going to give it all we have.”
Perfect on the road, the Cardinal
come to McArthur Court tonight at
7 p.m. to challenge the Ducks in
what could be the most important
game of the season for Oregon.
The Ducks (12-10 overall, 7-6
Pac-10) are falling fast, having lost
their last two games by a combined
25 points.
However, Oregon played their
toughest game of the season Jan. 13
when they visited Stanford at
Maples Pavilion. The Ducks stayed
close to the Cardinal before losing
by 15, but that margin was not in
dicative of the way they played.
“We watched film after that game,
and we just did the little things
wrong,” senior Alyssa Fredrick
said. “If we can correct those, I think
we’ll be in pretty good shape against
them this time.”
In their first meeting, the Ducks
were able to hold Yamasaki, an Ore
gon native, to 12 points in 21 min
utes. However, Powell lit the Ducks
up, collecting a Stanford-record 21
rebounds and posting 23 points.
The two represent a majority of
the Stanford offense, but certainly
not all of it.
“They are pretty well-rounded as
a team,” Fredrick said. “Even if we
stop (Powell and Yamasaki), I’m sure
they’ll have (Lauren) St. Clair shoot
ing threes. We just have to focus on
them as a team, not individuals.”
The Cardinal, who haven’t won a
national championship since the
1991-92 season, are on a roll and al
most a cinch to win the conference
title, as they are three-and-a-half
games ahead of second place Ari
zona State (18-6, 9-4).
“We have to look at Stanford and
break them down and see what
their strengths our and how to take
them away,” Oregon head coach
Bev Smith said. “We need play
against those strengths that they
have instead of playing against the
whole Stanford tradition.”
Of concern to the Ducks is the
size of the Stanford frontcourt. The
Ducks have outrebounded their
opponents in four of their last five
games, but have not played a team
with Stanford’s ability.
But the one place Oregon may
have the advantage is in the back
court. Senior Edniesha Curry and
junior Shaquala Williams are two
of the Pac-lO’s best guards. Stan
ford has St. Clair and freshman Kel
ly Suminski, but is relatively young
at the position.
“I think their size hurts us because
they will post up Yamasaki and Pow
ell against our smaller guards, but I
think we can challenge them with
our quickness,” Smith said.
Whatever the result, if Oregon
plays well against the vaunted Car
dinal, it could be a confidence
builder for the team’s remaining
four games.
“I think it’s a huge game for us in
the sense that we have to compete
and see where it takes us, and we
might play our best friggin’ game of
the year, but that doesn’t mean
we’ll win,” Smith said.

just grabs his gear and gets going. ”
Harris has had a few setbacks
throughout his career at Oregon, pri
marily because of knee injuries.
Soon after spring term 2001, Harris
had surgery on both knees.
The rest of the Oregon team under
stands what Harris has dealt with,
and they appreciate his all-out effort
in every drill. Redshirt freshman
Shane Webster, who wrestles in the
174-pound weight class just above
Harris’ 165-pounds, said every as
pect of his wrestling has improved
thanks to having the opportunity to
drill with Harris.
“It’s a privilege to work put with
him,” Webster said. “The way he is
wrestling right now, I can see him
winning it all.”
Besides wrestling, there are other
aspects of Harris’ life that keep him
busy. A psychology major and father
of a 4-year-old girl, Harris plans to at
tend graduate school after receiving
his degree from Oregon.
Even with the hectic schedule of
the wrestling squad and academic
responsibilities, Harris still finds
time to spend with his daughter. He
gives much of the credit of being
able to balance his academic, athlet
ic and family life to his supportive
girlfriend, who “understands what
a wrestler’s life is like. ”
Harris is also appreciative of the
late Dave Abraham, an Oregon as
sistant coach who died in May.
Abraham told Harris to write down
his goals, and Harris has taken this
advice to heart, posting motiva
tional notes on his refrigerator and
front door.
He also has made a tape that he
listens to while training. The tape
includes Harris’s own voice en
couraging himself to work hard. He
said that the impact of these moti
vational techniques is evident dur
ing his matches.
“I don’t really question myself be
fore matches and say, ‘Maybe I might
lose’ or ‘What ifs,”’ Harris said. “I just
know that I am capable of winning,
and I just go out and do what I can do.
It just happens for me.”
The Ducks next compete on Fri
day against UC-Bakersfield and Fres
no State, where Harris can continue
focusing one match at a time.
