Volleyball opens
ODAC schedule
with strong wins
TIM FORBES
staff writer
The women's volleyball team opened up its
ODAC schedule with three straight wins. They
did this in such dominating style that they swept
all three opponents in three games.
Guilford opened up conference play against a
consistent Bridgewater team. Coach McCracken
attributes the win to excellent defense. The Quak
ers rolled to a 15-12,15-3,15-10 victory.
The Quakers then played another good ODAC
team in Emory and Henry. Again, good defense
shut this team down as Guilford held them to a
total of twelve points in three games. "We served
aggressively and averaged 8 blocks a game," said
Coach McCracken.
Guilford is presently number one in the con
ference in blocking. This can be largely attrib
uted to senior Sara Johnson, who is leading the
ODAC in blocks.

The week was capped off when Guilford
went up to Sweet Briar. They finished
Sweet Briar off 15-5, 15-8, 15-5. They
went through Sweet Briar as easily as they
had the previous two teams.
"We are improving a 10t.... I think the
fact we played some tough teams in the start
has helped us to get better," said
McCracken.
Sophomore Amy Shores attributes suc
cess to the diversity of the team as well as
the tough schedule. "We can mix the line
up and still do a good job. We can adjust
to different situations."
The Quakers play an extremely difficult
ODAC schedule as it tries to make itself a
national contender again.

Let's check our record first and then get
straight to the games...
Last week: 7-6 (53%)
Season to Date: 21-12-1 (64%)
Washington State at Nebraska: Even
with the Nebraska program in turmoil,
they're not going to lose this game. Ne
braska 40, Washington State 18.
Clemson at N.C. State: Clemson-State
games are always a war, and this year will
be no exception. State needs this win to
get back on the right track and should pull
it out by 7.
Colorado at Oklahoma: The Buffs blew
out Oklahoma last year, and the Sooners
will want revenge at home. Colorado is
still flying high from last week's victory,
however, and will win, 38-20.
Navy at Duke: Duke plays all the ser
vice academies except for Air Force,
whose team is too good to appear on the
Devils' weak non-conference slate. Duke
by 12.
Ohio University at North Carolina: The
Like going to games?

lots of pictures. Please call x 2306 if interested.

Tarheels' season is over if they lose this one.
Ohio U. has absolutely no talent and UNC
should roll, 31-10.
Notre Dame at Ohio State: This might
actually end up being a good game, but it is
time for Ohio State to win a big game. They
pull it out by 3.
Washington at Oregon State: Washing
ton looks like a possible upset candidate in
the always unpredictable Pac-10., but I
think they're going to win anyway. Wash
ington 24, Oregon St. 17.
Wisconsin at Penn State: These two teams
didn't play each other last year, which is
something Wisconsin can be grateful for.
Penn State needs to kick into a higher gear
to repeat their Rose Bowl trip. Penn State
by 10.
Wake Forest at Virginia: What a mis
match! Wake Forest is a long way from
being competitive in the ACC. Unless the
Cavs take a day off, they'll prevail:3s-3.
And as always, the big game:
Davidson at Guilford: Even though
Davidson is in a higher division, the Wild
cats have not been very impressive this sea
son. Guilford improves to 2-1 with a 24-10
win.
