Women: Mowe, Meharry anchor experienced group up front
■ Continued from Page 5
game filling in for the injured
Mowe and Meharry last season, to
the small forward position next
season.
Sonja Curtis rounds out Ore
gon’s formidable front line. As
the Pac-lO’s leading free-throw
shooter last season, the 6-foot-2
Curtis will be one of three seniors
on next year’s squad.
The others are the Ducks’ Aus
tralians: guard Lisa Bowyer and
guard/forward Natasha O’Brien.
Bowyer, a 5-foot-8 defensive spe
cialist, played through several in
juries last season while dishing
out 82 assists and collecting 42
steals. O’Brien, 5-foot-ll, scored
8.7 points a game.
Nicole Strange, a 5-foot-10 ju
nior guard/forward, made solid
contributions last season, averag
ing just over five points in 20
minutes a game.
Oregon also returns sopho
more guard Lindsey Dion and a
candidate for the starting point
guard position in sophomore
Karen Piers.
Kirsten McKnight, once a
walk-on, played her fourth and
final season last year. She’ll be
back with the team though, re
turning as an assistant coach.
“I’m really excited to continue
in a program I worked so hard for
four years to build up,” McK
night said. “I feel like I can help
emotionally, just dealing with
everything you go through as a
player.”
With the core of last year’s
team back, the Ducks think their
chances for success are high.
“Everybody’s coming back and
it’s going to be incredible, I
think.” Mowe said. “Bri and I are
coming back in, and we have a
big batch of new recruits that will
bring a lot to our team too. And
then there’s the old-comers com
ing back. It’s just going to be real
ly great.”
McKnight agrees: “We have
some amazing inside players
coming back strong. With Jenny
and Brianne being out last year,
they have a heightened sense of
desire to win this year.”
The Ducks do lose point guard
Natalie Hughes, the
only player on the
team to average more
than 30 minutes a
game. In those min
utes, Hughes led the
team in scoring with
15 points per contest
and tallied 89 assists.
“It’s going to be
weird playing without
Nat and just not hav
ing her around,"
Mowe said. “She’s
just a great girl and a great team
mate. We’ll miss her on and off
the court.”
Although McKnight is sure to
miss her former teammate, she
said the position will be in capa
I think the
Pac-10 title is
a very
attainable
goal. »

ble hands.
“I’m totally confident that
we’ll get the job done with Karen
Piers coming in,” McKnight said.
If the 1998-99 season ends as
the Ducks hope for it to, Runge’s
incoming recruits will have to
make significant con
tributions to make up
for Hughes’ absence.
“I know all of
them,” Mowe said of
her incoming team
mates. "They all seem
very athletic and like
very great girls.”
Three freshman
and a transfer will
join the team, one of
which is 5-foot-6
Shaquala Williams of
Reynolds High School in Trout
dale, Ore., where she scored 26.4
points a game. Williams is rated
as the 33rd best player coming
out of high school by the Blue
Star Report. Another promising
newcomer is 6-foot-0 Ndidi Una
ka, who averaged 13 points and
eight boards a game for Saint
Bernard High School in Los An
geles, which went to the state fi
nals last year.
Jamie Craighead, a 5-foot-9
guard, should provide depth in
the backcourt. Craighead, who ar
rives from Washington, averaged
a triple-double with 12 points, 10
assists and 10 steals a game at
Elma High School. Alyssa Fred
erick, a 6-foot-3 center-forward
transfer from San Diego State
University, will add size to the
roster.
If the team can remain healthy
and if Runge can continue to
blend her team’s talent into wins,
the Ducks will justify their lofty
goals for 1998-99.
“I think that Pac-10 title is a
very attainable goal, “ Mowe
said. “Everybody’s coming back,
and it’s going to be incredible.
We're going to be back.”

HorOSCOPC by Frances Drake
For Tuesday, Aug. 11, 1998
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
People are looking to you as a role
model, and you will not disappoint.
Take chances; the odds are better
than usual for you.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
A quiet day for you. It may be
advantageous to stay behind the cur

learn something. Avoid confronta
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
Networking and socializing will go
really well, so why not play host?
Don’t be afraid to spark a controver
sial conversation with new friends.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Cover all your bases and keep your
nose clean. Get everything in writing
to protect yourself. Acts of human
kindness aren’t always what they

(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Organize a team and you may come
out on top. Assemble other cohorts
that seek a similar goal, as there is
always more power in greater num
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
It’s your party and you can cry if
you want to. Rather than being the
ball and chain, you may find that
time is better quality when spent
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Nip a problem in the bud rather
than waiting for it to come full blos
som. Your significant other may be
more demanding than usual, so be
forewarned.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Be certain all the facts are lucid
before embarking on a new project.
Thorough exploration now will pre
vent you from losing your way again.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Think big and speak loudly to make
sure your opinion is heard. Being a
teacher, rather than drill sergeant,
is the best way to organize a team
behind you.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Holes and cracks in the home and
family will require your attention.
Putting matters off will insure an
insurmountable problem. Sacrifice
your leisure.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
What you find to be a brilliant
proposition may fall flat on the ears
of others. Don’t be discouraged by
your unrecognized genius; it may be
bad timing.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Catastrophe and chaos will reign
supreme. If s your job to wade through
the mayhem and attempt to function
normally. Are you wearing your tall
boots?
YOU BORN TODAY are energized
and feeling wonderful because of
physical vitality and an overall sense
of good health. Treat yourself to some
thing you’ve been wanting for a long
time. After all, it’s your birthday.
Make amends with someone, even if
the falling out wasn't your fault.
