your home for oregon sports news tuesday, october 12, 2010 VOLLEYBALL s Ducks finding footing Oregon struggles to find its rhythm early in the season, but head coach Jim Moore has high hopes

ANDY DRUKAREV SPORTS REPORTER

One third of the way through its Pac-10 Conference season, the Oregon volleyball team finds itself in the middle of the pack. The Ducks are in sixth place after a 3-3 start to conference play, with wins over Washington, Washington State and Arizona State, and losses to Cal, Stanford and Arizona. Given Oregon’s inexperience, Duck coach Jim Moore is pleased with his team’s performance to date. “We’re better than I thought,” Moore said. “We haven’t proven it the last two weeks but if you go back to where I was Aug. 1, I thought we were pretty good but we can be really, really good. I didn’t know that we were capable of the level we played at against Washington.” But higher expectations also mean increased scrutiny. Oregon blew a great opportunity to beat Arizona at home last weekend (the Wildcats came back from a 2-1 deficit), and questions persist about the confidence level and mindset of the team. “We need to be more focused,” Moore said. “We need to have more fight and more drive coming out.”

First Set Struggles Given the Ducks’ youth, it’s not a huge shock that Oregon is still trying to iron out the mental side of the game. Senior outside hitter Heather Meyers acts as the only upperclassman in the Ducks’ play- ing rotation, while two true freshmen (Lauren Plum and Ariana Williams) receive prominent playing time. That’s a possible explanation for a puzzling phenomenon. After winning the first set in 13 of their first 14 matches, the Ducks have lost the first set in their past four. alex mcdougall photographer Sure, Pac-10 foes Stanford, Cal, Arizona Oregon freshman middle blocker Ariana Williams goes up to hit a set from freshman setter Lauren Plum.
