Duck free throws beat OSU
By Steve Turcotte
Of the Emerald
CORVALLIS - When things
are offered to you free, it’s nat
ural to snatch them up quickly
And Thursday night, the
Oregon women's basketball
team did just that The Ducks,
offered 40 free-throw attempts
by the Oregon State Beavers,
converted on 31 of them en
route to a 71-59 Northwest
League victory at Gill Coliseum
“Our goal was to get the ball
inside and try and draw the
foul,' said Oregon coach Elwin
Heiny, after watching the
Beavers commit 30 fouls. "I
know Aki (Hill, the OSU coach)
was getting mad at the officials
at the beginning of the game
Women thrash Beavers 71-59
But I thought the calls were
correct."
Heiny was one of few in Gill to
think so
The officials, Norm Beck and
Cathy Peterson, whistled foul
after foul on the Beavers
Things got so bad for OSU that
star forward Robyn Clark had to
sit down with three fouls with
16:54 left in the first half And
with 13:59 remaining, the
Beavers went into the penalty
with seven fouls
Oregon quickly took
advantage of the opportunity
The Ducks hit on an amazing
24 of 28 free-throw attempts to
take a 36-27 first-half lead
Oregon hit on 6-of-28 from the
floor while OSU hit on 10-of-37
"Oregon State is a very ag
gressive team,’' said Oregon
senior all-American Bev Smith,
who played in her last game
with the Beavers “With some
officials, they don't get called,
but with others, like tonight,
they do get called
"It was very physical on top
and under the basket, but that's
just the way Oregon State
plays ”
Things did not look good for
the Ducks in the early going
Oregon missed shot after shot,
and let the Beavers take a 12-8
lead with 14 45 remaining in the
first half But the Ducks, behind
a string of 10 consecutive
freethrows, took a 20-17 lead
with 8:22 remaining
It was at that juncture in the
contest that OSU cener Jan
Martin picked up her third foul
and had to leave the game
Oregon scored the next eight
points to take a 28-19 lead
before the Beavers could find
the basket again
"I don’t think their pressure
defense really hurts us that
much,” Heiny said "But a lot of
our turnovers (29 for the game)
were silly and caused by a lot of
unforced errors on our part ”
The Ducks won the game with
a tremendous surge midway
through the second half
Leading 61-49, Oregon went
on a 10-2 spurt to assume a
71-51 lead, and it was proverbial
“garbage time” after that with
1 27 remaining
Mary Ann Stoican, who had
gone 0-7 from the floor in the
first half, came alive in the
second half to key the spurt
She hit on three shots to turn a
65-49 lead into a 71-51 Duck
advantage Stoican finished
4-for-9 from the floor
"It bothered me that we didn't
get our lead bigger than it was in
the second half.” Heiny said
"But it was pleasing that they
didn't come back on us "
Defensively. Oregon center
Alison Lang did a number on
Martin
Martin, who erupted for 25
points in the two teams' last
meeting, a 63-60 Duck win, was
held to 1-of-9 from the floor and
three points for the game She
fouled out with 13:38 remaining
to play
"We really didn't do anything
special on Jan, we just played
good, aggressive defense,
Heiny said ' Alison blocked a
couple of her shots early in the
game, and I think that kind of set
the tempo "
For the game, Oregon hit on
20 of 45 field goal attempts and
out-rebounded the Beavers
48-43 Oregon State connected
on 21-of-70 from the field and
17-of-22 from the line Lang led
all scorers with 30 points, Judy
Spoelstra led OSU with 20 But
Heiny warned that the road
ahead is still long
"The season s not over yet
said the Duck coach It seems
like none of the games are get
ting any easier "
Thursday night was a good
example of that
