Ducks face tough contests against Cal, Stanford By Dennis Fernandes Of the t'.merald The Oregon women’s basketball team faces a “must-win” situation this weekend when it rounds out the first half of the Pacific- to Conference action against the University of California at Berkeley and against Stanford University. After spending four of the last five games on the road and looking to a four-game swing starting next week, the Ducks will be feeling fortunate when they host Cal tonight at 7:30 p.m. within the friendly con fines of McArthur Court. The last time Oregon hosted a league game, it was an easy 83-63 win over University of Arizona, propell ing the Ducks into a showdown against the two Los Angeles schools with an unblemished league record. Since then, they have won only one of four league games. Now at 4-3 in the league and 12-5 overall, Oregon currently is lodged in a three-way tie for fourth place with Oregon State University and the University of California at l.os Angeles. The Golden Bears. 11-5 overall and 3-4 in league play, are another team that has been struggling of late, although they are the only team to defeat USC in league The Ducks will be facing one of the Pac-lO’s premier centers in Jennifer Bennett, who registered a school record 45 points against the Wildcats. Prior to that feat. Bennett was averaging 18.7 points and 10 re bounds a game and is the Pac-lO’s second-leading scorer and rebounder at 10.2 and 11.3 a contest. It will be an international night at Mac Court, with Cal sporting three double-figure scorers from Finland to counter Oregon's West German connection of Stefanie kasperski and Gabi Neumann. Seija Leino is the second-leading scorer at 12.9 points a contest, with An ja Heilman (11.3) and Mia kuusisto (10.1) rounding out Cal’s top scorers. The Bears appear to match up well against Oregon's 1-2-3 punch of Kasperski. Neumann and 6-foot-3 Kris Glidden. Along with Bennett’s scoring and rebounding potential. Amanda Ray adds further headache to the Ducks down low with 9.9 rebounds per contest. However. Oregon is tops in the conference with 49.4 team rebounds per game with Neumann leading the Ducks at R.l. Saturday night’s meeting with Stanford marks only the second game between these two schools (the last was in 1981, a 97-62 win for the Ducks). The Cardinal. 11-6 for the year, go into tonight’s game against the Beavers with a three-game winning streak.
