said.
Technically, the Sun Devils shot
71.4 percent from the field in the sec
ond half, compared to the Ducks' poor
34.3 percent showing in that time.
Arizona State improved to 12-14,
4-11, thanks in large part to Mason’s
team-high 25 points, and now it has
an outside chance at making thf
NIT itself.
“It would’ve been easy to throw
the towel in, but they came in reall}
focused,” Arizona State head coacf
Rob Evans said of his team. “This k
a great win for our guys. ”
Now, it all comes down to this foi
the Ducks: There are two games left
They need to win both if they warn
to keep playing beyond March 10.
And it must start with a tough up
set victory against the revenge
minded Wildcats, who have not for
gotten about their loss in Eugene.
“We just want a win,” said Jones,
who scored the most points by a
Duck since Orlando Williams tal
lied 40 on Feb. 19, 1994. “For me,
this is not an individual sport. It’s
all about the team, and we're not
giving up.
“I’m going to fight until the final
whistle of the final game.”

cause Oregon, instead of Arizona
State, is the underdog, the one try
ing to spoil the giant’s hopes.
“We like to be the giant killers ...
we haven’t had the pressure on us as
of late,” said junior jamie Craighead,
who scored 11 points against Ari
zona State. “And they’re coming in
with a chance at winning the Pac-10
title, so we get to knock them off. So
it’s kind of been a relief for us.”

And it did.
Wolvert’s miracle three-pointer
was the stone that killed Goliath, as
Oregon (15-11 overall, 8-8 Pac-10)
knocked off the first-place Sun Dev
ils (19-8, 11-4), 63-56, at McArthur
Court Thursday night.
“If it didn’t go in, it would not
have surprised me. Let’s put it that
way,” said Wolvert, who led the
Ducks with 15 points and seven re
bounds. “It came off the palm of my
hand, and it just went in. It’s just
lucky; it’s not like I’ve got the green
light or something.”
“It was awesome. I knew she was
going to make it though, because
she’s been practicing that in prac
tice,” Edwards said. “It kind of
shocked everyone, I think, but it
was awesome.”
Junior guard Jamie Craighead
compared Wolvert’s shot to throw
Ducks lost in Tempe Feb. 3, Oregon
had won 11 straight against the Dev
ils. That weekend in Arizona, the
Ducks were dropped from the top of
the Pac-10 and began their five-game
descent into the middle of the pack.
“We were sick of losing, and we
knew we needed to win to have a
chance of getting to the NCAA
Tournament,” said sophomore
point guard Alissa Edwards, who
sank consecutive three-pointers
late in the game. “We just didn’t
want to lose anymore.”

“It was good,” she said, “I was
smiling all the way down the court. ”
The Ducks didn’t look like a
sixth-place team as they stayed one
step ahead of Arizona State for most
of the game. In fact, a putback by
senior forward Brianne Meharry
with 13:41 left in the first half gave
Oregon a 9-8 lead, and the Ducks
never trailed again.
Edwards posted solid numbers in
her second consecutive start at
point guard. She finished with 10
points, four assists and four re
bounds — with no turnovers — in
36 minutes of play.
As a team, the Ducks committed
just 13 turnovers, compared to their
season average of 20.
“I was really pleased with our per
formance tonight,” head coach Jody
Runge said. “I think that although we
didn’t keep them off the offensive
boards really well, we did a great job
of defense without fouling. Overall,
we did a pretty good job of neutraliz

“We just want to come out and
play well,” Wolvert said. “I don’t
know what we’re looking for right
now, other than to just come out
and play well and have fun, but
that’s just all we can do. At the end
of the season, other people are go

be and what’s going to happen.”

Craighead struggled on offense
but finished with 11 points and
three steals. Senior forward Lindsey
Dion scored just five points but had
three assists and four steals.
Senior center Jenny Mowe scored
nine points, grabbed five boards and
went 5-of-5 from the foul line, in
cluding two clutch free throws with
four minutes left to give Oregon an
eight-point lead.
After the game, players talked
about the win as if it were a glimpse of
what could have been this season.
“It’s kind of frustrating knowing
that we’ve beat both the teams that are
supposed to be number one,” Ed
wards said, referring to the Feb. 17
home win against Washington. “That
means we could be up there too.”
“It shows that we could be in the
tournament, or maybe should be in
the tournament, but I don’t know if
we’ll get in or not,” Craighead said.
Next up for Oregon, Arizona comes
to Mac Court at 1 p.m. Saturday.
