wedged inside the lane and con
verted a pass down-low from
Hammon into two points.
The Rams (2-0) iced the final
two minutes of the game by nail
ing two free throws and stripping
Oregon (1-1) of the ball twice in
the final minute.
“Our team never thought we
were going to lose the game," said
Cronin, who scored 13 of her 19
total points in the second half to
put the Rams in front. “It’s proba
bly the biggest game in Colorado
State history considering what we
had to deal with the crowd and
all the fouls.”
Fouls were a factor throughout
the game as the two teams com
bined for an astonishing 50 fouls
in 40 minutes. Oregon forwards
Brianne Meharry and Angelina
Wolvert both fouled out of the
game with more than six minutes
remaining. This forced the Ducks
to all but abandon their inside
game which had been so effective
in the first half, totaling 22 of Ore
gon’s 39 points. As a result, the
Ducks went scoreless during a
crucial 4-minute, 32-second
stretch in the second half when
the Rams were able to cut Ore
gon’s lead to just one point.
“No doubt we had match-up
problems, it’s pretty hard to guard
Colorado State,” said Litzenberg
er. "We got a 12-point lead and
then we got tentative. We tossed
the ball away going inside.”
Oregon turned over the ball 26
times in the game, compared to
17 for the Rams. Jenny Mowe,
Lisa Bowyer and Curtis each
scored 11 points to lead the
Ducks, who play Idaho next at
McArthur Court on Nov. 22.
Defense
Continued from Page 5
"We didn't handle their pres
sure very well," Curtis said. In an
effort to contain the Rams' igniting
offense, Oregon found itself in se
rious foul trouble. Oregon com
mitted 16 turnovers in the second
half and had two of its key play
ers, Angelina Wolvert and Mehar
ry, foul out with more than six
minutes to play in the game.
From that point on, it was a de
fensive war. Colorado State’s de
fensive pressure allowed the
Rams to take control of the game
on offense.
With 3:28 to go, Angie Gorton
bullied over the Ducks for a defen
sive rebound after Oregon guard
Lisa Bower missed a free three
throw. Gorton quickly passed the
ball to Hammon, who tied the
game at 69 with another textbook
three pointer.
Oregon led the entire game,
with the exception of Colorado
State's 2-0 lead just 37 seconds
into the game. But with 1:49 re
maining in the game, the Rams'
took the lead again on a lay-up by
Cronin, and it was their persever
ance on defense that prevented
the Oregon offense from ever tak
ing it back.
State's defense finally paid off
as they prevented Mowe from get
ting the game tying lay up and
forced Curtis to turn the ball over
with 21 seconds left. Mowe had
one last chance with 15 seconds,
but again the brutal force of the
Ram's defense forced a turnover.

Illinois (3-7,2-5).
Last season, thePac-10 went 5-1
in bowl games. The conference’s
only loss came in the Rose Bowl
when Washington State was beat
en by eventual national champion
Michigan 21-16. Oregon upped its
bowl record to 4-8 with a 41-13
victory against Air Force in the
Las Vegas Bowl on Dec. 20. A
bowl invitation this season would
be the Ducks’ sixth in the 1990s.
Prior to 1990, Oregon had one
bowl appearance in the previous
25 years. UCLA captured its first
Pac-10 title since 1993 with a 36
24 victory against Washington in
Seattle.
