j Women to face Bruins, Trojans
By Sieve Mims
f mofakj Spots Hepolef
The Oregon women's basket
ball team liegins the second half
of the Pacific-10 Conference sea
son tonight hoping to improve
some ugly numbers.
The Ducks have lost ten con
secutive games — the longest
streak in school history. They
have a 13-game conference los
ing streak and are 0-9 in the con
ference this year.
Things won't get any easier
for Oregon this weekend when
the team faces Ifith-ranked USC
tonight followed by UCLA on
Saturday at McArthur Court.
The Trojans are on a three-game
winning streak and are tied for
first-place in the Pac-10 at 8-2,
while the Bruins are tied for
third-place at 5-4
"Both of this week's oppo
nents are very good teams who
will be in the NCLAA tournament
and both are capable of going a
long way." Oregon head coach
Elwin Heiny said. "Both learns
have individuals who will be
very difficult to slop.”
US(; is led hy 8-foot-5 junior
l.isa t^eslie, who is second in the
league in scoring and rebound
ing with averages of 19 2 and
10.1, respectively Leslie leads
the conference in blocked shots
with 3.6 per game and is third in
field goal accuracy at 56.2 per
cent. Senior guard Joni Easterly
is averaging 16.1 points per
game for the Trojans and scored
a career-high 28 points earlier
this year against Oregon in
USC's 78-69 victory.
UCLA features Natalie
Williams, the Pac-10's leading
scorer and rebounder. Williams,
who is also an All-American in
volleyball, is averaging 22.2
points and M.2 rebounds per
game. Williams scored 24 points
and grabbed 21 rebounds in
UCLA's 79-75 victory over the
Ducks earlier this season.
"Natalie is an amazing ath
lete," Heiny said. "We must be
ready to do anything defensive
ly against her and Leslie. We
will open the game playing
them both straight-up. but we
may switch to zone later in the
game."
The Ducks are coming off a
67-63 loss to Oregon State last
Friday when they were ahead
61-56 with 5:15 left in the game
before losing. Oregon has been
tied or ahead at halftime in six
of its nine conference games this
year, but has bean outscored by
an average of 43.1-30.6 in the
second half.
Oregon's Debbie Sporcich
appears to be recovering from an
ankle injury as she scored 15
points and pulled down 11
rebounds against the Beavers.
Sporcich leads the team with an
average of 13.5 points and 6.3
rebounds per game. Center Sara
Wilson is second on the Ducks
in scoring (12.6 ppg.) and
rebounding (7.2 rpg.).
