Women hoopsters
riding a big wave
The Oregn women's basketball team IS riding a big wave
right now. Don't stand In their way.
Quietly, the Ducks have constructed a 20-6 season
record and alter last Saturday s thumping of the University
of Washington bolstered their florPac record to a first-place
91. better yet. If the Ducks can win their remaining two
games, an NCAA tournament berth should be automatic.
The key phrase here is should be automatic.
. A. possible NCAA berth Is exciting. Isn't It? There is little
dpubt the Ducks deserve It. they've proven themselves with
. an explosive offense which hits like a guSt.of cold winter

with if they can side step any more injuries.
As ol Saturday the Due ks were a squad heavy with
talent but lac king a point guard. It was just two weeks ago
that guards Carol Drouct and Tammy Richard could be retted
upon to provide the spunk and ball-handling needed to push

Richard in particular was the team leader in steals and
