both.”
Those experiences, along with
the guidance of her grandfather,
have made Dion’s transition into
college basketball a smooth ex
perience. She spent her fresh
man season mostly on the
bench. But rather than sulk, she
turned it into a learning experi
ence.
“Sitting on the bench and
watching really made me realize
how intense the Pac-10 was,”
Dion said. "I watched people in
my position and saw what
worked and what didn’t. I try to
incorporate that into my play
now.”
It appears to be working. Dion
has seen increased playing time
this season and is already one of
Oregon’s record setters in the
weight room. She combines
strength with endurance to be a
threat every time she steps on
the court.
“Lindsey is a very strong and
physical player,” Runge says.
"She is always ready to play and
brings great enthusiasm to the
game. She has worked hard to
accomplish things that we ex
pect from our players.”
Dion is still working. As a
sophomore this season, she real
izes how far she still has to go to
become the kind of player she
wants to be. But she also knows
that basketball is only one part
of her young life. Academics
continues to play a vital role in
defining who she will become,
as well as providing her life with
balance.
“When people put so much
emphasis on their sport some
times it doesn’t always go right
and then they get totally
bummed about not performing
well," Dion says. “But when you
have other categories to fall back
on you can divert your interests
into other areas.”
Dion says she is not a master
at the collegiate level, but she
appears to have mastered what it
takes to get there. Dion feels her
experiences with her grandfa
ther and her contributions at
Oregon thus far, make her a vi
able candidate for a starting role
in the years to come.
But Dion isn’t worried. Al
though she is a persistent indi
vidual, she describes herself as
patient. She realizes that her
knowledge of the game will take
her far. And she is right where
she was always meant to be —
playing college ball.

Following the August accident,
Abmielec Saucedo and Richard
Hardick said Tyson attacked
them. They have reached a settle
ment with Tyson to avoid a civil
suit.
Kemp said Saucedo and
Hardick are prepared to testify at
sentencing that they support
Tyson’s no-contest plea.
“He does not admit to inten
tionally striking anyone when
this incident occurred,” Kemp
said.
