Nobody’s perfect in close Pac-10 title chase ■ After a great start, Arizona drops consecutive games in L.A., but Arizona State is on its way up By Adam Jude Oregon Daily Emerald Oregon’s loss to Washington State was the biggest shocker of the weekend, but it wasn’t the only one. No. 19 Arizona, heading into its weekend series in Los Angeles as the Pacific-10 Conference’s top team, dropped consecutive games at UCLA and Southern Cal, the Ducks’ next opponents. Now, there are no unbeatens in what is becoming one of the most competitive confer ences in the country. Against the winless Bruins, Ari zona (14-4 overall, 4-2 Pac-10) could not get past Michelle Greco, the Pac-10 leading scorer who guid ed UCLA with 29 points en route to a 59-56 overtime victory Saturday. “We got beat in every phase of the game,” said Joan Bonvicini, Ari zona head coach. Southern Cal “just wanted it more and it showed in everything ... their hustle, de fense and steals.” And Thursday’s 81-67 loss to USC (6-9,1-4) didn’t help Arizona’s bid for its first-ever Pac-10 champi onship. “We played against teams that were really scrappy,” Arizona guard Reshea Bristol told the Ari zona Daily Star. “They may not have the best record, but they defi nitely gave it their all. Arizona is now 14-4 overall and tied for second with a 4-2 Pac-10 record. A Devilish demolition After its first road sweep since the 1992-93 season, and its first sweep of the L.A. schools since the early ’80s, Arizona State (12-6, 4-2) Anyone Can Try Out!

ASU’s Amanda Levens, the Pac 10 player of the week, scored 15 points in both wins over USC and UCLA. Reason to celebrate A sea of crimson and gray confet ti filled the air at Friel Court on Sat urday evening after Washington State defeated its first ranked oppo nent in three years. “I’m feeling good. It was all about heart,” Washington State’s Victoria Harrod told The Spokesman-Re view after the 67-64 win over the Ducks. Harrod’s rebound off Jamie Craighead’s missed shot with five seconds left capped off the Cougar win. “This was a great win,” said WSU coach Jenny Przekwas, whose Cougars are now 8-8 overall and 3-3 in the Pac-10. “I felt coming into the weekend that we really needed a split. I thought winning two would be tough, but I don't think I would have counted on the split this way.” After the game, Oregon coach Jody Runge said the injuries to starters Angelina Wolvert and Lind sey Dion were not the reason the Ducks lost to the Cougars for the first time in 11 games. “I didn't think it was difficult,” Runge told the Review. “You just slide different people in (the start ing lineup). It creates a lack of flow in your offense. But I don’t think we brought the fight tonight by the players who play significant min utes. They did not lead. They did not get things straightened out on the floor.” In the polls After the Cougars snapped the Ducks’ six-game winning streak, Oregon dropped two spots in this week’s ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. The Ducks are now ranked No. 20. Arizona clings to No. 25, moving down from the 19th spot.
