sports_ Women claim two easy wins Two games and two 30-point victories keyed the weekend as Oregon’s women's basketball team easily claimed wins over Washington State (79-49) and Eastern Washington (81-50). “We were able to play with intensity throughout,” said Oregon coach Elwin Heiny after Saturday’s victory over EWU. “But it's really hard when the game is decided so early to still keep the intensity.” Oregon, which has a 9-0 league and 20-5 season record after the two conference wins, quickly established its dominance in both games. Against the Cougars, Oregon jumped to a 18-2 lead before WSU got their second basket. At the half, Oregon lead 42-22 and claimed the first eight points of the second period. "Our height really does things to people we play,” said Bev Smith, who finished with 16 points against WSU and 19 against EWU. Blocks were definitely a factor as Smith and Alison Lang combined for 11, with Lang knocking down seven. But the Cougars even had trouble getting across the time line as Oregon's guards maintained a full-court press for most of the game. Against the EWU Eagles, Oregon again came out strong, gunning to a 9-2 lead. With four minutes left in the half, no Duck starters remained in the game as Oregon claimed a 37-22 halftime lead. Oregon came out even stronger in the second period, grabbing the first six baskets on steals and fast breaks. Heiny substituted freely, but Oregon still jumped ahead 69-29 with eight minutes to play. "We rise to the occasion,” said guard Angie Snider, who added 14 points in both games. "When you know your playing a team that’s not quite up to your caliber you play to win, but bad habits can emerge. “But it (playing weaker teams) is giving a lot of people confidence — confidence that there are people who can come off the bench and play a tough team,” says Snider. "It’s giving us all, everyone, confidence in each other." Photo by Steve Dykes Bev Smith (left) and Alison Lang (right) combined to block out WSU's Jeannie Eggart Friday. Everyone played at least 15 minutes in the two games. “People get playing time because they deserve it,” said Heiny. “I don’t want to single anyone out because a lot of them played well. In fact, everyone did." WWWWWWWWWWWWWWtri ON BIG PRINT REDUCTIONS! Eugene Print's Xerox 1860 printer can reduce originals as large as 36" wide down to 18"—on white or 5 colors of bond paper.
