sports Beavers fall to Ducks, 80-66 Women earn third victory over rivals By TAMARA SWENSON Of th« Emerald An outstanding defensive ef fort by Oregon’s women’s bas ketball team, coupled with two 15-foot jumpers by Diane Heim stra, gave the Ducks the edge they needed to pull out a 80-66 victory over Oregon State University. Oregon is now 7-0 in league play and 17-5 for the season, and has three victories over OSU this season. The first half gave Oregon a fistful of problems, as the Beavers shut the Ducks out during the last two minutes to tie the score at 39. “After halftime we went out there like it was a whole new ballgame, zero-to-zero,” said Heimstra, who finished the game with 12 points. The second half began on a positive note, as the Ducks matched OSU’s first basket and collected a techincal foul on the OSU bench. The one-point bas ket by Bev Smith, who finished with 11 points and 15 rebounds, was followed by four more points, putting Oregon ahead for good. The Beavers remained close, though, as OSU’s 6-5 center standout Carol Menken, who finished with a game-high 32 points and 10 rebounds, kept the Beavers within shooting distance for the first 10 minutes. Debbie Adams, Oregon’s high scorer with 26 points, kept the Ducks ahead. But with 9:46 to play, Heimstra put in 10 points, eight on long jumpers from 15 feet out, while the Beavers could only answer with four. ‘‘I just knew we had to get moving,” Heimstra said. “That’s our job," said Ma ryAnn Stoican, who added five points. “The bench is suppose to come in and make things happen.” Heimstra, Stoican and Meg Jones, who went against Men ken for most of the second half, alt did an "excellent job setting things in motion," said Oregon coach Elwin Heiny. “MaryAnn (Stoican) saw little playing time, but she played well. “It’s an indication of the depth we have,” Heiny said, who was especially pleased with Jones’ play. “Anyone we put on the floor you have to guard.” Oregon State’s woes were compounded as the Duck defense pressed them against the 30-second clock, forcing an OSU team turnover with eight minutes to play. "We wanted to step up the defense in the second half — and we did,” Heiny said. “We knew we had to do a very good defensive job." The final four minutes belonged to Oregon, as the Ducks put in 10 points but held the Beavers to four. After the game, Adams auto graphed copies of the program in a team room and talked about meeting the same team four times a season. "I’m kinda tired of playing them," she said. “In stead of just a game, playing OSU is a big deal to everybody." "It's always important when we meet,” said OSU coach Aki Hill. "We’re the two best teams in the league and the second team really has to dig." The Beavers dug deep into their repertoire of plays, but de spite keeping close, the Ducks were able to pull out their third win over OSU this season.
