Bruins beat Arizona in OT LOS ANGELES — Hurting with a sprained ankle, yet fresh from not practicing all week, Dan Gadzuric surprised his own UCLA team mates with the game of his career. Gadzuric scored 22 points and grabbed 17 rebounds as UCLA (No. 24 AP) upset No. 8 Arizona 79-77 in overtime Thursday night. Gadzuric tied his career highs af ter missing practice and spending most of the week on crutches be cause of the left ankle he sprained in a victory at DePaul on Saturday. Doctors cleared him to play in the afternoon, so he chucked the walk ing boot he'd been using for a day. “I just totally forgot about my an kle,” said Gadzuric, who had tape running from his ankle to his knee to secure the injury. “I concentrated on good position and not fouling. ” All week, UCLA said Gadzuric "■was doubtful to play, let alone start, but he endured 41 of the 45 minutes as the Bruins won their fifth straight. “I’m speechless, really,” teammate Matt Barnes said of Gadzuric’s play. Arizona coach Lute Olson had plenty to say. “I thought Gadzuric played better than any player we’ve played against all year long,” he said. “I saw him in prep school and thought he might be ready for the NBA. ” After Richard Jefferson missed for Arizona at the buzzer, students poured out of the bleachers and mobbed the players at center court to celebrate UCLA’s third consecutive victory over a ranked Pac-10 team. “We're a scary team,” said Jason Kapono, who was held to a career low four points in last month’s loss at Arizona. “When we have all five guys clicking, we’re pretty good.” UCLA appeared to have the game in hand with a 13-point lead mid way through the second half against a team that owned four straight wins over the Bruins. But the Wild cats clawed back, thanks to the sharpshooting of Gilbert Arenas. He i had 13 points in a 24-8 run that put Arizona back in front 59-56 with 4:20 remaining. The game was tied | four times in the final 3:52. With the game tied at 66, Barnes i stole the ball, but had his shot blocked. Jefferson dunked on the fast break to put the Wildcats ahead by two with 44 seconds remaining. Gadzuric scored on a short I jumper and drew Loren Woods into his fifth foul for a tie at 68. Gadzuric missed the free throw and the Wild cats grabbed the rebound. After a timeout, the Wildcats I fought through UCLA’s press, but Arenas’ final shot sailed over the top of the basket to force overtime. The Bruins went into the five minute overtime with four fouls each on Kapono, Earl Watson and Barnes, but they outscored Arizona 11-9. The Associated Press UO soccer nets recruiting class ■The women’s soccer team lands five blue-chip recruits for 2001 -2002 season By Robbie McCallum Oregon Daily Emerald As the Oregon women’s soccer team enters its fifth year of exis tence, it must say good-bye to its pi oneer seniors, the players who were freshmen when the program began in 1997, and beckon a new class of freshmen. Fifth-year head coach Bill Steffen welcomes five new faces to the pro gram in one of the most successful recruiting classes in Oregon histo ry. “We expect all of these kids to challenge immediately,” Steffen said. “They all come from competi tive club situations. We expect them to step in and compete for starting spots right away.” Central midfielder Kelly Baird leads the list. The San Pedro, Calif., native played for Fram, one of the premier soccer clubs in Northern Cali fornia. “Kelly is very busy and very active player,” Stef fen said. “She’s excel lent at creating attacks.” Sophomore transfer Sarah Den ner brings in collegiate experience from Boston University, where she started at midfield for the Terriers. Denner hails from Eugene’s Churchill High School, where she was an All-State selection. Another local recruit, Michelle Jensen, joins the team as a goal keeper. The Junction City High School graduate and Lake Oswego Soccer Club player is considered the top goalkeeper in Oregon. Elise Minvielle of San Francisco joins the backfield as a defender. “Elise will bring a great physical presence to our backs,” Steffen said. “She’s a very strong, physical and determined player.” Nicole Renna of Austin, Texas, rounds out the list at midfield. The recruits will help ease the loss of four seniors. Blazers crush Kings as Webber watches By Landon Hall The Associated Press PORTLAND — The Sacramen to Kings were helpless without their All-Star power forward. The Portland Trail Blazers had such a big lead, they didn’t need theirs. Damon Stoudamire scored 20 points and Steve Smith had 17 as the Trail Blazers took Rasheed Wallace’s latest ejection in stride and dominated Sacramento 105 81 Thursday night. Without Chris Webber, out at least four games with a sprained left ankle, the Kings were ill equipped for the tussle between the top teams in the Western Conference. The Kings didn’t have a chance from the start, missing 14 of their first 19 shots and falling behind by 18 points in the first quarter. Coach Rick Adelman tried to motivate his starters by benching all of them 6 1/2 min utes in, but nothing worked. The lead reached 28 late in the third quarter as Stoudamire, who scored 11 in the period, had a jumper, a steal and a three-point er to make it 81-53. Vlade Divac scored 19 to lead the Kings, who fell three games behind the Blazers in the Pacific Division. Utah and San Antonio are 2 1/2 back in the race for homecourt advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs. Wallace was ejected by referee Ron Garretson for arguing an of fensive foul call with 8:02 left in the third. Wallace has a league high 29 technical fouls and ap pears on his way toward break ing his record of 38, set last season. It was Wallace’s second early exit in his last three games. He served a two-game suspension for throwing a towel at a referee against Phoenix on Feb. 1. Webber is back in Sacramento, recovering from the injury he suffered in the final second of regulation in Tuesday night’s overtime win at Utah. Bonzi Wells added 13 points for Portland. Dale Davis, who missed a game after pulling a back muscle getting out of bed, had nine rebounds. Wallace had 10 points and eight boards. The Blazers, who made nine of their first 12 shots and jumped to an 18-4 lead in Tuesday night’s 109-88 win over Minnesota, got off to a fast start again. Stoudamire made a three pointer, then intercepted Jason Williams’ pass and turned it into a layup for a 16-4 lead. A put back by Wells made it 22-6 just 6:23 into the game. The Blazers had made 10 of their first 13 at tempts, including all six jumpers from at least 14 feet. Adelman then inserted a line up that included seldom-seen Nick Anderson and almost-nev er-seen rookie Jabari Smith. The group stumbled, but even tually held its own, making four of its last six shots to end the pe riod. When the starters returned, Sacramento showed some brief life as Peja Stojakovic drove the baseline for a layup to cut a 19 point lead down to 42-29. Portland recovered quickly, thanks to Greg Anthony’s second and third three-pointers of the quarter. Call (541) 3464343 or stop by Room 300 Erb Memorial Union to place your ad today. P.O.
