Analysis
continued from page 1B
But home is where the heart is.
After turning the season around
some at McArthur Court, the
Ducks entered Pac-10 play 8-3
overall. The success ran into con
ference play, where the Ducks
jumped out into first place and
looked to be on their way to a
third-straight Pac-10 title.
But then, suddenly, the bottom
fell out.
The Ducks went to Washington
on Jan. 18 and eked out a win
against the Huskies, but at a major
cost.
Injuries dropped seniors Angeli
na Wolvert (knee) and Lindsey
Dion (ankle). Two days later, the
remaining Oregon seniors did
something they’ve never done be
fore — they lost to Washington
State.
For more than a month, the
Ducks struggled to regain their
confidence and lost five straight
and six of seven. The Ducks
dropped as low as sixth place in
the conference standings during
the slump.
When Oregon seemed to finally
turn things around with a home
victory against first-place Wash
ington, it went back on the road
and lost to last-place UCLA, all but
killing its NCAA hopes.
“We’ve had some adversity, and
we just need to fight through it,”
Runge said after the UCLA game
Feb. 23. “We really have no margin
of error for winning out our last
four games.”
And the Ducks did just that —
winning at USC and coming home
to sweep first-place Arizona State
and Arizona.
Just one day after the Arizona
win, eight players met with Moss
to request that Runge be fired at
the end of the season. The week
leading up to Saturday’s Civil War
game was an emotional one for
Oregon, and Runge described the
experience as “surreal.”
But, through it all, the Oregon
seniors still have one last chance
to dance their way into the spot
light.
