■ Duck volleyball
Oregon falls to No. 14 Cal
3-0 in its last home match
The Ducks, who held a
brief second-game lead,
succumbed to errors
BY STEPHEN MILLER
SPORTS REPORTER
A roller coaster of emotions
climbed and descended as Oregon
fell to No. 14 California in its final
home match of the 2004 season Fri
day at McArthur Court.
Seniors Katie O’Neil and Lauren
Westendorf were both recognized in
a pregame celebration and then an
nounced in the starting lineup to
honor their final contest on the
Ducks’ floor.
In unscripted fashion, however,
the Bears claimed their 12th-straight
match over Oregon with a 3-0 win,
30-23, 30-24, 30-14.
“It was great to see the two of
them (O’Neil and Westendorf) on the
floor again,” Oregon head coach Carl
Ferreira said despite suffering the
loss. “They came in together, they
room together, they are both very
special, and I thought it was a very
special night for them.”
Westendorf, who continues to re
cover from an anterior cruciate liga
ment injury sustained on Sept. 24,
successfully served the first ball of
the match and then substituted out
after a sideout by Cal.
“I had been planning on serving
for about a week,” Westendorf said.
“I actually just got clearance from my
doctor to be out of my brace and
serve. It was nice to be on the court
and nice to serve and have that sym
bolic moment to end my career. ”

broke the Pacific-10 Conference
record for service aces in a match

Oregon senior Lauren Westendorf, who
suffered a severe knee injury on Sept. 24,
was given permission by her doctor to open
with a serve in Friday’s loss to Cal.
with 12 against Seton Hall on Sept.
18, said that her name would not be
found in any future box scores.
“I am done — I had clearance for
one match and so I’m done,” she
said. “My career as an Oregon volley
ball player is over.”
As heartbreaking as that was to
hear, coach Ferreira remained stuck
on the first play of the match.
“I thought it was great that Lauren
served and got her serve in,” Ferreira
said. “I was most concerned about
Lauren being too energetic and want
ing to dig the ball, forgetting that she
has a bum wheel.”
The woes began shortly after that
symbolic moment for the Ducks,
who finished with eight service errors
and no aces.
Cal (14-9 overall, 9-5 Pac-10) used
a 12-0 scoring streak to go up 17-9 in
the first game and constrict Oregon’s
intensity level.
“I thought we played the way we
wanted to play,” Ferreira said. “We
just got stuck in that one rotation. Oth
er than that, we were getting points
when we needed to get points. ”
Oregon (9-16,1-14) glanced at a 5
0 lead in the second game and man
aged to stay either ahead or tied with
the Bears until an attack error direct
ed Cal to the winning path.
The Bears found their comfort
zone at the net in the third game, as
they recorded six block assists. Cal
held Oregon to nine kills to accompa
ny nine errors (.000 hitting percent
age) after the Ducks averaged .326
through the first two games.
“We had a few stumbling blocks
for a while,” Cal head coach Rich
Feller said. “We got some pretty good
defense and ran our offense the way
we wanted to.
Junior outside hitter Kelly Russell
finished with a match-high 17 kills
for Oregon. Sophomores Sarah Ma
son and Kristen Bitter added 12 and
nine kills, respectively.
O’Neil finished with 16 digs, mov
ing her career total to 955 with four
matches left this season.
“I’m really just trying to soak up
each moment with my teammates,”
O’Neil said. “Tonight I took an extra
moment to look around and just feel
the feeling because you remember
the feelings — not the scores and not
the outcomes. ”
