Chelsea Wagner, a Springfield
native who set a freshman record
for three-pointers last year at
Hawaii, will return to Oregon to
play for Bev Smith, the second
year women’s basketball coach an
nounced Wednesday.
A 2001 graduate of Springfield
High School where she was a
Street & Smith’s honorable men
tion All-American her junior and
senior years, Wagner averaged 8.6
points and 3.2 rebounds per game
for Hawaii last season. A 5-foot
■ 10 guard, she will redshirt in
2002-03 because of NCAA trans
fer rules and will be eligible to
play in 2003-04.
vve re excited to nave Lmelsea
come to Oregon,” Smith said.
“First of all, she’s a great student
athlete who has proven herself at
the University of Hawaii. Second,
the fact she’s a Eugene-Spring
field raised student-athlete is
great for our community and they
will enjoy seeing her contribute
to this program.”
Wagner, who nailed a freshman
school-record 37-of-115 (32 per
cent) 3-pointers, helped the Rain
bow Wahine to a 23-8 record.
Their season ended with a 62-50
loss at Oregon State in the WNIT
first round, despite Wagner scor
ing 16 points and hitting four
three-pointers.
Wagner also shot 37 percent (84
of-228) from the field and 76 per
cent (45-of-59) from the foul line.
She set a season-high with 21
points against Tulsa and also
dropped in 18 points at No. 7
ranked Louisiana Tech. Wagner
started in Hawaii’s last 14 games,
averaging a team-high 12.6 points
per game.
“It just gives us a player who’s
solid in the guard position,” said
Smith, whose Ducks will lose
three guards to graduation — Alis
sa Edwards, Kourtney Shreve and
All-American Shaquala Williams
— after next season. “She’ll make
our practices very competitive and
healthy. She’ll provide us with
three solid years after her redshirt
year is over. She’s a two and three
player who can really shoot the
ball and make things happen.”
r
A four-year letterwinner in bas
ketball and track at Springfield
High, Wagner earned the state’s
Player of the Year honors from the
Oregonian and USA Today follow
ing her senior year in which she
averaged 21.1 points, 8.2 rebounds
and 2.6 assists per game. She also
was an All-Midwestern League se
lection four straight years.
Wagner joins 5-foot-8 point
guard Corrie Mizusawa, a transfer
from Saint Mary’s, and 6-foot-3
post player Carolyn Ganes (Saska
toon, Saskatchewan) in Oregon’s
2002-03 recruiting class.
Oregon finished 22-13 last sea
son and advanced to its ninth
straight postseason tournament,
capturing the WNIT championship
