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.

dropped a game to anyone,
compiling a 19-0 record.
Oregon State is led by center
Steve Johnson, who has aver
aged 20.2 points a game and
enjoyed 76-percent field goal
shooting accuracy.
Oregon counters with center
Mike Clark, whose 9.5 rebound
average leads the conference
and 16.2 scoring average leads
the team. John Greig (11.9) and
Felton Sealey (10.8) round out
Oregon’s double-figure
scorers.
According to Oregon coach
Jim Haney, the Ducks will try to
break OSU’s fast break and
neutralize Johnson.
"We have to go with the
premise that if Johnson gets the
inside game going, they’re not
going to miss,” Haney said.
