Adams was a little tentative to move to the
middle position, but is now glad the ( hunge was
made
"I was a right side plaver and it wasn't the
best thing for me I mm ause it didn't Utilize nn ■ 1 b 11
ities to the fullest " said the ti-lool Adams Iron)
Irvine. Oalit And now w ere doing belter tier
r\ made the dec ision to pul me in the middle
which is a good decision
(uegurv is very impressed with Adam's pla\
in the middle even though he knew she was ten
tative at the beginning ol the season
At the beginning of the year. I think she
was skeptii .11 as to her abilities to hloi k middle
Oregon said "She really didn't think of herself
as ,1 middle blocker in college, but she's more
than bolding her own
(ihurroin. on the other hand, has always been
a middle hloi ker for Oregon and with good rea
son
The (i-foot I powerhouse from Huntington
Bench, Cali' has led the team in kill-- It) times
tins year and had a t.areer and team season high
of 2K kills against California last month
Besides earning all tournament honors earli
er this season .it the I.adv I 'to (llassit in Salt Lake

Oharroin is second in blocks lor the Ducks with
u I per game and third in digs v\ ith a 2 fit) mark
"She was stru tly a middle attac ker and now
she not onl\ hits middle hut also hits outside.
Cregory s.iul "So her responsibilities have
broadened Also her responsibilities from a do
tensive and a passing standpoint have ini leased
"We would sub her out from time to time last
veal and this vent we gist haven't had to do it.
Charroin admits doing some things bettei
this year, hut tools she is lai king a little offensive
ly
Last veai I blocked better I’m doing some
things better this year than last year things that
aren't as notue.ihle like passing Charruin s.ud
I'm passing a lot hettei and pluy ing defense a lot
bettei but I'm not hitting as well as I could and
should
f rom talking with Adams and Charroin. one
would think they were related Both middle at
tai keis are so similar as lai as attitude and ability
are i one erned
"I think Mindee and I are both exactly the
same We want to win and vse show tt more than
other people and we re both very aggressive
Charrnin said "On the court it giv os oft a dittor
out impression than here we are off the i ourt. be
i arise oft the < ourt we re goons
Adams and Charroin both agree that their ag
gressive nature has sometimes given oil the
w rung impression
