Women continued from page 7 A need to take care of business and get the win [today] to move our selves up in the eyes of the com mittee.” But in the midst of all the title excitement, the Ducks don’t want to get too excited — not yet. “I can guarantee that there is no body who would want to spoil it more for us than Oregon State,” point guard Shaquala Williams said. “They want to beat us more than anybody, and they would love to spoil it for us. ” Tonight is senior night, also known this season as “Nicole Night.” Guard Nicole Strange will step onto Mac Court’s hardwood for the last time as a Duck. The Ducks may not have made it this far without Strange’s contribu tions. She is arguably the Pac-lO’s best midrange shooter, hitting 50.5 percent from the field this season. “We want to give her the best opportunity to go out as a winner and to go out as a Pac-10 champ in her last game at Mac Court,” Williams said. “I think it’s really important to her, and I think it’s re ally important to us as a team for her to get that opportunity. ” Although Oregon is vying for the all-out title, this season has been anything but a smooth ride. The wear-and-tear of a long road trip eventually dumped the Ducks from the nation’s top-25 early on. Recurring injuries to junior for ward Lindsey Dion left Oregon with one of its most dependable players playing at less than full-go. Two homecourt losses, includ ing the Ducks’ loss to Southern California two weeks ago, tossed Oregon from first place in the con ference and tainted the Ducks’ usually dominant ways at home. Most recently, Oregon was down in Tucson, 55-33, with the second half flying by and the Pac-10 title hopes seemingly slipping away — but the Ducks’ mounted a heroic comeback to eke out the victory. Now, after a storied season of Pac 10 parity, Oregon sits atop the pack, the all-out title within its grasp. Just one team stands in the way. Before the season, any Pac-10 contender would have welcomed Oregon State with title hopes on the line. Led by seniors Sissel Pierce and Reda Petraitis, however, the Beavers have beaten all their crit ics. Oregon State is fifth in the conference — not eighth, as pre season polls projected it would finish — and it is among the top four teams in each of the confer ence’s statistical categories. Oregon head coach Jody Runge said this could be the greatest game at McArthur Court all year. Obviously the fans agree — as of Thursday, every general admis sion ticket was sold, and there were 400 reserve tickets left. The Ducks want to win for senior Nicole Strange, who possibly plays her last game at McArthur Court. Assistant coach Fred Litzenberg er agreed that this game is special. “We always talk about having to take one game at a time,” Litzenberger said. “It’s funny be cause here it is; it comes down to one game. “We want to stay focused on it being just one game, but obvious ly there’s a lot riding on this game.” The season’s first Civil War in Corvallis was won by Oregon, but the Ducks didn’t pull away from the Beavers until late in the sec ond half. The game’s high intensi ty set an up-tempo pace riddled with lots of contact and few calls. And, of course, there’s for ward/center Ericka Cook, who started the war in Corvallis early by flipping off Oregon’s Dion in a back hallway. In the words of Dion, the re match should be “electrifying.” “It’s going to be an awesome at mosphere at Mac Court and we want to send Nicole out with a bang,” Dion said. And [Oregon State is] not playing half bad right now. They’re young, they’re excited and they’re going to bring it.” Call (541) 346-4343 or stop by Room 300, Erb Memorial Union to place your ad today. P.O.
