Oregon’s women's basketball
team revived the old balancing
act Sunday evening in McArthur
Court.
With five players in double
figures, the Ducks, 11-5 for the
season, easily outdistanced
Louisiana State University
100-82.
"We had good balance ton
ight," said Duck coach Elwin
Heiny. "I think basically we just
wore them down. our fast
breaking and rebouding just did
them in."
Oregon alternated between
the full-court and half-court
press to force LSU into turn
overs and early foul trouble.
Allison Towriss and Bev Smith
combined for 9 steals while the
Ben-Gals accumulated 25 fouls
and 15 turnover
The Ducks, shooting 494
percent from the floor, balanced
their attact with 16 points from
Diane Hiemstra, Smith and Mary
Ann Stoican, 14 from Debbie
Adams and 12 points from Ali
son Lang
Oregon attempted to break
away from LSU early, but the
Ben-Gals wouldn’t give in.
Leading 39-32 with 3:39
remaining in the first half, the
Ducks scored 12 of the next 16
points to post a 51-36 halftime
lead.
“I think we were really ready
to come out and play,” said
Stoican, a 6-0 forward. “We
knew that they were good. But
we were just ready to play them.
They are a good team, so we
played good.”
Oregon and LSU met once
prior to Sunday’s contest, in the
opening round of the Queen's
Classic in Plainsview, Texas.
The Ducks easily prevailed,
83-67, but the Ben-Gals' guard
tandem of Jackie White and
Joyce Walker gave Oregon fits
And Sunday it was no excep
tion
White and Walker combined
for 50 points and fourteen
rebounds to once again make
life hard for Oregon. But other
than the two guards, both
freshman, the Ben-Gals lacked
depth.
“LSU is a very good team,”
said Heiny. "They do have their
strengths but also they have
their weaknesses. White and
Walker are very hard to stop, but
someone like Bev, who is tall
and can control the ball, can
stop them."
Stoican was also quick to
praise the two LSU guards.
"White and Walker are very
good It's too bad they don't
have other people on the team
like them.”
Saturday night, Oregon
decked the Boise State Broncos
90-41 to claim its first Northwest
Women’s Basketball League
victory.
The Ducks, who were never
threatened by the outmanned
Broncs, were led by Smith's 27
points and nine rebounds.

‘Second half saves wrestlers
Oregon wrestling coach Ron
Finley calls the top five weight
classes on his squad "Phase 2”
and they made the difference in
a 30-15 decision over Washing
ton State at McArthur Court
Sunday.
Oregon nur-„d an 11-9 lead
after the first five weight
classes, but then received wins
from Rick O’Shea, Jeff Stueb
ing, Mike Miller and Dan Cook
down the stretch to finish the
Cougars.
"We call our upper weights
Phase 2’ and they are our
strength,” beamed Finley after
the eighth-ranked Ducks began
a five-meet home stand that
continues Friday against Cen
tral Washington.
Oregon is coming off a six
meet read trip that produced
five wins, including an upset of
fourth-ranked Cal Poly-San Luis
Obispo.
Stuebing, 11-0 this season,
decisioned the Cougar’s John
Bliss, brother of former Oregon
all-American Scott Bliss, 11-9 in
the 167 class.
“(Stuebing) started out well
but didn’t keep the pressure
up,” said Finley. "But John Bliss
is tough and in the third period
it’s always tough."
Stuebing’s win was followed
by Miller’s pinning of Tim Paul in
the 177 division while it took
Cook 2’/2 minutes to pin Jeff
Lingren in the heavyweight
match. O’Shea outpointed the
Cougar’s Don Hanson I8-9 in
the I58 class.
“I was real pleased with
O’Shea.” said Finley. “He went
right after his guy. We’ve got
some guys doing a fine job day
in and day out for us.”
The Ducks started slow when
Washington State’s Brian Higa
decisioned Mike Erb 14-10 in the
118 division and Scott Valley took
the 126 class over the Ducks
Miles Hancock 8-7.
Then Oregon’s Cliff Porter
recorded a pin to take the 134
division and Bill Nugent pinned
the Cougar’s Verner O'Quin.
