No. 19 Oregon Swept at No. 8 Cal
11/02/07 | Women's Volleyball
BERKELEY, Calif. ? Oregon's second opportunity to knock off a top-10 team this week was unsuccessful on Friday night in a three-game loss to No. 8 California (30-23, 30-28, 30-23) at Haas Pavilion.
The 19th-ranked Ducks, now on a three-match losing streak, fall to 16-9 overall and 5-8 in the Pacific-10 Conference. The Golden Bears, currently ranked eighth in the nation, improve to 19-5, 9-4 Pac-10.
Offensive efficiency was again a problem for Oregon. The team posted a .213 clip, but committed 19 attacking errors and nine service errors.
Junior Gorana Maricic was the only player for Oregon to reach double figures with 10 kills.
Sophomore Nevena Djordjevic had 18 assists and freshman Rachel Morris totaled 15, while junior Katie Swoboda led the Ducks with 13 digs.
It was the third time this season Oregon has been swept, with all of those losses coming in the Pac-10 (Stanford, Oct. 5 and USC, Oct. 12)
Cal was led by Angie Pressey (15 kills, .500, 11 digs) and Hana Cutura (11 kills). Ellen Orchard hit .571 with nine kills.
Offensively Cal hit .321 as team, and put down eight service aces.
The Ducks have five regular season matches left, returning to McArthur Court next Thursday with a 7 p.m. start against the Trojans. On Friday at 7 p.m., the UCLA Bruins will be in Eugene.
QUICK QUACKS: Head coach Jim Moore is now 13-36 in the Pac-10 during his Oregon tenure...Gorana Maricic's 476.5 points this year rank third in single-season history...her current average of 5.81 points per game would set a new Oregon single-season record...Maricic's 427 kills are eighth in single-season history...Katie Swoboda's 413 digs rank fifth in single-season history...the Portland native now has three single-season records in the top five...Heather Meyers' stretch of five consecutive matches with double figure kills ended at Cal...she totaled seven.
