Women fighting numbers, Cardinal
By Scott Simonson
( Vf?yc>n Dotty f.mtHAtd
When Oregon plays Stanford Thursday night in
Palo Alto, Calif , it will be trying to forget about the
numbers
0-12: Oregon's record against Stanford in its last
12 tries
1 OH7 The last time the l)ui ks beat the Cardinal
27 The average margin of victory for Stanford in
the last sis years
Oregon head coach )odv Runge and her team
would like to think that those numbers belong to
the past Oregon. 11-5 overall, is tied for second
in the Pacific-10 Conference with a 5-2 ret ord No
14 Stanford, also 11-5, is a half game back at 5-:t
"I think they (Oregon’s players) feel like this isn't
the same Stanford team as in the past, and I think
they feel empowered by their own performance,"
Runge said
“It's a huge game. There's no way to get around
it... they're expected to win because they've always
won. We're expected to have a gcxxi chance to win.”
Oregon is coming off a sweep of the Arizona
schools last weekend, while Stanford lost to UCLA
and DSC on the road. Runge expects to face a team
that is hungry fora victory.
"The thing that's really not in our favor right now
is that they lost two down in LA That makes them
really anxious to get a win,” she said.
Having won four consecutive games and finding
themselves in the midst of the conference race,
Runge said the players are encountering high expec
tations as well as expecting more from themselves
"I think our kids feel a lot of pressure right now.
but what we're doing right now is something that
nobody expected us to do." siic said. It just boils
down to them seizing the day and playing the l>est
that they can play
Stanford has lost at home once in the last three
years, and that loss came at the hands of No. 1 Ten
nessee earlier tiiis season Kunge said Stanford will
try to push the hall up the court and create off the
dribble on offense, tendenc ies that may cause
headaches for the Duck defense
"Something that isn't necessarily our biggest
strength is keeping the ball out in front of us and
then giving help and not giving up an easy basket
when we don't get a rotation." she said.
Two keys for the Ducks will be keeping Stanford
out of an open-court game and limiting the Cardi
nal to one shot per possession. Kunge said "1 think
we can go down on offense and score with Stan
ford. If we aren't giving thorn easy baskets. I think
it will be a really good basketball game."
Oregon plays California Saturday before return
ing home to play Oregon State next Friday. The
Golden Bears are 7-10 overall and 1-6 in the con
ference.
Cal has been hurt by the loss of canter Ingrid Dix
son, who was averaging 15.1 points and 12.0
rebounds per game before sustaining a knee injury.
"They're playing at home, and you know that in
the Pac-10. you just can't afford to lose at home to
have a successful season." Kunge said." They’ve
played a lot of teams tough for about 30 minutes
then have run out of steam. They’re going to play
a good ballgame. We certainly can't look past
them.”
