Bruins next test for the Ducks
By Ryan Frank
Sports Editor
Step No. 1 of the equation was
solved Thursday night.
Step No. 2 comes to town for
Saturday’s 1 p.m. contest in the
form of the UCLA Bruins.
Fresh off overcoming a 15-point
halftime deficit to win at Oregon
State Thursday, the Bruins come
into town boasting the confer
ence’s second-leading scoring of
fense (before Thursday’s games)
and one of the Pacific-10 Confer
ence’s top young players in May
lana Martin, the 1996-97 confer
ence freshman of the year.
UCLA (7-5 overall, 2-1 Pac-10)
has now won five of its last six,
losing to Arizona at home last
weekend.
Martin, who led the Bruins’
charge in the second half Thurs
day with 10 points, is in the con
ference’s top 10 in scoring (third),
rebounding (fourth), blocks (sev
enth), steals (10th) and free-throw
percentage (second).
Erica Gomez, the 1995-96 Pac
10 freshman of the year, returns to
the Bruins after a season-ending
knee injury last year. The 5-foot-9
WOMEN'S
BASKETBALL
sophomore
guard is second
in the confer
ence in assists.
The Ducks are
coming off a 14
point win over
USC on Thurs
day. a game in which they re
gained the confidence they so
desperately needed.
“I think this really gives us a
confidence boost, knowing as
much adversity we’re going
through that we can still win bas
ketball games,” Runge said after
the USC win. “And obviously it
gives them confidence going into
the UCLA game."
Last season, the Ducks swept
the Bruins, but the game in Eu
gene was just a three-point con
test. In the series, Oregon holds a
13-12 advantage after winning
eight of the past nine contests be
tween the teams. The Bruins have
not won at McArthur Court since
the 1991-92 season.
The Ducks could once again be
shorthanded, as they played with
out starting guard Lisa Bowyer
Thursday against the Trojans.
Bowyer is nursing a sprained left
ankle and is listed as questionable
for the contest with the Bruins.
If the win against the Trojans
was any indication, Oregon
should continue to go to its posts
for much of the scoring load.
The combination of Brianne
Meharry, Angelina Wolvert and
Sonja Curtis scored 47 points on a
combined 19 for 26 from the field.

Ho, hum, the true
freshman does it again
Brianne Meharry
carried the Ducks with
24 points and 14
rebounds
By Alex Pond
Sports Reporter
In a word, Brianne Meharry
was spectacular Thursday
night at McArthur Court.
It was a performance expect
ed from a four-year starter, not
a true freshmen, although the
way she has played in the first
11 games of her Oregon career,
it could be the type of perfor
mance Oregon faithful will
soon come to expect more of.
The line almost speaks for it
self: 24 points, 14 rebounds
(seven offensive) on 9-for-13
shooting from the field as Ore
gon beat Southern California
79-65. And just for good mea
sure, she threw in a pair of as
sists and a blocked shot.
Along with the noisy throng
of Oregon fans, who gave
Meharry a resounding ovation
when she finally left the game
for the first time with three
minutes, 38 seconds remain
ing, Oregon head coach Jody
Runge was impressed,
“I don’t think that I've ever
seen a freshman in this pro
gram play like that,” Runge
said. “She was just gonna get it
done. There was just no doubt
in her mind that it was gonna
happen. She was dead-dog
tired out there in the second
half, and she just kept going."
Meharry ended up playing
38 minutes, second only to
USC guard Kristin Clark, who
logged 39 minutes on the
night.
Meharry was especially
spectacular in one crucial
stretch early in the second
half.
Taking advantage of the
fronting style of play used by
USC’s post defenders, Mehar
ry literally single-handedly
carried the Ducks, scoring
eight straight Oregon points in
a span of 1:31.
First came a rebound basket
with 17:15 remaining.
