Stanford earns Pac-10 title
■ The No. 2 Cardinal grab hold
of at least a share of the Pac-10
women’s championship with
four regular season games left
By Adam Jude
Oregon Daily Emerald
With a sweep of Oregon and Ore
gon State last weekend, the second
ranked Stanford women’s basketball
team earned at least a share of the Pa
cific-10 Conference championship
— its 11th in the last 16 years.
“We’re a really different team than
were in the last couple years —
there’s no comparison,” Stanford
head coach Tara VanDerveer said af
ter defeating Oregon, 77-72, at
McArthur Court on Thursday. “We
have two absolutely fabulous players
on our team (sophomore Nicole
Powell and senior Lindsey Yamasa
ki) and a bunch of different people
who are doing great things.”
Last season, Stanford (24-1 overall,
14-0 Pac-10) was swept on the road
by Oregon and Oregon State.
“That was one of the low points of
Stanford basketball,” said Yamasaki,
an Oregon City native who scored 24
points against the Ducks on Thurs
day. “To see where we’ve come and
see how we’ve evolved over the past
few years is amazing.”
With four games remaining, Stan
ford looks to go undefeated in confer
ence play for the fourth time in school
history. Since women’s basketball be
came a Pac-10-sponsored sport in
1986, no other school has ever gone
through the Pac-10 without a loss.
There is a new dimension to the
conference championship this year
with the inaugural Pac-10 Tourna
ment, which Oregon will host at Mac
Court beginning March 1.
“We can’t celebrate because
you’ve got to turn around and play
the tournament,” VanDerveer said.
“I’ve always liked playing (at Mac
Court). This is a great basketball are
na, and I think our team has played
really well here.”
Powell, who was named the Pac-10
Player of the Week for the third time this
season, recorded her eighth double-dou
ble of the year against the Beavers.
Stanford, the winner of 16 straight,

could claim the Pac-10 title outright
with a win this weekend.
Washing away
the competition
The game of the week is Washing
ton-Stanford, to be played in Palo
Alto on Thursday.
Five straight wins have moved the
Huskies (15-8,10-4) into sole posses
sion of second place in the confer
ence. Junior guard Loree Payne post
ed 20 points in a 68-50 win over
Arizona State (19-7,10-5).
“We tried to wear them out, and it
got us open looks,” Washington head
coach June Daugherty said. “It feels
great to be in second place right now.”
Arizona State guard Amanda
Levens, the second-leading scorer
in the conference, was held to just
two points on l-of-12 shooting
against Washington.
“We just stunk,” Arizona State
head coach Charli Turner Thorne
said. “It’s a long trip, and we were
tired. We could sit here and pretend
we’re not tired, but when you’re
short on all your shots you just see it
out there.”
The Huskies, an Elite Eight team
last year, boast a 6-1 record at home
this season. Oregon, by the way, ends
its regular season with a trip to Seat
tle on Feb. 23.
