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, Adam Amalo Emerald Stanford sophomore guard Nicole Powell, seen here in a 77-72 victory over Oregon on Thursday, was named the Pac-10 Player of the Week for the third time this season. 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.
