— when the Ducks’ record was 2
3. The chuckle may have even
turned into a belly-aching howl for
Runge when her impressive
NCAA streak was snapped in her
first year away from the program.
Ha.
Bev took what was given to her
in her first season as the Oregon
coach. She said she never wanted
to sacrifice now for the future, but
with six freshman on the opening
day roster and just one returning
starter from last year’s squad, it
was hard not to look forward.
Ha.
Despite not making the Big
Dance, Bev remained focus, kept
her Ducks in check, and went
into the Women’s National Invita
tion Tournament with a 17-13
overall record.
Five victories later, the Ducks
made history, something Bev
Smith has a knack for doing.
Bev is simply the epitome of
Oregon women’s basketball. No,
she is Oregon basketball. She led
the program to its first postseason
appearance in 1979, and more
than two decades later, she led
them back — and claimed a na
tional championship in just her
first season.
Bev is simply the greatest female
basketball player to ever step foot
in Mac Court, and with time, could
prove to be the best coach as well.
And although she doesn’t wear
the high heels — she stands
proud without them — her soft
spoken charm is loud on the Mac
Court sidelines.
And to think it’s just the begin
ning.
The beginning of another NCAA
Tournament run, where the Ducks
are just 4-11.
At the rate she’s moving, it
wouldn’t be surprising if Bev im
proved on that record. Who
knows, she just might end up with
the last laugh.

continued from page 9
Alyssa Fredrick, a valuable re
serve for the Ducks this season, and
Ndidi Unaka, a starter for part of
the season, leave the already bare
Oregon frontcourt.
Of the four, Craighead may be
missed the most. The Elma, Wash.,
native is second all-time in three
pointers made at Oregon with 182,
only seven behind program leader
Missy Croshaw.
However, as a unit, the four pro
vided a veteran presence that
helped initiate four Oregon fresh
man into collegiate basketball.
“It was a transition year that was
probably toughest on them,” Smith
said. “They really left a pretty good
legacy. They are part of a founda
tion that will be continuing.”
But looking at the Oregon roster
for next season gives an impres
sion that the seniors will be
missed, but won’t necessarily be a
debilitating loss.
For one, Williams, the 2000 Pac
10 Player of the Year, will be back.
That’s about the only thing Duck
fans need to know, as the 5-foot-6
guard was at her best this season.
When asked about her play this
season, Smith immediately said “it
was just solid.
“She didn’t shoot the ball well
sometimes, but she always came up
big when we needed her to. It’s very
exciting to have her next season.”
Then there is the diminutive
sophomore forward Cathrine
Kraayeveld. Diminutive only in the
sense that her 6-foot-3 stature was
much smaller than the way she
played. Her 10 points and nine re
bounds per game in Pac-10 play
suggests her final two seasons in an
Oregon uniforpi are going to be bet
ter than the first two.
That’s a pretty hard thing to do,
especially considering her contri
butions in the postseason.
Two game-winning shots, one
against Oregon State and the other
against Houston in the champi
onship game, etch Kraayeveld’s
name into Oregon history.
“She is becoming a force to be.
reckoned with,” Smith said. “Her
rebounding ability was as impres
sive as anything.”
You can’t do much worse for an in
augural season than what Smith did
for the Ducks. One season coached,
and one championship won.
But now, it’s time to look forward
to next year.
“I think the things we are doing
are the right things,” she said. “We
just'have to do them better and
with more consistency.” '
