Volleyball: Pacific-10 honors Kristin Bitter
Continued from page 5
and 28 assists.
The next match in Seattle against
Washington ended in a quick three
game sweep. Washington, which
has become a national contender,
used 15 kills from Sanja Tomasevic
to help seal the victory over the
Ducks, one night after the Huskies
clinched their second consecutive
Pac-10 championship.
“We kind of controlled them the
first two games, and I challenged
them to stay connected emotionally
because you can drop off, and little
things can happen,” Washington
coach Jim McLaughlin said. “This
game, the ebbs and flows, they are
happening all of the time. We held
them off and beat that team in three
— it was a good win. ”
In the first two games, Washing
ton took early leads of 13-4 and 10
1, respectively.
When Oregon finally recovered,
taking the lead in game three,
Washington tied the score at 11
with a Duck error and a Tomasevic
kill. After four more ties, the
Huskies went ahead 16-15. Wash
ington expanded its lead to 25-20
and finished the match with back
to-back blocks from Christal Mor
rison and Brie Hagerty. Oregon
hurt itself in the last game with 11
attack errors.
Djuric had 10 kills and freshman
libero Katie Swoboda dug 17 balls.

IN BRIEF
Club soccer claims
championship trophy
The men’s club soccer team came
away with the Open Division champi
onship trophy in the Men’s Collegiate
Club Soccer National Tournament that
took place in Hiscaloosa, Ala., over
the weekend.
After finishing the regular season
with a perfect record of 4-0 by a com
bined score of 21-3, the men’s team
had high expectations heading into the
tournament and they certainly did not
end up disappointing themselves.
The team went 6-0 in the tourna
ment with a goal differential of 17-1.
They easily breezed past their first
group of competitors which included
Georgia Tech, Southeastern Louisiana
and Wisconsin. They then defeated
Georgia Southern in the quarterfinals
and went on to face Arizona in the
semifinals. The team surrendered its
lone goal, but defeated the Wildcats by
a score of 5-1.
In the final, Oregon shut out Cal
Berkeley and won the championship
game 2-0.
Four Oregon players made the
All-Tournament team: tournament
MVP Bryan Mikolaitis, goalkeeper
Patrick Drake, Zach McManus and
Eric Richards.
The team was unable to compete
for the national title because current
ly there is no regional tournament in
the Northwest. Club coordinator
Patrick Drake hopes the team will be
able to play in the main tournament
next year by practicing before school
begins in order to compete in the Cal
ifornia regional league. The academ
ic calendar forces the men’s team to
start competition late into the season
because most other schools start at
the end of August.
Until then, the team will remain
proud of the fact that it was undefeat
ed all year and outscored their oppo
nents 38-4. The team now looks for
ward to competing in the indoor
soccer season beginning winter term.

Basketball: Undefeated teams
meet when Ducks face Pacific
Continued from page 5
28-21 lead, the Ducks went on an 9-5
run to close the half with a 37-26 lead.
Oregon managed 22 points in the paint
compared with Bowie State’s eight.
“Our inside presence continues to
grow,” Oregon coach Ernie Kent said.
“Ray (Schafer) and Ivan (Johnson)
played extremely well in there. ”
Leunen scored the first eight Oregon
points in the second half, including
two three pointers, to help the Ducks
build a 45-31 lead less than three min
utes into the second half. From there,
the Ducks made 17 of 18 free throws
and used a hounding defense to keep
the game out of reach.
Four other Oregon players finished
in double digits, led by Johnson’s 14
points. Brandon Lincoln tied his ca
reer-high with 12 points, Aaron Brooks
had 11 and Malik Hairston added 10.
The Ducks shot 43.1 percent from
the field.
“In a ball game we didn’t shoot the
three well, I thought we had another
good game defensively,” Kent said.
“Maarty Leunen got us going a little bit
in the second half with the threes ...
and we gave ourselves a chance to
take control of the game with our free
throw shooting.”
Derick Payne led the Bulldogs with
21 points along with Thomas Hawkins
who had 14. Bowie State shot 38.8 per
cent from the field and 36.4 percent (8
of 22) from three-point range.
“Defensively, I thought they (the
Ducks) were great,” Kent said. “We
just needed to make some shots.”
The Ducks play their third game of
the Hispanic College Fund Classic in a
row tonight before taking on Rice at
home on Saturday — a game which is
not a part of the tournament. The
Ducks then hit the road to face Vander
bilt before returning home for the final
game of the tournament against
Georgetown on Saturday Dec. 3.
Tonight the Ducks will face Pacific,
last season’s Big West Champion. Led
by senior Christian Maraker, die Tigers
are coming off a 27-4 record in 2004-05
and a berth into the NCAA Tourna
ment where they beat Pittsburgh 79-71
in the first round before bowing out
against Washington 97-79 in the
second round.
“They (Pacific) are a very well
coached team,” Kent said. “They’ve
got three great guards to shoot the ball
extremely well. It’s going to be a good
match-up for us.”
Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
