Pac-10 trophy up for grabs in women’s race
■The women’s Pac-10 title
race comes down to the wire,
with Arizona State in the lead

Just two games separate the top
three teams in the Pacific-10 Con
ference women’s hoops race, and
with two weeks left, it’s anyone’s
ball game.
Arizona State (19-7 overall, 11-3
Pac-10) leads Washington by just a
half game. The Huskies, who have
beaten the Sun Devils twice this
season, have three winnable games
remaining (Washington State, USC
and UCLA). The Sun Devils have
four games left, which, on paper,
appear much tougher; they’re in
Oregon this week and close confer
ence play at home against Califor
nia and Stanford (15-9,9-5), a team
that is also still in the hunt at third
place.
Daugherty’s Dawgs
torch Stanford
Except for that little hump in Eu
gene, everything seems to be
bouncing the
Huskies’ way
this year.
Despite ty
ing a Pac-10
record for the
most three
point field
goals, Stan
ford could
not get past
the Huskies in Seattle Sunday. The
95-87 victory keeps the Huskies in
contention for their first conference
title since 1990.
Against Stanford, Huskies head
coach June Daugherty picked up
her 200th career win.
“To do it against Stanford, at
home, with a great crowd, and how
well this team has fought all year,
it’s great for them,” Daugherty said.
“To play in games like this is why
you come to the University of
Washington.”
Stanford’s Lindsey Yamasaki
scored a career-high 34 points
against the Dawgs — including a

Megan Franza paced Washington
with 21 points and five assists,
leading her team to its seventh win
in eight games.
To seal the game, Washington
sank 16 of 20 free throws in the fi
nal two minutes.
“This is the most exciting game
I've ever been a part of,” Daugherty
told The Seattle Times.
Oregon is the only Pac-10 team
that the Huskies have not beaten
this season.
A Devil of a time
For the first time since 1993, Ari
zona State swept state rival Ari
zona.
It took an extra five minutes Sun
day, but the Sun Devils pulled
away with a 70-67 win to keep their
stake of first place.
“I think we’re very composed,”
Arizona State center Melody John
son told The Arizona Republic.
“When we’re ahead by a lot, we
don’t lose our head, and when
we’re down we stay composed and
pick away. That’s a great quality
about our team. We don’t panic ei
ther way.”
Arizona (18-8, 8-6) lost in Tucson
for the first time in 14 games.
Portland native Betsy Boardman
led the Sun Devils with 16 points,
eight rebounds and four steals.
