants and four World Series titles since 1996. He had returned to his native country Sunday after two relatives were electrocuted in the swimming pool of his home, and arrived back at the ballpark in the second inning af ter a private plane arranged by the Yankees took him to Teterboro Air port in New Jersey. Given a huge ovation by the sell out crowd of 56,135, he fell behind 2-1 to Millar, who popped the next pitch to shortstop Derek Jeter be hind second base. Williams doubled in the bottom half off Mike Timlin, a ball that soared over Manny Ramirez in left. Varitek and Orlando Cabrera singled with one out in the ninth, bringing up Bill Mueller, whose two-run homer off Rivera beat the Yankees at Fenway Park on July 24. Mueller hit a comebacker that Rivera turned into a game-ending double play, and the Yankees came on the field, a few of them hugging the reliever who earned his 31st postseason save. Pedro Martinez pitches for the Red Sox on Wednesday night against Jon Lieber. Martinez is sure to be remind ed by fans of his remark last month that the Yankees are his “daddy.” Mussina, assuming the ace role on a rotation that's struggled, ended New York's streak of losses in four straight playoff openers, striking out eight and allowing four runs and four hits in 6 2/3 innings. ."

The Huskies are 13-0 overall and 5-0 in the conference. A record crowd of 3,673 witnessed Friday’s intrastate match-up between Washington and Washington State. That was the largest audience for a Pac-10 volleyball match this season, dwarfing the previous attendance record of 1,917 (USC at Arizona on Oct. 2) and doubling the Oct. 1 fan count at the Bank of America Arena — 1,812 versus Oregon. stephenmiUer@ daily emerald, com To place an ad, call (541) 346-4343 or stop by Room 300 Erb Memorial Union E-mail: classads@dailyemerald.com Online Edition: www.dailyemerald.com Room 300, Erb Memorial Union, P.O.
