Bourn continues amazing three-point barrage
On <i day of basketball games that may have
seemed more exciting, a thrilling storm of women's
hoops brewed in Corvallis' (’.ill Coliseum
Sunday was featured as a basketball junkie's
dream: the first meeting between the first and second
ranked men’s college teams in years, a traditional
matchup involving many of the world’s best basketball
players, and an overtime c liffhanger which may have
decided the winner of the men’s Pacific-10 Confer
ence.
A game that went virtually unnoticed by all ex
cept those 1,020 in attendance and the television audi
ence watching the game on tape delay Monday night
was Sunday’s meeting of the (Jregon and Oregon State
women’s teams at Corvallis
If you stayed at home with your remote control to
watch No. 1 UNI.V beat No.2 Arkansas. Charles Hark
ley grab 22 rebounds and the NBA All-Star Game's
MVP trophy, and UCLA choke away a win against Ari
zona, then you missed a remarkable Duck win on the
Beavers’ home court, and an even more outstanding
performance from Oregon guard lenniter Bourn
Not to say that Sunday’s clash between the two in
terstate rivals was anticipated to come down to the last
shot as it did After all. Oregon State had come into
Eugene a month earlier and mopped McArthur Court
with the Ducks. 74-5H. But prior to the second meet

ing hand was fit to lie bronzed
The li-foot-4 senior was four of six from three
point land in Oregon's Ian U win over Arizona and
followed th.it up by hitting everything in a win over
Arizona State two nights later Well almost every
thing She did miss one three-pointer out of eight at
tempts against the Sun Devils, but the seven treys she
did hit was good enough to he.it her two-month old
school record of six.
Following the Arizona State victory, a reporter
asked Bourn how she felt about breaking her school re
cord
“I did? I did?" a surprised Bourn responded "I
didn't know that Wow. I'm exi Bed!"
What will liven the senior even more is the very
real possibility of topping Oregon's three point single
season record for a player Michelle Kble. a former
teammate ot Bourn's Ini -11 troys during the 1088-80
