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.
