freshman Lindsey Dion or senior
Mendy Benson.
If Dion gets the call, the Ducks’
starting lineup would include
three freshmen, with Brianne
Meharry and Angelina Wolvert
likely to start at the power for
ward and center positions.
Bowyer is averaging 9.1 points
per game and, while not an offi
cial stat, has led the conference
in the number of charges drawn.
If Bowyer can’t go, the Ducks
will need point guard Natalie
Hughes to step her play up a lev
el. Hughes was inconsistent in
the games in the Bay Area, aver
aging just 8.5 points per game
while shooting just 34.8 percent
from the floor. She averaged 14.5
points in eight nonconference
games.
“I would hope [Hughes] would
step it up,” Runge said while re
fusing to comment on Hughes’
struggles of late.
The absence of Bowyer could
hurt the Ducks, particularly from
a defensive standpoint, where
the defensive specialist would
likely draw the assignment of try
ing to stop USC’s leading scorer,
guard Kristin Clark.
In addition to leading the Tro
jans, Clark is eighth in the Pac-10
in scoring at 15.3 points a game.
“Obviously, she’s having a
great offensive year,” Runge said.
“She’s running the show for
them. If we can do a good job on
her defensively, that makes a big

■ LEADING SCORER: Kristin
Clark, 15.3 points per game
■ LEADING REBOUNDERS:
Tiffany Washington, 6.6 per
game; Adrain Williams, 6.4 per
game

Oregon 21-5

steals a game
difference with them doing
things.”
It is also Clark’s defensive
prowess that could give Oregon’s
ball handlers fits. Clark leads the
Pac-10 in steals with an average
of 3.36 takeaways a game. In fact,
the Trojans are tied for the Pac-10
lead in steals at 13.09 per outing,
stressing the need for the Ducks,
who average 18 turnovers a
game, to take care of the ball.
Earlier in the week, Runge
stressed the fact that for the
Ducks to reach the NCAA Tour
nament for a fifth straight time,
they must beat the teams that, on
paper, they should beat.
As a team floundering around
.500 and struggling to find con
sistency, much like Oregon, the
Trojans could fall into that cate
gory.
They have lost three of their
past five games, including a split
with the Arizona schools to begin
the Pac-10 season last weekend.
After giving up nearly 100
points to Stanford, Oregon could
use a strong defensive perfor
mance tonight. The Trojans have
a hard time scoring as it is, rank
ing eighth in the Pac-10 at just
67.4 points per game and shoot
ing just 40 percent from the field
as a team.
One of the most interesting
matchups inside could be
Wolvert against USC’s 6-foot-4
Adrain Williams, who averages
10.1 points and 6.4 rebounds.
“I think there are great
matchups inside,” Runge said.
“Obviously, Adrain Williams is a
great athlete, a very good shooter,
and it’s a tough defensive chal
lenge.”
Oregon has had its problems
with the Trojans of late, going
just 3-5 against them in the
Runge era.
Last season, the teams split a
pair of games, with each team de
fending its home court. USC de
feated Oregon 73-65 in Los Ange
les, but the Ducks got revenge
with a 70-53 drubbing in Eugene
later in the season. The Trojans
hold an all-time 21-5 advantage
over the Ducks in the series.
More bad news on the injury
front: Forward Natasha O'Brien
is listed as questionable follow
ing a severe sprain in her left
hand, an injury that occurred
during the game against Stanford.

Huard to stay with Huskies
for at least another season
The 21-year-old UW
quarterback said he is
not ready to put on a
professional uniform
By Jlim Cour
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — After taking a
look at his NFL future. Brock
Huard is staying at Washington
for at least another year.
A two-year starter at quarter
back, Huard announced
Wednesday that he would be
back for bis junior season, his
fourth year at Washington. He
did not make any promises
about his senior year.
“This is a pretty amazing re
action for a little punk kid who
wasn’t even all-Pac-10 this
year," he told a heavily attend
ed news conference on cam
pus. “I’ll be playing at least one
more year at the University of
Washington.
“I’ll do my best to bring us
back to the Rose Bowl next
year.”
Huard's older brother, Da
mon, formerly of Washington
and now with the Miami Dol
phins, was among those in the
crowd.
The Huskies disappointed
themselves — and Huard —
when they failed to make it to
Pasadena, Calif., this season.
Instead, they went to the Aloha
Bowl after losing their final
three regular-season games.
Overshadowed in the Pac-10
by Ryan Leaf, who led Wash
ington State into the Rose Bowl
for the first time in 67 years,
Huard was told by an NFL ad
visory committee that he
would be a third-round draft
choice.
Leaf announced after the
Rose Bowl that he would not be
back in Pullman for his senior
season. Now he has a chance to
be the first player chosen in the
April IB draft.
“Ultimately, you play the
game of college football to
reach the next level," Huard
said. “1 didn’t have the visions
of putting on a professional
uniform yet."
He added: "Physically, I’ve
love the challenge of playing
there. Emotionally, am I readv
at 21? I don't know."
Huard’s decision was wel
come news to coach Jim Lam
bright, who has had two major
defections.
Two-time All-America
guard Benji Olson and All
America centerOlin Kreutzare
passing up their senior years to
enter the draft.
Lambright said Huard told
him of his decision Tuesday
night. The coach said it helped
give him a good night's sleep.
Huard’s return will help the
Washington coaching staff in
its recruiting, Lambright said.
