Forward Brianne Meharry looks for a celebratory hug after beating Washington.
Meharry
continued from page 11
ways come off the bench,” she said.
“And I’m always the one where if
someone gets hurt or someone gets
in trouble, I’m in. That’s just been
my role. I’m the kind of the person
who wants to be in the game in the
end, when it really matters.”
“She’s willing to take whatever
role we’ve given her, and she’s nev
er complained,” head coach Jody
Runge said. “She’s always done
what’s best for the team.”
Perhaps Bri’s disappointment
this season stems from the fact
that’s she’s never known the mean
ing of failure. She won two Pac-10
championships as a Duck, and in
four years at Oregon City High
School in Gladstone, her team lost
just two games. Her four state
championships and three USA To
day national titles helped her be
come an All-American during her
senior year.
“She has a winner’s mentality,”
Dion said of her freshman room
mate. “I don’t think she’d have it
any other way; she wouldn’t let it
be any other way. She’s a person
that thrives off success.”
Of her four years at Oregon,
Meharry said living with Dion at
the University Inn was one of the
most memorable experiences.
“Definitely rooming with Lind
sey — I’ll never forget that because
our freshman year was crazy,”
Meharry said. “We hated each oth
er.”
Both Meharry and Dion said liv
ing with another person for the first
time was hectic, especially because
Dion was “ultra clean,” Meharry
said, while Bri was “the whole oth
er extreme,” Dion said.
“It’s a funny story because we’re
such good friends now,” Meharry
said.
Along with a couple of champi
onship trophies, Meharry has solid
ified her place in the Oregon record
book. She recently became just the
15th player in school history to
reach the 1,000-point plateau.
“I just try to play hard every
minute and hope that everyone else
will do the same,” she said.
Senior Jenny Mowe, known for
her playful demeanor with team
mates, said she can’t help but have
a good time with Meharry.
“I’ve really enjoyed playing with
Bri,” Mowe said. “She’s always
turning around to me; we’ll be bat
tling some team, and she’ll just turn
around and say, ‘Let’s just have fun,
Jenny, let’s just have fun.’ She’s the
kind of player who does everything
with a smile. She fouls with a
smile. She always says stuff like,
‘Jesus!’ And she’s got a big grin on
her face.”
Philosophically, Meharry said
she just wants to take advantage oi
the time she has as a basketball
player, which may be extended
with a shot at the WNBA, but be
fore shooting for the big league, Bri
will get married this summer.
“Life’s too short and college is too
short to be unhappy when you’re
out on the court,” Meharry said.
“So no matter what happens, I’m
always telling Jenny ‘Hey, have
fun.’ Especially this year, our last
year in college and our last year
with the fans.”
The fans may get one of their last
chances to see Bri smile at 7 p.m.
tonight in McArthur Court against
Arizona State, when the Ducks will
decide their postseason fate.
