Duck women buck the Broncos
By Capi Lynn
»r the Kowrald
The Oregon women's basketball toam evened
its record at 4-4 when it bucked the visiting Bron
cos of Cal-Poly Pomona 80-70 Saturday night in
their home opener at McArthur Court.
The Ducks’ victory over the Broncos, last
year's NtlAA Division II national champions,
revenged a one-point loss that Oregon suffered to
the Broncos last season, and boosted head coach
Elwin Heiny's record to 9-1 in home openers.
"I am pleased to have won. considering that
the concentration on basketball is not always the
best during finals week,” lfeiny said. "Most of
our errors were pre-final jitters.”
Lauri tanderholm led the victors with 23
points, while Gabi Neumann connected on 10 of
12 shots to chip in 20 points. Amy Pettersen was
the only other Duck to reach double figures with
10 points for the night.
Landerholm. the Ducks’ 5-foot-10 guard, also
collected seven rebounds, four steals, and dished
out three assists to play a vital role in the victory.
Pettersen and Neumann battled underneath
to grab nine and eight rebounds respectively,
although the Ducks were outrebounded as a team
49-38.
Oregon jumped out to take the early advan
tage as freshman Shelly Kay scored on the Ducks'
opening possession. The Broncos countered with
two free throw conversions, but would enjoy the
tight game for only moments.
The Ducks claimed an 11-point lead with
Neumann paving the way, scoring eight points in
the first 6:30 minutes of the game.
Oregon led 17-6 before Cal Poly finally
managed to score a field goal. The Broncos finally
broke their drought with Paula Tozak's jumper
8:24 into the contest.
The Broncos put together a rally after that as
they chipped away at the Ducks' lead and soon
found themselves trailing by only one point.
19-18.
I^anderholm then came to the forefront with a
hot hand, scoring three consecutive buckets near
the end of the first half to dampen the Broncos
comeback.
Oregon carried a 39-30 lead into the lacker
room at the end of the half, a load that would
never l)e threatened for the remainder of the
game.
"We were lacking intensity in the first half."
Heiny admitted. "1 thought we could have
widened the lead and we didn't take advantage of
the opportunity.”
The Ducks took up where they left off In the
second half, with Landerholm's hot hand leading
the way as she scored 15 second-half points. Sue
Brown added to the cause scoring eight points in
the second half on six of nine from the free throw
line.
Oregon enjoyed a lead as large as 18 (mints in
the second half before the Broncos began to cut
away at the advantage. But the Ducks held bn and
walked away with the win.
"We were very glad to get the win because
they (C!al Poly) recently beat Fresno State Univer
sity. a team that received votes to be one of the
favorites in our conference,." Heiny said.
The Ducks shot a blistering .508 from the
field on the night, while* the Broncos, managed
only .388, which easily told the story of the game.
Oregon will play again this Saturday, in
McArthur Court at 5:00 p.m • when it * hosts
Brigham Young in a non-conference game. •
Life on the ‘road’ can be tough
By Allan lazn
IM thr Kmfralri
"There’s no place like home, there's no place
like home." Was that Dorothy as she clicked her
heels in the Emerald City or David Girley as he
got dressed in the basement locker room of McAr
thur Court?
. "It's great. It's like coming home again, like
you've been out in the war It's groat." Was that
General MacArthur in 1945 or Keith Balderston
talking about being back in Mac Court for a 81-59
win over the Wyoming Cowboys Saturday night?
Well, after doing time on the road for their
last three games (and three losses), it was un
doubtedly the Oregon men’s basketball team that
was more than relieved to finally see the
homeland again Saturday.
Locker Talk
On Dec 2, Oregon started a series of three
games on the road with a 69-68 loss to Texas
Tech, then followed with road losses to Northern
Arizona (86-61) and Notre Dame (72-63) to put
their record at 2-3 at the time.
N,ot only did the Ducks hit the road for three
straight games, but, starting with Rutgers at home
on Nov. 29, they had to play games on Friday,
Saturday. Monday. Wednesday and then again
Monday, Dec;. 9 (that's five games in 11 days and
three of them on the road).
“We didn’t play that poorly on the road,
either," Oregon coach Don Monson said. "We
didn’t get blown out or anything; we just had a
tough time winning two or three games. I think
particularity with a young club, an inexperienced
club, the road is tough."
But when the going gets tough, the tough
need to get going — if they intend to be going
anywhere after the regular season.
Last season, the 15-16 Duck sqaud went 4-8
on the road while the Fac-10 co-champions from
Washington, 22-10 overall, were 7-6 on the road
and USC. 19-10 overall, was 8-2.
But just what is this mystery of “the road,"
and what makes it so difficult to win "out there?"
"That’s a hard question." Balderston says. "I
don't really know what it is. Sometimes you
might almost psyche yourself out. You just have
to play better than you normally would."
“There really is only a small difference Det
ween teams anymore," Monson says. And the
reinforcement they get and the confidence thay
have when they are in familiar surroundings
Often, those hardest hit by "the road" are the
young players for whom the experience of travell
ing may be new.
In Saturday’s game with the Cowboys, play
ing in only their second road game this season, at
least one young player may have found the road
very unfriendly.
Wyoming freshman Marco Flaming,, who
earlier in the game was involved Jn an altercation .
with Osborn, was assessed.a technical" foul when
he charged off the bench to go after a'fan who',.
Fleming said, had yelled a'racial.slur at him .
“He was just an inexperienced. Immature* .
freshman, plus we were frustatred and Tiad a .bad
day," said Wyoming-coaGh-ilm^8randenbu#g;.—r: —
"This was our second (road game)..but you >‘
might think it was our first. We )ust got ourselves . °
very disorganized." said Brandenburg,' .whose
squad also lost their first toad game this year to
Colorado.

Players say it is easier to win at home, and An
thony Taylor is not doing to argue with that as
he goes over Wyoming's Sean Dent Saturday
night at McArthur Court where the Ducks beat
the Cowboys, 81-59.
