IN BRIEF
Yankees take 2-0 lead in
ALCS, beat Red Sox 3-1
While the raucous crowd at Yan
kee Stadium taunted Pedro Mar
tinez with booming chants of
“Who’s your daddy?” Jon Lieber
shut down the highest-scoring of
fense in the major leagues.
A No. 5 starter pitching against a
three-time Cy Young Award winner,
Lieber took a shutout into the
eighth inning. John Olerud backed
him with a two-run homer in the
sixth off the tiring Martinez, and the
Yankees beat the Red Sox 3-1
Wednesday night for a 2-0 lead in
their American League Champi
onship Series rematch.
After Orlando Cabrera singled
leading off the third inning for
Boston’s first hit, Lieber retired 13
straight batters before David Ortiz
singled in the seventh.
Lieber needed just 45 pitches to
get through five innings — Martinez
threw 46 in just the first two innings.
After TYot Nixon singled leading
off the eighth, Tom Gordon came in
and allowed Jason Varitek’s double
and Cabrera’s RBI grounder.
After a day off, the series re
sumes Saturday at Fenway Park,
with Kevin Brown pitching for the
Yankees against Bronson Arroyo.
Boston headed home unsure of the
status of ace Curt Schilling, whose
ailing right ankle might prevent him
from starting Game 5 if it’s needed.
Martinez nicked Alex Rodriguez
on the hand with the count 2-2, and
Gary Sheffield singled to center on
the next pitch, with Jeter scoring eas
ily ahead of Damon’s weak throw.
That was all the Yankees got then,
with Martinez recovering to throw
called third strikes past Hideki Mat
sui and Bemie Williams before retir
ing Jorge Posada on a grounder.
Martinez was still throwing 95
mph pitches in the fifth inning, but
he tired in the sixth, when he
walked Posada with one out. He got
ahead 1-2 in the count against
Olerud, who was signed Aug. 3 for
the discount price of $100,000 after
Seattle released him from a $7.7
million deal Olerud sent a high
pitch — Martinez’s 106th — over
the right-field wall for the ninth
postseason homer of his career.

Oregon freshman forward Kami Kapaku (6) leads the Ducks in shots on goal (14) going into Friday’s Civil War against Oregon State.
Soccer: Lainez leads conference in saves
Continued from page 13
Oregon is eighth in shots (131), but
ranks last in points (27), goals (10),
goals per game (0.83), assists (7) and
assists per game (0.58).
In relation, Oregon junior goal
keeper Domenique Lainez leads the
Pac-10 in saves with 61. She is on
pace to break last year’s mark of 90,
which ranked second in the Pac-10
and sixth all-time on the Ducks’ sin
gle-season list.
“We are going to try and combine
around defenses, and to not play as
much one on one,” Steffen said. “We
are going to try and use our wide
players more and stay wide. ”
Some of the blame for the offensive
woes has to fall on the rash of injuries
the Ducks suffered in the spring. Red
shirt junior Nicole Garbin’s status re
mains doubtful for the rest of the sea
son after a spring knee injury
sidelined the Ducks’ most potent
offensive weapon. Last year, Garbin
broke season records for assists (8)
and points (22), tied the shots record
(70), and also ranked in the top five
all-time for Oregon in goals (7, tie for
fifth). In her career, she ranks first in
assists (13), second in game-winning
goals (6) and third in goals (12),
points (37) and shots (112).
“(Losing Nicole Garbin) was a
huge factor,” Steffen said. “She has
been one of the best players in the
program. But our players have to
raise their level. ”
This season, a quartet of Ducks is
tied for the team lead in goals. Fresh
man Kami Kapaku, junior Mele
French, senior Christine Mintz and
junior Caitlin Gamble each have two
goals for the Ducks. French leads the
team in points (5) and is third in
shots (16) and shots on goal (9).
The strength of conference
Five Pac-10 teams are ranked
among Soccer America’s top 25 this
week, including four teams in the top
15. UCLA moved into the No. 6 spot
while Washington dropped three
spots to No.7, after its loss to No. 24
Arizona. No. 14 California and No. 10
Stanford will face off with the Ari
zona schools over the weekend.
Freshman production
In addition to Kapaku leading the
team in shots on goal (14) and rank
ing second in shots (22), a number of
the other freshmen have been pro
ducing this season. Midfielder Jen
Cameron ranks fifth in shots on goal
(5) and sixth in shots (8). Midfielder
Dylann Tharp and midfielder/de
fender Emily Danner have started 11
and seven games, respectively.
Aimee Goss came off the bench
against No. 6 UCLA to lead the Ducks
in shots (3) and shots on goal (1).

a team-building experience. That
would be a great experience for the
future. ”
The Ducks, anchored by Andrus
and fellow senior All-American Eric
Logsdon, face a daunting West Re
gional, featuring two-time defending
national champion Stanford, No. 12
Cal-Poly, Washington and Arizona.
After Andrus and Logsdon, the
Ducks rely exclusively on sophomore
and freshmen runners for their third,
fourth and fifth positions.
Despite being “the old man” on a
team more likely to break out in
2005 than 2004, Andrus smiled and
said how much fun he was having
this season.
“I really enjoy the young guys,”
he said. “I used to think freshmen
were necessary nuisances, but I re
ally like these guys.”
Saturday will mark the first real test
for Andrus and his youthful counter
parts. Andrus, whose win at the 4K
Stanford Invitational led the Ducks to
victory, and company will run their
first 8K meet of the season at Terre
Haute, Ind., home of the LaVern Gib
son Championship course, also site of
the NCAA meet in late November. The
field will include eight top-10 teams
and 37 of the 47 teams receiving votes
in the national poll.
For Andrus, the NCAA meet in No
vember will be his last collegiate ath
letic experience. The post-baccalau
reate student graduated with a 3.98
GPA in business finance last spring
and finished his track eligibility in
June. He will accept a job at Intel in
Hillsboro after the fall term.
“I’m excited to start a career and
dedicate myself to that,” Andrus said.
“It was a wonderful time of my life
(but) I feel very ready to move on.”
