UO KO’d by ASU,
lose place in Pac
B Ducks lose to Arizona State
for the first time in six years
By Adam Jude
Oregon Daily Emerald
Before it went down to Arizona
for a two-game road swing, the No.
22 Oregon women’s basketball
team was sitting
atop the Pacific
10 Conference,
tied with un
ranked Arizona
State for the
league lead.
By the time
they got back to
Eugene, the Ducks (12-7 overall, 5
4 Pac-10) found themselves in fifth
place after dropping both matches
to Arizona and Arizona State.
In the latter contest, Oregon was
fouled by the flu, nagging injuries
and several hand-checking viola
tions, and fell for the first time in
11 tries to the Sun Devils, 73-63
Saturday in Tempe.
“We just have to get better at the
fundamentals,” said head coach
Jody Runge after losing for just the
second time to Arizona State in
her eight-year career at Oregon.
“We’ve got to get better defensive
ly, and we’ve got to execute our of
fense better; our offensive re
bounding was horrible tonight.”
Despite shooting 51 percent, the
Oregon defense could not stop the
high-powered Arizona State (15-6,
7-2) offense, which shot 54.5 per
cent with three players scoring in
double figures.
Junior center Melody Johnson, a
transfer from Colorado, led Ari
zona State with 20 points and five
rebounds. Beaverton native Betsy
Boardman, a freshman, had a ca
reer-high 19 points against the
Ducks, while junior transfer
Amanda Levens added 18.
Junior sharp-shooter Jamie
Craighead paced the Ducks with
17 points on a 6-for-12 perform
ance (5-for-10 from three-point
range).
Runge said that the Ducks are
not fundamentally sound right
now, especially with the nagging
injuries to senior Angelina Wolvert
(knee and flu), senior Lindsey
Dion (ankle) and sophomore
Kourtney Shreve, who did not
score against the Devils.
“We’ve got to take a mental atti
tude of ‘We’re not very good right
now, and we need to get better,”’
Runge told KUGN (590 AM). “I
thought our effort was a lot better
tonight than it was at Arizona, but
we have not been working hard at
practice, we obviously had some
people hurt... that doesn’t translate
effort into technique.
“The injuries are still a huge is
sue; Ange is still sick and Lind
sey’s in a lot of pain.”
Oregon committed 25 personal
fouls, compared to Arizona State’s
13, which led to a 13-point spread
from the charity stripe (Oregon
was 6-for-ll, while Arizona State
shot 19-for-30 from the line).
After trailing 39-34 at halftime,
the Ducks broke within two on a
Dion layin (Craighead assist) with
11:57 remaining. But by the 2:31
mark, the Sun Devils had opened
up a 69-57 lead, essentially clinch
ing their sixth consecutive victory
to give them sole possession of
first place. It was Arizona’s first
win over the Ducks since Jan. 28,
1995.
“We’ve just got to go back to
work, and individually they’ve got
to start working on being prepared
to do the things that allow them to
stay in front of the drive, and par
ticularly block people out and play
without fouling,” Runge said.
The Ducks have lost four of five,
dropping them a game behind Ari
zona, Washington and Stanford.
Oregon heads to Stanford Thurs
day, where the team has not won
since 1987.
