The Oregon women’s basketball team
picked this weekend to relax, but Washington
showed the Ducks that Hec Edmunson
Pavillion on Saturday night is not the most
restful place in the world.
The Huskies stormed the Ducks in the se
cond half of the NorPac conference contest to
ease out an 83-67 win. Washington went into
the locker room at the half down 42-36, but the
Huskies came back out to blitz the Ducks 17-4
in the opening minutes of the second half. Dur
ing that stretch, the Ducks shot a measley
2-for-8 from the floor and turned the ball over
four times.
“We didn’t have the intensity to win,"
understated Oregon coach Elwin Heiny.
The Ducks lack of intensity showed with
30 turnovers. And the Huskies stayed with
Ducks on the boards, snagging almost the
same number as Oregon.
The Huskies victory Saturday is the first in
12 games against the Ducks.
Alison Lang and Helen Higgs paced the
Ducks with 21 and 13 points respectively.
Higgs grabbed 12 rebounds and Lang dished
off throe assists. Karen Murray, with 25 points
and nine rebounds, and Rene Avelino with 19
points and seven rebounds led the Huskies
The loss dropped the Ducks to 8-3 in
league action, and bumped them into a tie with
California for second place. The Huskies mov
ed up to a tie for fourth with San Jose State and
gives them a chance at making the final four
conference tourney March 5-6, in Eugene.
The loss marred what could have been a
good road trip for the Ducks. Two days earlier
Oregon slapped Washington State with an
86-70 loss.
Lang and Chris Metzger led the Ducks —
Lang with a game high 30 points in just 26
minutes of game time and Metzger with 25
points, 10 rebounds and six assists in 31
minutes.
“We played well Thursday and did not play
well Saturday,” was ail Heiny could muster
about the road trip.
Heiny will try and use a 10-day break to
tune the Ducks up for Oregon State and the up
coming conference tournament.
Blazers pick up fourth straight
PORTLAND (AP) - Jim Pax
son scored 26 points and Calvin
Natt added 22 to lead the Port
land Trail Blazers to their fourth
straight victory, a 104-95 Na

Bullets Sunday night.
Natt scored 14 of his 22 points

Natt then had two free throws, a
layup and a short jump shot to
boost Portland's lead to 10.
The Blazers led by as many as
16 points in the final quarter, but
the Bullets closed to within
seven by converting on five
three-point field goal attempts.
Paxson scored seven points late
in the quarter.
It was the 16th victory in 23
games for the Blazers, now
33-21 in the NBA's Pacific Divi
sion. Portland is eight games

sion leader.

Atlantic Division, 21 games
