Women
continued from page 9A
Eugene, with 17 seconds to go in
overtime, sophomore Jamie Craig
head found die courage to take —
and make — the three-pointer that
put her team ahead one, 79-78,
against Alabama Birmingham (21
13). A shot that momentarily
seemed to secure a second-round
berth for the Ducks. A shot that
sparked, for a split-second, a pre
view of the ecstatic delirium that
was mere moments away if the
Ducks could just hold on.
Craighead, her teammates and
the 7,672 fans at McArthur Court
let out a curt, collective hoorah as
the shot dropped before regrouping
and tried to bear down defensively.
By then the Blazers were on the
attack. Senior Lisa Jackson pushed
the ball ahead, as she had all game,
but with even more abandon.
But she ran smack into a thicket
of Oregon defenders, lost the ball
and it seemed, for an instant, that
the Ducks had escaped the upset.
But then UAB’s Shaq, Shaquet
ta Rhodes, suddenly had the loose
ball, and rose up over everyone,
silencing the crowd with an un
contested layup with three sec
onds left — much like Halloway’s
score earlier that day.
Oregon’s Shaquala Williams
took the inbound pass and drove as
far as she could in the remaining
three seconds before launching a
shot from a few steps past half
court. It hit the front of the iron.
The Oregon women’s season,
like the men’s, was done, 80-79.
“Disappointing,” junior for
ward Angelina Wolvert said.
Especially so because with
Williams’ errant heave went the
Ducks’ plans of winning one more
game at the Pit and advancing to
the Sweet 16 for the first time, and
their hopes of going even further,
because their next two games
would’ve been in Portland where
the Western Regionals are.
And while no road to the Final
Four is easy, the trip in front of the
Ducks this season was as compli
ant as any they’ll ever get, especial
ly considering that the NCAA
could use neutral sights as early as
next season for the opening rounds
of the women’s tournament.
“We won the Pac-10, we put
ourselves in a position to have a
home berth,” Williams said. “We
always talked about the reason it
was tough for us to advance is be
cause we were never at home.
“We may look back at this and
say, ‘Man, we blew a huge opportu
nity.’ But on the other hand, no
matter where you play, you still
have to play. That’s the great thing
about basketball, no matter who
you are or where you’re playing,
someone is gonna have to win or
lose. We just got the tough end of
that.”
On that given night there were
12 lead changes. Eleven ties. Bod
ies flew. Words were exchanged.
Oregon played more intensely than
it had all season. And the Lady
Blazers matched it, to the end.
"They won it,” said Jody Runge,
the Ducks’ dejected head coach.
“We made some big plays offen
sively, but we didn’t do what we
UAB’s tenacious sophomore Deanna Jackson (No. 23) exploited the Ducks’ defense, finishing 25 points and 10 rebounds.
typically do defensively as far as
getting stops, and we rely on that.
“When you traditionally have a
good defensive team, it’s frustrating
to have a loss end your season be
cause you didn’t defend well.”
Oregon certainly missed the
right-place, right-time defensive
presence of junior forward Lindsey
Dion, who aggravated an injured
left knee in Friday’s shoot-around
and was unavailable to play.
“Whether she could have made
the difference in the game ... any
one possession could have made
the difference, Runge said.
With Dion starting, the Oregon
went 19-4. Without her, 4-4.
But even missing a major con
tributor, the Ducks took turns step
ping up — and stepping up huge.
Wolvert, a 6-foot-3 junior for
ward, had 12 points and a career
high five blocks. Junior Brianne
Meharry gave her team a tremen
dous surge off the bench, with 19.
Williams fed the ball in to her
post players, who converted or
got fouled much of the time. Shaq
ended the season with 17 points
ana nve assists in *±o muiu«».
Craighead buried three crucial
three-pointers. And in her final
game as a Duck, Nicole Strange
shot four of seven, and wound up
with 10 points and three assists.
But UAB players stepped up too.
Namely Deanna Jackson, who
played all 45 minutes, went 12 of
23 and pulled down 10 boards.
Mia Thrash of the Lady Blazers
came up with 19 points and two
vital steals in 35 minutes.
“Our kids played hard,” Runge
said. “We just didn’t get it done.
