continued from page 11
minutes, 59 seconds left.
When the dust settled and the
whistles ceased, the Ducks fin
ished on top, 75-63. It was anoth
er must-win for Oregon in terms
of the Pac-10 title race, made even
sweeter by No. 20 UCLA’s 73-69
loss to Southern California.
“They gave us a good basketball
game,” Runge said. “We tried in
the first half to play a lot of peo
ple, which throws you out of
rhythm a little bit.”
Oregon nearly broke the game
open when it took a 50-39 lead off
of Angelina Wolvert’s tip-in with
11:05 remaining, but Cal
outscored the Ducks 17-9 in the
next five minutes, six seconds to
pull within 59-56.
Then it was all Oregon. Guard
Nicole Strange hit a jumper on the
next possession, and point guard
Shaquala Williams drained a
three-pointer after a Bear was
called for traveling. Cal never got
within seven after that.
Forward Brianne Meharry sug
gested that there was some degree
of emotional letdown from Thurs
day’s 61-57 win over Stanford, but
she attributed much of the Bears’
success to their effort on the court.
“Any win right now is a good
win, and we won it,” Meharry
said. “I was really glad that Cal
came out and gave it all they had
like that because I know personal
ly it’s hard to come back from a
loss like they had at Oregon State.”
Center Jenny Mowe went to the
bench after suffering a sprained
jaw from an inadvertent elbow in
the jaw from teammate Angelina
Wolvert. She returned but fouled
out with 4:06 to go.
Guard Lindsey Dion left the
game with 18:19 to play in the
game and did not return. Team of
ficials first suspected a knee in
jury, but said on Sunday that
nothing was seriously wrong.
Strange was super from the
field, leading Oregon with 17
points on 7-of-10 shooting, and
Williams contributed eight points
and a game-high five assists.
“Before the game, I told every
one ‘this is the last time you’re
ever going to play Cal this year.’
which is the last time I’m ever go
ing to play Cal,” said Strange, the
team’s only senior. “It’s hard for
our team to get up for a game that
we’ve won in the past. We need to
work on that.”
Oregon found playing time for
all of its post players. To the sur
prise of the 5,311 in attendance, it
was sophomore Ndidi Unaka who
stole the show with 10 points, in
cluding eight in the first half.
“This week at practice I prac
ticed really well, so I’m glad I
came out and was able to help my
team,” Unaka said. “I’m glad we
won because [Cal] really came out
strong. We didn’t play great, but
we came to win.”
Meharry led all post players
with 16 points, half of which
came from the free-throw line,
where the Ducks nearly tripled
the Bears’ attempts, 29-11.

A
romantic
evening calls
• for a perfect bottle
of wine. Candlelight,
soft music, that sick-to-your
stomach, first-real-date feeling. Ah, yes. Romance.
You’ve planned the perfect night. Gone over every situation.
Yon know what to say, how to act, even how to cook the chicken.
And then, as you pour the last glass of wine it hits you! What do I do
with the empty bottle? And just when you decide to give up dating forever,
your date asks you,
“Where’s the recycling bin?’’
You think to yourself, this could be love.

comes in representing a change of
pace, change of style.
It’s a difficult match up for any
Pac-10 team, and especially for
ailing and undersized Cal (7-14,
2-9). It would’ve be admirable if
Jackson and Ashbaugh could
even hang with those four.
But then Ndidi Unaka got up
in there too.
Who? Yeah, here we go again.
It wouldn’t be a weekend with
out another yet-unheralded Duck
rising to the occasion.
Ndidi (pronounced dee-dee)
Unaka (ew-knock-ah) — better
sound it out, because after her
play Saturday, you might start
seeing that name regularly.
“She’s gonna be a superstar
here,” senior Nicole Strange said.
Unaka had played in just nine
games this season, averaging
less than one minute per con
test.
But against the Bears, she
subbed in at the 13-minute mark
and performed like she always
does — at practice. And unlike
she ever has in a game.
During her first trip down the
floor, she skied above everyone
for the rebound, came down and
skied again for an easy layin.
Not many women around who
can guard that.
“Yeah, especially after I hit my
first shot, I did feel good to be out
there and finally show what I can
do,” Unaka said.
She called for the ball and her
teammates hooked her up. The •
Duqk with the 27-inch vertical
did what she should, simply
jumping over defenders for
layins.
She played 12 minutes and
scored 10 points, both career
highs, and may have added an
other dimension to Oregon’s stel
lar arsenal inside.
