Regionals await Duck
cagers

After walloping every league foe this
season, Oregon’s women’s basketball
team goes back to 0-0 for the regional
tournament in Missoula, Montana.
The Ducks, ranked 12th nationally with
a 23-5 season and 11-0 league record,
will be chasing a berth to nationals
Saturday and Sunday during the Region
9 playoffs. Oregon is the defending
Region 9 champ.
And it looks like another Oregon
State-Oregon matchup in the final.
The Beavers will open the tournament
Saturday against host Montana, followed
by the Ducks against Washington. Both
Oregon schools downed their opponents
earlier this season.
Winners of the Saturday games will
meet Sunday in the championship game.
Everyone expects a contest between the
league’s two top-seeded teams.
“OSU and we have a friendly competi
tion going,” says Oregon coach Elwin
Heiny. "I look for a good game, a tough
game, if we meet.”
The competition may be friendly at one
level, but it is a fierce battle on the court
every game. The Ducks have won the last
six meetings with the Beavers, but
Oregon’s last loss to OSU came in the
Region 9 final two years ago. Oregon
downed OSU 68-67, 73-64 and 80-66 this
year.
"We remember Bozeman (Montana,
site of the 1979 regionals), two years
ago," says Heiny. "We were overcon
fident in that game. That won’t be a
problem this time around. We have a
realistic understanding of how close the
game could be."
"We’re prepared to play aggressive
ly," says OSU coach Aki Hill. "Especially
against Oregon
"Sometimes we’ve been intimidated
by them, especially our last game,” says
Hill. "But I feel we’ve overcome that type
of struggling and are ready to beat
them."
“We didn’t even play our best against
them last time and we beat them,” says
Oregon guard Allison Towriss. "Every
game could possibly be our last now so
we’ll play it that way — as tough as we
can.”
The Ducks will play the Huskies at 2:30
p.m. (PST). OSU and Montana will meet
in the other semi-final contest at 12:30
p.m.
Sunday’s final game is scheduled for
12:30 p.m., while the consolation game is
set for 10:30 p.m.

Women prep
for top-ranked
gymnastic foe
University of Utah, the na
tion’s top-ranked women’s
gymnastics team, will meet
Oregon’s squad Saturday at 8
p.m. in McArthur Court.
The match, part of a coed
meet with the men facing
Portland State, is expected to
be a good test of Oregon’s
gymnasts.
Utah has posted the nation’s
top score this season (150.2)
and are led by all-arounder
Christa Canary, who has the
third highest score in the
country (37.6).
The Utes only loss this season
was to fourth-ranked Cal State
Fullerton, 146.55-146.40.
Utah brings an 24-1 record
into the meet.
Oregon, 11-4 this season, is
still hobbled with the loss of
all-arounders Maureen Nolan
and Chris Krueger to injury.
“We lost a lot of talent
because of injuries, but the rest
of the squad has done a good
job filling in,” says coach Hen
riette Heiny.
