SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Class always shows, despite all the
adversity
The Oregon women’s basketball team displayed its usual fine
form, upending the University of Utah 65-60 Tuesday night
The Ducks had to fight questionable officiating and injuries to
two starters, as well as an inspired Utah team that is always tough at
home
"It was one of our better games, despite all the problems,” said
Oregon coach Elwin Heiny, whose team was forced to play without
Chris Metzger — out with a re-aggravated foot injury — and Alison
Lang, who missed a large part of the game when she sprained her
ankle in the second half. "We did what we had to do to get the win,
and I think that shows we are improving ”
Oregon came off a disastrous road trip against UCLA and USC
a week ago, where they faced questionable officiating and and stiff
competition, and ended up being blown out of both games in the
process
Against the Lady Utes, though, the Ducks didn’t let the
officiating, which Heiny reported as being worse than what they had
faced in Los Angles, get to them
"It was bad, especially in the first half, but no one complained. I
think that showed we learned from our experience in LA Everyone
came together and played above it,” said Heiny.
Oregon started out well, building a 10-point lead at one point,
but it dwindled down to only two points by half time, with the Ducks
ahead 27-25 Utah came on in the second half when Lang was
forced to the sideline, pulling ahead with 10 minutes left in the
game
Lang showed some true grit by returning to action with five
minutes left She immediately scored and was fouled, to tally a three
point play starting the Ducks' comeback. Oregon went ahead with
just a couple minutes left and was able to hold on for the win
Bev Smith carried the Ducks with Lang out of the game, and,
after being cold in the first half, she caught fire in the second half to
score 21 points and snag 14 rebounds Lang, inspite of her ankle,
matched Smith's statistics identically.
