Emerald Sophomore guard Shaquala Williams has exceeded lofty expectations this season. Shaq continued from page 7 ing to be best. And with that in mind, she does what she does. Which is this: lead the Pac-10 in points per game (17.9). Rank fourth in the Pac in assists (4.24) and fourth in free throw percent age (81.2 percent) — significant considering she’s gone to the line more than any of the confer ence’s 10 leading free throw shooters “I’m not very big, but I don’t mind taking a couple hits,” the 5 foot-6 Williams said. “I love at tacking the basket and getting fouled, that’s just two easy points.” She’s shot 69 more foul shots than Stanford’s Milena Flores, who leads the conference in free throw percentage, having hit 62 of 69. Oh, and then there’s that other matter: Williams’ No. 23 Ducks (22-7 overall, 13-4 Pac-10) are alone in first place going into the final weekend of the season. A Civil War win Friday at McArthur Court clinches at least a share of the Pac-10 title for the second straight year. “I think [the Player of the Year award] should go to a person who wins the Pac-10, and who can back it up with her play,” Williams said. “But I never ex pect things like that. I have al ways said ‘It’ll probably go to Maylana Martin’ so I won’t be disappointed.” The Pac-lOs many great players include UCLA’s dynamic for ward, Maylana Martin, who was last season’s player of the year and is third in the Pac in scoring, first in rebounds and fourth in field goal percentage. But her underachieving Bruins are 10-6 in conference play, in fourth place and in danger of not even making the NCAA Tourna ment. It’s Williams who deserves this award. In Oregon’s most important road trip of the season last week end, Williams carried the Ducks, scoring 37 of 43 points in both the second halves. She also aver aged four assists, three rebounds and -two steals in addition to shooting 52 percent from the field and hitting all eleven of her free throws. In addition to all this, she also got to play the full 40 minutes for the second time in her career dur ing Oregon’s remarkable 22-point second-half comeback against the Wildcats. “A lot of times, if I’m down and I don’t have a lot of energy, that reflects in my teammates,” Williams said. “I think [Satur day] they saw me not want to quit, no matter what I was still trying, so they just kind of fed off me.” For that Williams received her second career player of the week award — the first for an Oregon player this season. It shouldn’t be a surprise if Williams claims player of the year, too. Nicole’s night Friday’s Civil War rematch is huge. Likely it will draw the most fans of the season — last year’s game at Mac Court drew 8,260, the second-most in program his tory. It determines if Oregon repeats as Pac-10 champs. And it will be senior night, a.k.a Nicole’s Night. Senior guard Nicole Strange — and only Strange — will be making her final home appear ance. It should be quite an exit for the 5-10 guard with the sweetest midrange J, who wasn’t the only freshman when she arrived in 1996 but, because of injuries and transfers, will have the spotlight to herself for Friday’s pregame festivities.
