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.

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.

end of regulation she drove the
length of the court and took the po
tential buzzer beater, which
clanged off the back of the rim.
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.

an 18-point gap.
"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.
