The Ducks lost both games but won the 1-5 Cup in a shootout. Ducks win battle in Seattle for 1-5 Cup with shootout After losing two consecutive games to the Huskies, Ducks win best-of-five series with a goal by Savich BY LUKE ANDREWS DAILY EMERALD FREELANCE REPORTER The Oregon Club hockey team won the battle for the 1-5 Cup for the first time in school history last week end versus Washington — albeit in dramatic fashion. After sweeping the Huskies in two games at home earlier this sea son, the Ducks needed one win in two contests to take home the best of-five series. Yet the tables turned in Seattle as Washington defeated the Ducks on two consecutive nights, 6-5 and 3-2, forcing a shootout after the second game to decide the winner of the series. Oregon proved its resilience in the shootout, defeating the Huskies to claim the cup. “It felt great to have a positive twist on such a tough weekend,” head coach Scott McCallum said. In the first game, both the Ducks and Huskies came out firing with of fensive game plans, and Oregon held a two-goal advantage in the third pe riod. Showing resilience of its own, Washington battled back and man aged to take a one-point lead, eventually winning 6-5. Center Mike Tornabene scored two goals for the Ducks, and Cal Brackin, Mike Roley and Ryan Jones each had one apiece. “Washington surprised us and played much better than we were ex pecting,” Tornabene said. “They had very good systems and were obviously well coached.” “We lost two battles, bat we won the war. ” Mike Tornabene | Center The scene shifted in game two as both teams upped their defensive ef forts. Washington held a 3-0 lead for the majority of the game until Torn abene and Roley scored to get the Ducks within one. However, the Husky defense was able to thwart the Oregon comeback and hung on to a 3-2 win. “I feel like we outplayed them for most of each game,” McCallum said. “We had many chances to score but just couldn’t seem to put the puck in the net.” As if two one-point losses weren’t enough, the real drama had just begun. After nine attempts by both teams in the shootout, Oregon’s Justin Savich, scored followed by a clutch save from Oregon goaltender Matt Nuernberg to give the Ducks the shootout and 2005 1-5 Cup victories. “We lost two battles, but we won the war,” Tomabene said. “This is the first time we’ve won the cup, and no matter how we got it, we still got it.” Before Savich’s shootout winner, Tornabene, the team’s leading scor er for the past five seasons, scored his fourth goal of the weekend, and newcomer Matt Olsen scored anoth er for the Ducks. Nuernberg allowed just two goals and saved eight shots in the shootout. The Ducks, who were ranked 10th in the American Collegiate Hockey Association polls coming into the weekend against Washington, sit near the top of the Pac-8 in record, winning percentage and points awarded. They are in third place, just points behind UCLA and Cal. Oregon faces Puget Sound at home this weekend. “I think that we had a much needed wake-up call to get us ready for the Pac-8’s (tournament),” McCallum said. “I hate to lose, especially to UW, but we will regroup and be stronger in the end.” Classifieds To place an ad, call (541) 346-4343 or stop by Room 300 Erb Memorial Union E-mail: dassads@dailyemerald.com Online Edition: www.dailyemerald.com Room 300, Erb Memorial Union, RO.
