IN BRIEF
Ducks relay team takes
fifth place in Des Moines
Athletes of the Oregon women’s
track and field team met a high level
of competition at the Drake Relays this
weekend. The Ducks were unable to
capture a top finish in any event dur
ing the two-day spectacle in Des
Moines, Iowa.
On Saturday, Oregon ran its first
sprint medley relay of the season. In
its running order, Sofie Abildtrup,
Julie Schmidt-Scherer, Michelle Dono
van and Sara Schaaf made up the
quartet that took fifth place with a
time of 3:59.31. Rice stopped the clock
at 3:52.77 to win the 1,600-meter race.
Oregon’s hammer throwers en
gaged in a reality check competition as
well on Saturday. Redshirt junior Brit
tany Hinchcliffe threw 181-feet to fin
ish eighth, well below her season
best. Redshirt senior Katie Kersh
couldn’t get her weight to soar beyond
160-4, which dropped her to 21st in
the field.
The Ducks’ highest finish in any
event came from senior Bree Fuqua’s
second-place push of 51-9 3/4 in the
shotput on Friday. South Florida’s
Chandras Brewer claimed the event
with a 52-8 heave.
Also on Friday, Oregon’s Sarah Mal
one finished third in the javelin with a
174-2 throw on her second attempt.

Softball: Ducks' offensive struggles persist
Continued from page 13
the rest of the Ducks, the team
continued its offensive struggles
from the day before against the
Sun Devils and couldn’t string any
thing together until late.
In the bottom of the sixth inning
though, seniors Ashley Richards
and Erin Goodell came through for
the Ducks with clutch hits.
Lovena Chaput led off the inning
with a sharp single up the middle.
Next, Breanne Sabol reached when
Arizona State first baseman Sharee
Zaleskimade an error trying to
throw out Chaput at second base
after Sabol’s sacrifice bunt. With
runners on first and second, Sun
Devil pitcher Katie Burkhart hit
Beth Boskovich in the left
elbow with an 0-2 pitch to load the
bases. Arizona State removed
Burkhart and inserted its ace,
Desiree Serrano.
Stepping up to the plate next
was Richards. The senior catcher
drilled a Serrano pitch into the left
center field gap for a double,
scoring two runs to give the Ducks
the advantage. It was the
first time Oregon had scored in
16 innings.
After a pop out by Joanna Gail,
Goodell collected her second hit of
the day with a single up the middle
to score Boskovich and give
the Ducks a 3-0 lead they wouldn’t
relinquish.
Harris shut down the Sun Devils
in the seventh inning, striking
out Zaleski, Rhiannon Baca and
Michelle Smith in order to end
the game.
“Amy was amazing,” Goodell
said, “it is the best performance I
have ever seen.”
Next up for the Ducks is their
last home game of the season Tlies
day against Portland State at 4 p.m.

Football: Sophomore quarterback Leaf shows promise under center on team green
Continued from page 13
doing jumping jacks,” said Dixon, who
completed 4 of 9 for 78 yards and a
touchdown. “There was no way but to
throw it, so I threw it.
“It comes back to composure with
me. I’ve got to stay in the pocket more
and have more pocket presence. There
were certain times I could have stayed
in there and took a hit, but knowing
me, I‘m using my god-given talent.”
Clemens completed 8 of 13 passes
for 118 yards and a score for the white
team before leaving with a sprained left
foot in the second half. While the
senior’s numbers were respectable, he
was sacked four times as the Ducks’ in
experienced offensive line struggled
with the green team’s solid defense.
The Ducks also got plenty of produc
tion from their wide receivers in offen
sive coordinator Gary Crowton’s new
scheme. Junior Kyle Weatherspoon led
all pass catchers with 10 receptions for
129 yards and a touchdown for the
white, while Williams added 55 yards
on a pair of receptions. Redshirt fresh
man Jaison Williams led the green
team with five catches for 79 yards,
while junior-college transfer James
Finley added five catches for 54 yards.
“I thought we produced well as a
unit,” Jaison Williams said. “The de
fense did an excellent job, but we had
the upper hand on them.”
Sophomore quarterback Brady Leaf
also shined for the green team, com
pleting 12 of 16 passes for 138 yards.
The Great Falls, Mont., native also
completed 5 of 9 passes for 75 yards,
including a 17-yard touchdown to jun
ior Drew Larson, after switching to the
white squad late in the game.
“What (Leaf] lacks in athleticism,
compared to the other two
(quarterbacks), he has great poise
and decision-making and a sense of
the pocket,” head coach Mike Bellotti
said. “I was very pleased with his
performance today. ”
Redshirt freshman Terrell Jackson
led all rushers with 56 yards in nine
carries, including a 10-yard touchdown
on the last play of the third quarter.
Whitehead gained 47 yards on seven
carries, but amassed 34 of those yards
on one attempt.
Defensively, sophomore linebacker
Ryan Phipps recorded nine tackles for
the green, while redshirt freshman
defensive tackle Ra’shon Harris fin
ished with a pair of sacks. Sopho
more linebacker Josh Thomas-Dot
son led the white with seven tackles.
The white team was also credited
with a safety on Dixon on a referee’s
holding call in the end zone during
the second quarter.
Junior defensive tackle Haloti Ngata
recorded half a sack for the green team
in limited playing time. Bellotti said he
reduced Ngata’s time on the field, “to
give the other team a chance.”
