The Oregon women's basketball team begins its most impor
tant weekend of NorPac: Conference pluv tonight when it hosts
Washington State University at 7:30 p.m. at McArthur Court.
The Ducks then host the conference leading University of
Washington Huskies Saturday at fi p.m. in a showdown for the Nor
Pac's automatic berth to the NCAA tournament.
When the Ducks. 18-fi overall and 7-1 in the NorPac. traveled
to the state of Washington, they squeaked past WSU in OH-B7 in
overtime, but lost ti‘l t>8 to the Huskies in a tough overtime battle
"We know the teams (WSU and Washington}, and we know
how they play,” Oregon coach El win Heiny says. "Each player in
dividually wants to show that we an: a laitter team than what we
showed last time.”
Heiny is hoping that home court advantage comes Into play
this weekend, as his team boasts a perfect fl-0 record in games
played at McArthur Court this season
"I definitely feel we play, bettor at home.". Heiny says The
coach considersliis team almost 20 points better playing at McAr-'
thur Court. . * . '• .
I lespite.Oregon's domination of its'.-.opponents within the.
friendly Confines of. McArthur Court". Heinv isn't about h> overlook
either df the Washington -schools. .. -.. [•' ■ . '•"•••
"It i's important for us to realize that both teams can lasal us.,”.
Heiny said.."It is going to h6 difficult ioploy; WSU the Right before;
knowing that the Washington game 4s so Important.” - ■> '
The Ducks will, however, be without the'servic es of spunky
5-foo! 4 guard Carol Drouet. Drouet sustained a tear of the anterior
cruciate ligament of her left knee near the end of the San |ose State
University game Feb. 14.
Drouet's injury is almost identical to the one suffered by Kenny
Sprague of the Oregon men’s team and will sideline her from action
fur six to nine months.
"Drouet's injury is a definite loss for us and will leave an effect
on the team for sure.” Heiny says. "She gave us an added spark
and got us going a lot of times. She was clearly our most aggressive
player and probably the quickest."
Drouet played in all 23 games this season, starting in It) and
averaging .1.5 points per contest. But Drouet's true value to the
team was as a floor leader ami a fiesty defensive player in the
Ducks' full-court press. She was third on the team in assists with H3
and fourth in steals with 28.
Heiny was looking forward to pressing both teams this
weekend, but with Drouet's absense he now is unsum.
The Cougars. tM3 overall and 2-4 in the: conference, are led by
forward Marc ia Miles and guard Pal Broaden. Miles, the NorPac's
top scarrnr. is averaging 17.3 points per game, while Broaden is
averaging an even 13 points per contest. Both players am deadly
jH*rimeter shooters. Heiny says.
The conference-leading Huskies. 1?t-3 for the season and 7-0 in
the: NorPac:. am led by Yvette t iole. who comes off the: bench to lead
tin: team in scoring with 11 8 points per game.
Washington is presently enjoying a nine-game winning streak
and has won 2t-straigh! conference games. Its last loss was to
Oregon in the 1084 NorPac Tourney.
