Senior Laura Harmon leads the
Duck women, a team that has
placed fifth the past two seasons
against favorites No. 1 Stanford, No.
8 Arizona State and No. 26 UCLA.
Harmon, who finished 18th in
the country last spring in the 5,000
meter, will vie for All-Conference
honors after redshirting last year’s
cross country season after a bout
with pneumonia.
“We’re hoping for a strong show
ing,” junior Haripurkh Khalsa said.
“We’ll fight for every position.”
The meet, hosted by California,
will be held at the famed Golden
Gate Park. This is the Ducks’ last
meet before the West Regional in
Fresno, Calif., on Nov. 13.

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.”

11th and 13th place, respectively.
Nealy trailed first-round leader
Charlotte Mayorkas of the No. 3 Bru
ins by seven strokes. Freshman Vic
toria Wenslow added a stroke to her
first-round score and ended Tuesday
with a 76, placing her in a tie for
27th. Wenslow’s total score after
two rounds was 151. Michelle Tim
pani showed improvement from her
first-round score and penciled a sec
ond-round 76, moving her into a tie
for 36th with a score of 153.
The Ducks played sensationally
through two rounds but found them
selves trailing fellow Pac-10 foes Ari
zona State and UCLA. The Bruins
topped the field going into the third
round with an impressive team
score of 568. The second-place Sun
Devils trailed UCLA by 16 strokes
and held an eight-stroke lead over
Oregon. After TUesday, the Ducks
were clinging to a one-stroke lead
over Oklahoma.

Soccer: Stanford's defense, Cal's offense pose threats

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.
