Henderson quietly leads Ducks
By Scott Simonson
OrQQor OAity Emt* ah1
if you go to nn Oregon volleyball match, you will
probably s«e Ang«w Henderson play, but you may
not hear her.
Henderson said she's the type who's a "silent
leader. I lead more by what I do rather than what
I say. I'm not the loudest one on the floor "
The junior quick hitter can bo quiet on the vol
leyball court, but she's not invisible. She has been
among the national leaders this season in blocks
per game. When Oregon recorded its first confer*
once victory last weekend, Henderson posted a .503
hitting percentage and 10 kills.
Henderson's .227 hitting percentage for the sea
son leads Oregon's starters
"Her net game is outstanding." Oregon head coe< h
Gerry Gregory said. "Her blocking and hitting ant
among the tops in the Pacific-Id Conference She
is soft-spoken. I know the coaching staff respects
what she has to say. We'd probably like her to l>e
a little more vocal."
Henderson's numbers aren't bad. considering that
nagging injuries have limited her practice time and
affected her conditioning.
"It's been really frustrating this year because I've
never had to deal with injuries before." she said.
"I've had a jammed finger here or a bruise there,
but never anything that required special attention.
This year, it's quad strains and knee things. 1 get
one thing fixed and another thing goes.... It's final
ly getting to the place where I can play and not lx;
in pain."
Henderson said that since barely being able to
play in the UCLA game a couple of weeks ago. a
reduced practice schedule has helped give her time
to heal.
However, she isn't 100 percent yet. Against Wash
ington State. Henderson appeared to lead the Ducks
in a new statistical category - total bandages
"I had a knee brace. I had a leg wrap. 1 had a hip
pad," Henderson said. "It was embarrassing, but 1
had to do it to play.
"This last weekend was the first week where I
could prm tice full and get everything lw< k to the
way it was before. It was a good weekend for me
just to tie healthy and play strong "
Gregory said thot he has admired Henderson's
work ethic, despite the nagging injuries
"She’s had to deal with a lot of injuries, but she's
always worked hard and tried to play to the full
extent of tier ability." tie said
Hart! work also has produced sui i ess for Hen
derson off the voltevliall court A biology major, she
earned honorable mention on the t’ncific-tO Con
ference All-Academic Team in 1902.
Henderson said she doesn't have a problem rind
ing time for both volleyball and tier studies
"I think I'd tie kind of bored stiff if I didn't have
volleyball to go along with school." she said. "It
keeps me really busy."
Henderson lias raised tier hitting peri outage in
each of tier three seasons
"A lot of it is nist focusing on hitting the hall in
the court," she said. "There's been a couple of
matches where I just hit terribly, but the errors 1
make are a lot fewer than In years past, and I tfiink
that's just maturity,"
Henderson is hoping maturity and consistency
tain also help push a young Oregon loom toward the
top of the Par -10 in the future.
"Everyone can play well; otherwise we wouldn't
tie here," she said. "At this point, it’s just living able
to play like we can every single match instead of
playing well one night and then dropping down the
next night.”
"If we placed as well as we played against Wash
ington and against other teams, we'd tie more com
petitive It's gist finding that consistence
With one season of eligibility remaining.
Henderson would like to see some of that
consistency and competitiveness arrive lie to re she
leaves.
"I'd like to lie able to make it to the playoffs liefore
I'm gone." she said "just to linish somewhere
besides the bottom. It 's |ust a matter of getting every
body to go in the same direction in every thing
and play the w ay we know we can every game "
