But it can’t overlook a beatable
but-dangerous Santa Clara squad
(2-1 overall). Last season, the
Ducks squeezed out a 66-60 victo
ry in the Bay area to take a 6-1 se
ries advantage against the Broncos.
Santa Clara’s only victory against
the Ducks came in 1985.“I get the
impression that they are the same
kind of team they were last year,”
senior guard/forward Lindsey
Dion said. “They have some girls
that can shoot the three from pret
ty far out.”
To complement its shooting,
Santa Clara showcases 6-foot-3
center Annie Garrison, the
school’s all-time leading shot
blocker. Additionally, the Bronco’s
have a solid play caller controlling
the ball.
“Their point guard is very tal
ented,” said Craighead, who will
carry the task of defending Becki
Asbaugh, the Broncos’ junior play
maker who paced her team with
18 points and six assists against
the Ducks last year. “It’s going to
be tough to stop her, but I just have
to force her to the baseline and try
to make it difficult for her to run
the offense.”
We have to execute our
offense and play a little
better defense. We also
have to keep up our
intensity and not let our
play go down to our
opponents.

The Ducks say they must play
better defensively to stay undefeat
ed after Saturday’s matchup.
“We didn’t exactly do a very
good job on the defensive end
against Portland,” Dion said. “We
have to put things together this

Senior center Jenny Mowe, who
led the Ducks with 14 points and
12 rebounds in last season's win
against Santa Clara, said the team
must remain focused throughout
the preseason.
"We have to execute our offense
and play a little better defense,"
Mowe said. "We also have to keep
up our intensity and not let our
play go down to our opponents.”
Oregon defeated Portland 80-56
