Jackson continued from page 7 gon junior guard Freddie Jones said. The last Oregon player to score a triple-double was Ron Lee, against Montana State on Dec. 7,1972. Lee was one of the famed “Kamikaze Kids,” along with Kent. “When you say the first time since 72, and you say the last guy was Ronnie Lee, I don’t think you need to say anything more,” Kent said. “He was one of those special, gifted players.” Lee holds the all-time Duck ca reer scoring record by more than 100 points, and had games scoring 41, 34 and 33 points. Dion continued from page 7 a severe high ankle sprain, but the doctor still gave the OK to allow Dion to play. “His decision to let her play made a huge difference in this game, because without her 1 don’t think we would have been able to get it done,” head coach Jody Runge said. While she said it took awhile for her ankle to warm up, Dion entered the game mid-way through the first half and make her presence known « immediately. She was 2-for-2 in the opening session, scoring four points. But, more importantly, she scored five of the team’s eight final points in regulation. For the game, Dion was 7-for-12 from the field, and her 15 points were a season high. “I don’t want to say I was in the zone... but I had a lot of confi dence,” Dion said. She was so confident that at the Jackson downplayed the triple double, saying the win was more important than the achievement. i (It feels good to have success as an individual and as a team.

C ( Lindsey did a good job of finding openings in our zone. I thought she played with a lot of guts and courage. In the past four years, she has been the heart and soul of this Ducks’team. June Daugherty Washington head coach Nonetheless, Dion got the Ducks into the overtime with five straight points late in the game — a three pointer with 4:35 remaining and a jumper at the 3:58 mark — to tie the game at 51. Jackson completed the triple double with 9:25 left in the contest, with a fast break assist to Chris Christoffersen, who laid it in for his only field goal of the game. The points gave Oregon an 18-point lead, its second-largest of the game. The Creswell native got most of his points the way he has all season — fighting for rebounds, tipping in shots and generally hustling around the court for his teammates and himself. Jackson also contributed from long range, ending an Oregon 3 point barrage in the second half when he hit a trey from the right side with 12:17 left to put the Ducks up by 18. The three-pointer was Oregon’s fifth in a run that “Lindsey did a good job of find ing openings in our zone,” Wash ington head coach June Daugherty said. “I thought she played with a lot of guts and courage. In the past four years, she has been the heart and soul of this Ducks’ team.” In Oregon’s six previous games, Dion averaged just 6.8 points with the sprained ankle. After Thurs day’s 77-76 loss to Washington State, Runge said Dion would not be playing against the Huskies. “When I saw her come off the bench for the first time I was ex tremely pleased,” junior Jamie Craighead said. “She stepped up when we needed her to; those were huge shots she took. She hasn’t had a lot of confidence in her shot, so if she didn’t have it before, she should have it now. And that [bodes well] for us in the next five games.” Along with Dion, the Oregon seniors have never lost to Washing ton. The Ducks have won 11 straight games against the Huskies.

"I guess sometimes when the ball is in your hands, it just goes your way,” Jackson said. Not everything went Jackson’s way Saturday night. The freshman fouled out of the game for only the second time this season. Jackson committed his fifth foul with 2:31 left in the contest. But despite the foul-out, Jackson marveled at his accomplishment Saturday night. “Everybody wants a triple-dou ble,” Jackson said. Well, now Jackson has one to add to his growing list of feats in an Ore gon uniform, with still three more years to try to do it again.
