Wolvert
continued from page 8
and Wolvert scored for the win.
“What’s actually funny is you
know that little spin move that I
do? Not the one where 1 spin com
pletely baseline, but like if I go one
way, spin and shoot a jumper or
something?” Wolvert said, grin
ning. “I learned that from LeAnn
Sheets, and that’s the girl from
Washington who I always beat.”
Wolvert’s voice brims with ex
citement when recalling her fa
vorite basketball memories.
Perhaps her most recent highlight
was against California last Thurs
day, when — all in one motion —
she wrestled the ball away from
three defenders, scored and was
fouled. She sank the free throw.
“It felt so good to just rip it out of
three people’s hands, shoot it and
get the foul,” Wolvert said. “I like it
when it just so happens that I get to
come up with a huge play. I love to
just get fired up right then, just so
the crowd will get into it and feed
off of it.”
“She’s funny,” forward Brianne
Meharry said about Wolvert. “She’s
a player who thrives off adversity,
like when we play at a place where
they’re getting on us. She loves that,
and that’s when she really steps up
to play. She’s a big-time key to us in
games, and she’s fun to play with.”
Remembering her first basketball
season as a seventh-grader at
Wy’East Junior High in Vancouver,
Wash., Wolvert said she was a 6-foot
“chunk” with the game skills to
match.
Then came high school: “Maybe
I grew into my body or something,
but I just had more control over
what I was doing,” Wolvert said.
Since cracking Oregon’s starting
lineup as a freshman, Wolvert’s abil
ities as a Division-I forward have
steadily increased. Her scoring av
erage has elevated from 9.2 points
per game as a freshman to 13.5 as a
senior.
This season, Wolvert’s goal to be
Oregon’s go-to player in place of in
jured star point guard Shaquala
Williams has earned admiration
from her teammates.
“Ange has been great. I don’t
know what her experience as a
leader before was, but this year she’s
really stepped into that role,” Craig
head said. “It’s kind of funny be
cause at the beginning of the year
we didn’t really have a leader, and
we didn’t know who was going to
step up. Ange put that on her shoul
ders.”
She plays with
intensity in intense
situations. She’s a
passionate player, and a
tremendous athlete who is
capable of scoring big
numbers and playing nice
defense:
Judy Runge
women’s basketball
coach //
But Wolvert’s competitive nature
has created friction at times be
tween her and head coach Jody
Runge, who sometimes don’t see
eye-to-eye on certain issues.
The occasional conflict between
player and coach is visible in
Wolvert’s minutes per game, which
have increased only slightly from
22.3 minutes as a freshman to 24.8
this season. Wolvert played just
eight minutes in a 63-48 loss to Utah
this season.
“I’m stubborn and so is she.
Sometimes we work well together,
and sometimes we don’t,” Wolvert
said. “If I don’t do the things she
needs me to do, she won’t play me.
It’s very hard for me to deal with.
“The only times I get really upset
with the coach is if I just feel like I’m
getting questioned about how much
I care about things or how much I re
ally work.”
Mowe said that it’s Wolvert’s
competitive nature that sometimes
creates the tension with Runge.
“Ange’s emotions, she just rides
them, and whatever happens, hap
pens,” Mowe said. “She just does
things, she says things, and she
thinks about it later. ”
Runge, declining to comment on
Wolvert’s overall work ethic,
praised Wolvert’s ability to play
through clutch situations.
“She plays with intensity in in
tense situations,” Runge said.
“She’s a passionate player, and a
tremendous athlete who is capable
of scoring big numbers and playing
nice defense.”
No matter where she faces adver
sity, Wolvert is determined to play
through it. She can’t stand being
beaten by anyone.
She said she’ll never lose her
competitive edge.
“I love stealing the ball — I love
it,” she said, her voice rising. “It’s
the coolest thing; it’s so much fun.
When good plays happen I get ex
cited.
“I get fired up when my girl
scores on me and just ticks me off. I
want to go in there and just take it
right at her.”
The season is still young, but
Wolvert’s collegiate career is almost
over.
She often thinks back to the
Ducks’ humiliating loss at Maples
Pavilion last season, and to their
home-court loss to UAB in the
NCAA Tournament.
She also looks forward to a third
Pacific-10 Conference Champi
onship and another invitation to die
Big Dance — maybe even a future
WNBA career.
And, of course, she looks ahead
to the next game: Thursday at Wash
ington, where she’ll get to say “hi”
to an old friend, Sheets.

HorOSCOpC by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 17). You and
your team are unbeatable this year because you
seem to have superhuman powers. You're the
energizer and a friend's the strategist in Janu
ary. Don't let anybody else hold the purse
strings in February. Follow a hunch quickly in
March, and solve a big problem. By May you
should have a simple routine. Empower anoth
er and you'll both win in July. Save some of
September for quiet contemplation in a beauti
ful setting. Climb mountains in November. De
cember could be costly if you’re not careful.
Turn down an option with additional expenses.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 4
— Is somebody trying to get you upset to gain
an advantage? If so, stall. Your luck, power and
influence will improve over the next few days,
getting much better by next week.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)—Today is an 8
—You and your partner need to have a meet
ing. You should be planning a trip — one that's
deductible. Tomorrow will be good for travel
GEMINI(May 21-June21)—Today is a 5 —
Something you say in jest could be used
against you. Scheming is happening behind the
scenes, but don't be paranoid. Keep quiet, es
pecially if you don't know who's on which side
yet.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)—Today is an 8
— Love could blossom for you, so set up an
opportunity. If you've been waiting for the oth
er person to call, don't. He or she may be too
shy. If you get rejected, you didn't ask the right
question of the right person.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5 —
Your partner is good at figuring things out, but
today he or she seems to be running into a brick
wall. Offer a shoulder to cry on.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) —Today is a 9 —
Romance is in the air, so make time for it. Have
a secret mid-day rendezvous. Anybody who
thinks Virgos aren't passionate people doesn't
know any very well. They're selective, that's all.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 5 —
An argument could break out involving your
living arrangements and money. You'd like to
do what the other person wants, but you can't
afford it. You can work out a compromise, but
don't give away the store.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 9
—You're probably getting offers from people
you never noticed before. Don't get into any
trouble just to show off. Remember, you're
even more enticing if you play hard-to-get.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today
is a 4 — It's not easy to achieve what you have
in mind, but that's your own fault. You're the
one who picked the lofty goal. You wanted a
challenge, remember? Tune to hit the books!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is
an 8 — Your friends encourage you to try
something you've never done before, but find
out how much it will cost. Your friends' esti
mate may be a tad low.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today isa4
— Someone wants to order you around, and is
not open to compromise. You may get a bonus
if you comply. If it's against your principles,
don't; if you merely don't like the person in
chaige, stifle.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)—Today is an 8
— Something a foreigner said, or news you've
received from far away has piqued your curios
ity. Plan a voyage now, but wait a while before
taking action.
