And at McArthur Court on
Thursday, in front of 7,465, the fifth
largest crowd in school history, Ore
gon fit the first-place profile nicely.
At the end of an unflattering
first half, in which only the Bru
ins’ do-it-all senior Maylana Mar
tin played particularly well by
scoring 21 of her career-high 39
points, the teams headed for their
locker rooms tied at 36.
When they stepped back on the
court, the Ducks made the neces
sary adjustments. UCLA (15-8, 9
4) had not.
In the opening moments of the
half, guard Nicole Strange had the
ball stripped by the Bruins’ Marie
into the open court.
But Strange recovered, caught up
and then blocked her friend’s shot.
The Ducks recovered, raced back
and missed their initial shot. But
Jenny Mowe ripped down the re
bound, went back up, and got the
bucket and the foul.
She turned, faced her teammates
and let loose her trademark shimmy.
The Oregon bench was on its feet.
The crowd was on its feet. And the
Bruins were about to completely
lose their footing.
Shaquala Williams made a
three. Strange broke up a pass and
then converted a fast-break layup.
Mowe blocked a shot, then made
two free throws, then connected
on a jumper. Strange hit a J.
Wolvert made two free throws.
Shaq hit another three.
“We had a great start in the sec
. ond half,” Oregon head coach Jody
Runge said. “That was important, to
knock the wind out of their sails. ”
In six minutes, the Ducks built a
17-point lead and never looked
back. Beside Martin — who ac
counted for 54 percent of UCLA’s
scoring — no UCLA player got go
ing. In the process, Mac Court got
loud like only it can, sound becom
ing an almost touchable entity.
“It’s a big crowd when you can’t
hear coach Runge yelling at the top
of her lungs in the huddle,” Mowe
said. “Awesome, as usual.”
It helped, of course, that Oregon
gave fans something to cheer about.
The Ducks played hard.
Williams had a stellar game, scor
ing 24 points, dishing out seven
assists and collecting four steals.
Dion, who was flagrantly fouled
by Philman in the game’s closing
minute, finished with a career-high
17 points and an innumerable
amount of hustle plays, despite play
ing on an injured left knee.
Every one of the Ducks’ five
starters plus their regular sixth
player, Brianne Meharry, scored
nine points or more.
“It was a very balanced effort,”
Runge said. “We had great play by
everyone.”
