Soccer:
Arizona tied
for Pac-10 first
Continued from page 13
A shocker in the Pac-10
The surprise of the Pac-10 this
year, the Arizona Wildcats, sits tied
for first place in the conference,
thanks to an offense that has scored
31 goals this season. The Wildcats
recorded their first ever win against
No. 10 Stanford last Friday off a cor
ner kick in double-overtime.
Arizona has already tied its
school-record number of wins in a
single season with three. The Wild
cats are paced by Mallory Miller,
who has 18 points (5 goals, 8 as
sists) so far this season.
The Wildcats earned their first top
25 ranking in school history last
week. They were ranked 24th and
29th in Soccer America and Soccer
Buzz, respectively, and have since
made the jump to 16th and 23rd in
both magazines.
Freshman forward leads
Oregon State in scoring
Oregon State freshman forward
Jodie Taylor continues to lead the
Pac-10 in goals (11), and is ranked
second in the conference in points
with 24. Taylor has accounted for
over half of her team’s 20 goals
this season.
UCLA's Davis scores hat
trick, leads Pac-10
UCLA’s sophomore forward Bristyn
Davis became the third Bruin to com
plete a hat trick this season after scor
ing three second-half goals against No.
7 Washington on Oct. 17. She leads the
Pac-10 in points with 25 (10 goals and
5 assists).

None of the previous 25 major
league teams to fall behind 3-0 even
forced a series to seven games. The
wild-card Red Sox became only the
third of 239 teams in the four major
North American leagues to over
come a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven
series and win, joining the 1942
Toronto Maple Leafs and the 1975
New York Islanders.
Even without Roger Clemens, Andy
Pettitte and David Wells, who all left
after last year’s Game 6 loss to Florida
in the World Series, the Yankees had a
4-3 lead in the ninth inning of Game 4
on Sunday night, only to have Bill
Mueller single home the tying run off
Mariano Rivera and Ortiz hit a nth-in
ning homer against Paul Quantrill.
They held a 4-2 lead in the eighth
inning of Game 5 before Ortiz’s
homer off Tom Gordon and Jason
Varitek’s sacrifice fly off Rivera, and
Ortiz’s winning single off Esteban
Loaiza in the 14th.

Then Curt Schilling, his ailing right
ankle held together by suture, beat
the Yankees 4-2 Tliesday night to tie
the series at 3-all.
Just like last year, when the Red
Sox went ahead 4-0 in the fourth
inning of Game 7, Boston burst
out quickly.
Damon, who entered the game 3
for 29 (.103), singled past Alex Ro
driguez at third base to lead off and
stole second. Manny Ramirez then
grounded a single past Jeter at short
stop. Damon, who had to hold up to
make sure the ball went into the out
field, was thrown out when left field
er Hideki Matsui relayed the ball to
Jeter, who threw a strike to Jorge
Posada, with the catcher blocking
Damon at the plate.
Ortiz, who had three homers and
11 RBIs in the series, sent the next
pitch into the right-field seats to put
Boston ahead 2-0.
The Red Sox loaded the bases with
one out in the second on Kevin Mil
lar’s single and walks to Mueller and
Orlando Cabrera.
Vazquez, who gave up a team
high 33 homers, blew open the game
with brutal efficiency. Damon, who
hadn’t homered since Oct. 1, lofted
his first pitch down the right-field
line, the ball landing in the front row.
Jubilant Red Sox players poured out
of the dugout, jumping and yelling.
Practice: Opponent variety
keeps team on its toes
Continued from page 13
you know it in a hurry. ”
Like many collegiate women’s
basketball teams around the nation,
Oregon volleyball has resorted to
practicing against a male squad.
“In the spring we had the guys
from the men’s club team practice
with us,” Ferreira said. “In order for
that to happen we have to go
through the normal NCAA rules of
adding them to our roster and they
become a member of our team.
“What’s nice about it is that they
come out and hit the ball hard, and
they help (a player) with (her) reac
tion time. Having guys in practice is a
good thing. ”
Bitter explained that especially
in the Pacific-10 Conference, many
of the female volleyball players
have abilities equal to their male
counterparts.
“As soon as we get someone else
in there who’s hitting different shots
or breaking up a block, you’re on
your toes again,” she said, “especial
ly with a guy out there.”
"We play against girls that can
jump (as high as a man), and it’s
hard to imitate that. You get a guy in
and it changes the pace of the game. ”
Practice doesn’t have to occur in
a team’s home arena. This summer,
Lauren Westenforf, Heather Madi
son and Bitter traveled to Italy to
participate in an international tour
nament. Bitter considered the tour
nament to be a learning experience
more than a competition.
Every volleyball event is a learning
experience, whether it be a pre-game
warm-up or a mid-week workout.
“Anytime we can get smiles on
people’s faces in the midst of a
stressful week, it helps alleviate any
pressure,” O’Neil said. “It just
makes it fun again and reminds you
why you play. ”
