Volleyball: Russell posts match-high 25 kills Continued from page 9A the beginning and we wouldn’t get runs of points when we were serv ing,” Russell said. “It only takes that little gap, and it gets bigger and big ger as you progress through the game until you lose.” The fifth game started with Oregon down 8-1 and it finished on a block by Washington State. Russell recorded a match-high and career-best 25 kills on 80 swing attempts, the most of any Oregon player this season. She also collected 24 digs. Senior libero Stacey Holbrook led the Cougars with 27 digs. The Ducks witnessed their hitting percentage decrease continuously in each game. Overall, they averaged a .153 hitting percentage, while landing 78 kills on 242 attempts. Washington State took fewer attempts (230) and tallied fewer kills (68), but finished with a higher hitting percentage (.183). “Hopefully everybody’s cleared this game out of their minds and ready to move on,” Russell said. O’Neil said her team was upset but they lost no momentum in this game. “We weren’t winning before this and it’s disappointing,” O’Neil said. “We really have nothing to lose, we never have and as long as I’m playing we’re going to take it hard and play as best we can.” stephenmiller@ daily emerald, com Golf: Ducks trailed after two, despite superb plav Continued from page 9A 11th and 13th place, respectively. Nealy trailed first-round leader Charlotte Mayorkas of the No. 3 Bru ins by seven strokes.

Adams is a freelance sports reporter for the Daily Emerald Soccer: Stanford's defense, Cal's offense pose threats Continued from page 9A and make them impatient and try to attack the outsides." A stifling defense has elevated Stanford to 14th in the country and helped make up for below-average offensive production. Stanford ranks last in the conference in shots (156) and is tied for seventh in goals (23). California seeks conference title As a team, California makes the most of the shots they get. The Golden Bears are in the middle of the conference in shots taken, but rank first in assists per game (2.07), second in assists (31), third in points (91), and fourth in goals (30) and goals per game (2.00). California freshman forward Stephanie Wieger has moved into a tie for first on the team with 19 points after she netted the game-winning goal in a 1-0 double-overtime victory against No. 6 UCLA. The freshman also posted the game-winning goal against No. 24 Arizona, giving her the Pac-10 lead in game-winning goals. “They are a learning team,” Steffen said. “But they are also a potent team and they are more consistent.” With their victory over the Bru ins last weekend, the Golden Bears assured themselves of at least a .500 season, and are still in con tention for their first conference ti tle since 1998. Regardless of the untimely injuries and challenges ahead, Oregon play ers remain optimistic. “I’m just looking forward to us playing well,” Mintz said. “I think we had a good weekend (last weekend), even though we didn’t get a win.” Today’s match will be held at 5 p.m. at Maloney Field in Stanford, Calif. Sunday’s match is at noon at Edwards Stadium in Berkeley, Calif. briansmith@dailyememld.com >0199961 BASIC MATH. 2 Giant 16" 1-topping pizzas Between 6 people ■ fit = s') I fcvson For under $3°° a person, you can feed 6 people the best pizza in town! o> ■O cz 03 03 a . cn 4= .E a. .bj o Cl > c: 03 Do the math.
