Stanford too much for Ducks
■Stanford defeats the Ducks
behind Nicole Powell’s
15th career double-double
By Hank Hager
Oregon Daily Emerald
When it came right down to it,
Nicole Powell was just too much.
Fourth-ranked Stanford, behind
a career day from its sophomore for
ward; outlasted the Oregon
women’s basketball team Sunday at
Maples Pavilion, 91-76.
Powell, who played every posi
tion but center, posted 23 points in
39 minutes for the Cardinal (16-1
overall, 6-0 Pacific-10 Conference),
but more importantly, set a Stanford
single-game record with 21 re
bounds. She also had seven assists,
narrowly missing her fourth career
triple-double.
In a game matched between two
of the conference’s top squads, con
sistency was the key. Early on, the
Ducks (10-7, 5-3) went on a 9-0 run
that put them up 15-4. Stanford
would answer back minutes later
with an 11-4 run of their own.
Late in the second half, Stanford
went on a 12-0 that put them up for
good, 66-56.
“They made a couple runs in the
second half that we weren’t able to
respond to, and that was the differ
ence in the game,” Oregon head
coach Bev Smith told KSCR radio
after the game.
For most of the game, the Ducks
held up against the tough Stanford
defense. In what would ultimately
be a quick, up-tempo game, Oregon
was able to stay afloat by going 9-of
23 from beyond the three-point arc.
Senior Edniesha Curry was 5-of-7
from three-point land, and tied jun
ior Shaquala Williams for the team
lead in points with 19.
Down 46-40 at the half, the Ducks
saw Stanford dominate early on.
Free throws from senior Lindsey
Yamasaki and freshman T’Nae
Thiel put the Cardinal up by nine,
but a pivotal lay in and free throw
attempt by Curry gave Oregon
much-needed momentum. Minutes
later, on the strength of three-point
ers by Williams and senior Jamie
Craighead, the Ducks were tied with
Stanford at 51.
Seniors Ndidi Unaka and Alyssa
Fredrick helped put the Ducks up
56-54 with a little more than 14
minutes left in the half, but by then,
Stanford’s dominance had begun to
show through. From that point on, it
was all Powell, who posted six
points and six rebounds in the
game’s final 10 minutes.
“One of the things we talked
about as a basketball team comiiig
into the game was we wanted to see
what Stanford was made of,” Smith
said. “See what Nicole Powell was
made of and the rest of their players
besides Yamasaki and (Kelley)
Suminski. To give our team credit,
we definitely took some different
things away from them.”
In addition to Powell’s 23 points,
Thiel had 19, senior Lauren St. Clair
posted 17, and Yamasaki added 12.
Oregon is now 4-7 when they allow
three or more players to score in
double figures.
After shooting well early on, the
Ducks fell off sharply, ending the
game 25-for-73 from the field, and
17-of-30 from the free throw line.
Sophomore Cathrine Kraayeveld
led Oregon with 14 rebounds, a ca
reer high, as the Ducks nearly
matched Stanford on the boards.
The Cardinal ended the game with
48 rebounds, while Oregon collect
ed 46.
The Ducks were able to keep
close to the Cardinal for the first 33
minutes of the game. Fatigue played
a factor toward the end, with several
Oregon players visibly tired.
The Ducks have lost 15 straight
games in Palo Alto, Calif., a streak
that now spans three decades.
“Stanford is a team that plays
hard for 40 minutes, runs hard for
40 minutes, and we’ve got to get
where that’s our kind of basketball
game,” Smith said. “If we have the
effort we had against Stanford, we
will be OK in our other Pac-10
games.”

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 14). You've had to
claw your way up the ladder, working long hours
for low wages. Did you complain? Well, maybe,
but you had to do it anyway, right? Well, not any
longer. This year, you'll be paid well for what you
do. It's about time.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Today is a 7 -
Friends are what it's all about. That will become
clear now, when your friends come through for
you. Even somebody you thought was in your
way could do you a good deed. Show that you' re
a good friend, too, by keeping a promise.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Today is an 8 - Bet
ter settle down and take care of business. You'd
rather run and play, but that's not a good idea.
In fact, too much frivolity during working hours
could cost you money.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) - Today is an 8 -
You're traveling this week, or you wish you
were. Either that, or a fascinating foreigner has
captured your imagination. The best adventures
start with good ideas, and today you're full of
them.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 6 - The
pile of problems you're facing is daunting, but
don't lose faith. You'll find a solution to every
problem. One way is to delegate some of them
to others. Train a whole team of problem
solvers, then manage them.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 7 - You need
to have a long talk with a technical expert. This
analyst, therapist, attorney or engineer can help
solve your problem. If you're already married to
this person, so much the better.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7 - The
mountain of paperwork you face is downright
intimidating. How will you ever get through it?
Well, here's one idea: Get a large trash can and
put it right next to your desk. No fair sweeping
the whole pile into it without reading anything,
butscanningisOK
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is an 8 - Your
weekend project should be just about finished.
Going back to work could be like a vacation by
comparison. You should feel pretty good about
yourself. Host a celebration to show loved ones
what you've done.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is a 7 -
You're still in a secretive mood, and this is just
as it should be. You have a lot of planning to do
before getting into your next big project. It pays
to plan carefully.

tise a product or service? Volunteer for a new
assignment? Better work out a routine. The or
ders will soon pour in.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is an 8 -
Does it seem like you can see more clearly? Fig
