“That was a game won on nerves and
sheer will,” said Oregon head coach Bev
Smith. “I don’t think we could play anoth
er team in the nation that would give us a
more competitive game.”
Similar to Oregon’s woeful shooting
performance in the first meeting of the
year since Jan. 19 — Oregon State’s first
win at Mac Court in nine years — the
Ducks shot just 26.7 percent in the first
half Sunday, as the Beavers took a 29-19
lead into the break.
“We shot 26 percent. We didn’t know
how we were still in the game,” Craig
head said.
“We weren’t too discouraged,”
Kraayeveld said of the halftime deficit.
“We held them to 29 points, so we were
playing good defense. Our offense just
wasn’t there.”
In the second half, Oregon’s offense
showed up, and the Beavers were taken out
of the game mentally.
Oregon State senior Felicia Ragland
was issued a technical for arguing a trav
eling call with an official early in the sec
ond half. From there, the Beavers and
head coach Judy Spoelstra were constant
ly battling the refs.
“I think the momentum was really tak
en away in the second half by the offi
cials,” Spoelstra said. “I think we were the
better team, and we deserved to win.”
Kraayeveld, who finished the game
with 12 points and 10 rebounds, convert
ed a three-point play with a free throw at
the 12:55 mark, cutting the Beavers’ lead
to 34-29.
A Shaquala Williams jumper at 9:27
capped off an 8-2 run that gave the Ducks
a 37-36 lead.
“It obviously wasn’t a pretty game, but
we won the game because of our defense,”
Williams said.
The Beavers led by as much as seven in
the final seven minutes, but Craighead cut
the lead to 44-40 with a three-pointer with
6:08 to play.
“Maybe offensively we didn’t show
up, but everyone came to play today,”
Craighead said.
Oregon freshman Andrea Bills, who
had a career-high 15 rebounds, hit a short
jumper with 1:54 left to tie the game at 48.
“We’re looking at the big picture,” Bev
Smith said. “Oregon State was just a hurdle
for us to get over to get where we want.”

call a timeout before time expired.
They were eventually granted that
request. However, Smith said she
felt there should have been less
time on the clock.
The clock ended up being reset
at 1.2 seconds, and both coaches
denied that any negative words
were exchanged.
“It’s hard to hear in (Mac Court),”
Spoelstra said. “We were both try
ing to get our points across. I have
complete respect for Bev and
would never argue with another
coach in that position.”
Said Smith, “It was just a differ
ence of opinion, and maybe we
were a little too animated than we
should have been.”
Before the game, Smith said the
contest was going to be physical
and was going to bring out the best
in both teams — at least in competi
tiveness, if not in ability. That
showed, as both teams failed to
shoot better than 33 percent from
the field, including a 23 percent clip
for Oregon State in the second half.
“They’re a good team, and it’s al
ways going to be a good game when
Oregon and Oregon State play,”
Kraayeveld said.
Oregon, which has won 13 of 14
against the Beavers, will move on to
the third round of the Women’s Na
tional Invitation Tournament. The
Beavers, on the other hand, finish
their season after losing at McArthur
Court for the ninth time since 1993.
“We’ve been hearing them talk all
week,” Oregon sharpshooter Jamie
Craighead said. “It’s a good feeling to
know they talk all week and they
don’t own McArthur Court.
“It ended their season, and we’re
moving on.”
The loss marks the end of a ca
reer for Oregon State senior Felicia
Ragland. What has turned into a
mini-rivalry on its own between
Ragland and the Ducks ends in ac
rimonious fashion.
After drawing a traveling viola
tion at the outset of the second half,
Ragland was charged with a techni
cal foul for arguing with a referee.
She finished her career game fitting
ly, grabbing 14 rebounds and scoring
11 points en route to her fifth dou
ble-double in a row against Oregon.
Her technical may be what most
Duck fans will remember. The 3,140
in attendance immediately jumped
to their feet after the referee initiated
the two shots that Oregon’s
Williams took after the call and gave
the Ducks what very well could
have been the fuel for the win.
Spoelstra felt the Ducks didn’t
truly earn that momentum. In her
opinion, the officials took the game
out of Oregon State’s hands.
Oregon State was visibly upset
after the game. Leading by 10 at
halftime, the Beavers seemed to be
in control heading onto the court at
halftime. However, Oregon’s de
fense came alive.
“We should have beat them,’’
Oregon State freshman Juleen
Smith said. “There is no excuse for
us to lose.”
With the win, Oregon now trav
els to Seattle on Wednesday to play
fellow Pacific-10 Conference foe
Washington. The Ducks and
Huskies will meet for the fourth
time this season.
After playing perhaps their No. 1
rival, Oregon goes on to a close sec
ond. There’s no love lost between
the two schools, and it promises to
be a grudge match.
But throw away the scouting re
ports and anything the two teams
have done against each other this
season. The game will be won by
the players who will show they
want it more.
“I think I hate UW even more be
cause I’m from Washington,” Craig
head said. “It’s going to be about the
team who wants it more. I’m look
ing forward to it.”
