Ducks can’t overlook Beavers
Women ready
for tough battle
By Steve Turcotte

There's no need to warn assis
tant coach Bev Bland and the
11th-ranked University of Oregon
women's basketball team. They
know that if they overlook Oregon
State they could be in for a long
evening
The Ducks, who face Oregon
State tonight at 7:30 p m in
McArthur Court, will have to be at
their best if they plan to beat the
Beavers And Bland will attest to
that
"We are expecting a tough
game from them in spite of how
much we beat them by last time
we played (a 65-48 win at the
Giusti Classic in December),’’
Bland says They are really
balanced this year They have
really killed teams this season
with a different style than last
year
' last season they had Carol
Menken (former Beaver 6-8 All
American) This season they have
to be more balanced They are
playing the same defense and a
similar offense, but they are get
ting more out of different posi
tions "
Oregon should be ready to
play The Ducks just returned
from the Pizza Hut Classic in Wi
chita. Kan , where they took third
place Oregon faced top-quality
compeition in the Classic and
should be ready to tackle Oregon
State
The Beavers, meanwhile, have
been beating up on their oppo
nents — although their opponents
have not been first-class Oregon
State's last five game scores look
something like this 98-47,
117-58, 59-49, 88-53 and
103-64 But keep in mind the
opponents — Pacific Christian.

played great teams, the scores
which they win by should give
them confidence,” Bland says of
the Beavers
But there is one thing about the
Beavers which worries Bland a
little
"They have a very good half
court press — a tough press,”
says the Ducks assistant.
'Against Texas in the Pizza Hut (a
66-63 loss in the semifinals) we
were hurt by a press Their press
cost us the game We've been
working on it in practice and I
ttiink we're ready.”
Senior All-American Bev Smith
and center Alison Lang continue
to dominate the statistics for
Oregon Smith leads the team in
scoring at 19 7 points and 12.3
rebounds per outing, while Lang
is second in both categories at
17.9 and 11.1 In addition, Lang
has rejected 38 opponent shots
Injuries continue to plague the
Ducks. Just when reserve center
Helen Higgs comes back from an
injured foot, guard Lisa Vetter
goes down with a stress fracture a
week ago, and now, starting for
ward Chris Metzger may miss the
game with a stress fcracture,
“We ll see this afternoon what the
doctor report is,” Bland says
If Metzger is unable to suit up,
the Ducks will look to the bench in
the form of sophomore Alison
Bernhardt.
"If Chris can’t play, we are
optimistic because Alison has
played very well lately," Bland
said. "She has been fairly consis
tent the past few games. I think
she can handle it.”
