Seattle ‘scrimmages’ past Oregon, 81-79
By TAMARA SWENSON
Ol th« Emerald
Playing an intrasquad scrim
mage is one thing, scrimmaging
against a tough and determined
opponent can be another.
Oregon’s women’s basketball
team approached Sunday’s
non-counting game against the
Seattle Seabaskets as a “scrim
mage,” said Oregon coach El
win Heiny. But Seattle doused
Oregon’s hopes for victory with
a last-second basket at the
buzzer to win, 81-79.
“We could of easily beaten
them,” Heiny said. “But we were
trying to prove a point — that our
reserves could go in and pull it
out."
For most of the game, it
looked like Oregon would do
just that. The Ducks opened the
game with two points by fresh
man guard Angie Snider, who
. finished the game with 14 points
and nine rebounds.
But Seattle grabbed the lead
with two straight field goals,
14-16, five minutes into the
game, playing a full-court press
defense to keep the Ducks
under control.
With five minutes left in the
half, the Seabaskets gained a
seven-point lead, 30-23.
Oregon, led by freshman center
Allison Lang (who finished with
15 points and 14 rebounds),
scored the half's final 10 points
to pull ahead 33-30.
Ducks help OSU vault to No. 1
Although its dual meet win
ning streak was halted at six, not
all was lost for the Oregon
women’s gymnastics team in
Friday night's 146.20-138.15
loss to Oregon State Univer
sity.
The Ducks came out of the
Civil War at McArthur Court with
a season-high team score, a
career best of 34.35 from
freshman Maureen Nolan in the
all-around and a boost from
junior Dawn Haberland, who re
turned for her first meet since
shoulder surgery in December.
The Beavers, ranked fourth in
the nation, effectively used the
Ducks as a springboard to set a
school record and establish the
nation’s best team score this
season.
Oregon coach Henriette
Heiny was pleased with the
Ducks performance. “We beat
our goal tonight and I’m very
happy with that. We’ve just
scratched the surface and I like
our attitude, even though we
were going against one of the
top teams in the country.”
Three reasons the Beavers
are among the collegiate elite
are Laurie Carter, Mary Ayotte
and Pam Bond.
Carter won the all-around
(36.95), while Ayotte took the
floor exercise (9.55) and placed
second (9.25) on the balance
beam behind Carter (9.6). Bond
took sixth in the all-around
(34.00) on the strength of win
ning the uneven bars (9.45).

Tennis team
loses opener
Oregon’s women's tennis
team opened their 1981 season
Saturday with a 6-3 loss to
Oregon State University in Cor

provided all of the Duck’s scor
ing as each won her individual
match and combined in doubles
to beat OSU’s Deanne Larsell
and Mary Ivancie.
Oregon will host University of
Montana Feb. 14.
Economic problems kept
many of last year’s participants
from Northern California at
home, said Oregon men’s
coach Rich Schleicher. Only
two came last weekend, com
pared to 20 in 1980, Schleicher
said.
George Koch led the Ducks
with wins in the 200 breast
(2:13.01), 50 free (22.01), 100
breast (1:00.38) and 200 IM
(1:59.55). Oregon’s Sam Glass
won the 100 free (47.2) and 200
free 1:44.68, while teammate
Jeff Morgan took the 200 fly
(1:56.95) and 100 fly (53.12).
Tama Cuddeback paced
Oregon’s women's team with
victories in the 100 breast
(1:09.85) and 200 breast
(2:27.62). Kathy Hemmer was
Oregon’s only other individual
winner with a 2:07.21 time in the

The Ducks were led by Nolan
and junior Sara Gustafson, who
tied for fourth in the all-around
(34.35). Haberland took third on
the balance beam (9.1) and
sixth in the vault (8.75).
Oregon’s next meet is Friday
against Stanford in McArthur
Court.
Most of the second half
belonged to Oregon as the
Ducks slowly accumulated a
12-point lead with 1:38 left to
play.
Heiny then substituted the
last of the Oregon bench to fin
ish out the game.
Unfortunately, the Duck
bench couldn’t get past Seattle,
allowed two three-point plays to
tie the game, and turned the ball
over with eight seconds left to
give Seattle a chance to win.
And at the buzzer, Seattle's
5-1 guard Sheila Collins put in a
jumper from 20-feet out to end
the game.
“I have to compliment Elwin
(Heiny) on giving his reserves
an opportunity to play in that
situation," said Seabasket
coach Susan Curtin-Miller. "But
we beat the University of
Oregon. It was an important win
for us.”
Statistically the game
belonged to the Ducks, who
shot 50.7 percent from the floor
and 68.7 percent from the line.
Oregon outrebounded Seattle,
53-35, had more steals, 9-6, and
blocked more shots, 9-7.
Oregon’s Bev Smith finished
with 18 points, while Seattle’s
high scorer, Margaret Nielsen,
had 20 points.
“We’ve had a couple of
games where we stuck the re
serves in there and the score
went whoosh,” said Heiny as his
hand traced an imaginary ski
slope.
"We needed to show the re
serves how important it is for
them to play well,” said Heiny.
"But perhaps more importantly,
that we ll stick with the people
we have in.”
