Yamasaki continued from page 5A In her last three seasons with the Cardinal basketball team, she failed to win a national championship, as Stanford lost in the NCAA Tourna ment to Georgia in 2000, Oklahoma in 2001 and Colorado in 2002. Last season, Stanford volleyball won its fifth national title, a fact not lost on Yamasaki, who said she wasj'so emotional” for her former teammates. Still, she doesn’t regret her decision to drop volleyball after her first year in college. If she hadn’t, she may have never had the opportunity to be draft ed by the Sol in the second round. “I feel like I’ve made decisions for myself that have positively and negatively affected my career,” Ya masaki said. Often considered a player that got away from Oregon — especially since the Ducks have a high-profile basketball program — Yamasaki said she never really considered Oregon. Instead, her choices nar rowed to Vanderbilt, Connecticut and the eventual winner, Stanford. “My mindset was that I was going to go somewhere different,” she said. That came as no surprise to Shaquala Williams, a former oppo nent on the basketball court. Williams, a senior point guard for the Ducks, said she has known Ya masaki since the two were in eighth grade and didn’t have a doubt in her mind where she would attend school. “Since the day she saw a Stanford uniform, I knew that was where she was going,” Williams said. “There was no surprise there, and I was happy for her and that she had such a great career.” Today’s volleyball match between Oregon and Stanford — scheduled for a 7 p.m. start at Maples Pavilion — marks the final time Yamasaki will take on the Ducks. In her five seasons as a Cardinal, she has duked it out with Oregon a total of 11 times. In volleyball, she has never lost to the Ducks, as a 3-0 record would attest, and in what has become one of the nation’s top con ference rivalries, Yamasaki was 5-3 against the Ducks in basketball. “She’s an all-around good play er,” Oregon senior basketball play er Alissa Edwards said. “I just know from playing against her that she’s a great player. I think it would have been great if she would have been here.” Save for a possible exhibition Lindsey Yamasaki file Senior outside hitter Bom: Oregon City (June 2,1980) 1998 Oid Spice Athlete of the Year...Second-round draft choice of the WNBA’s Miami Sol in 2002...2001 -2002 honorable mention Associated Press All-American (basketball)...Member, 2001 2002 All-Pacific-10-Conference team (basketball)...2002 volleyball statistics: sixth on Stanford with 79 kills, has 13 service aces and is second on the team with 114 digs. game at McArthur Court, Yamasaki will never again get a chance to play at The Pit. Oregon fans will miss that, as it offered them a chance to remind Yamasaki that she should have played for the Ducks. “My freshman year, it was really harsh when I played at Oregon,” she said. “I really didn’t feel comfortable there until my junior year. It wasn’t a comfortable situation.” But Stanford has been a comfort able situation, and Yamasaki has made the most of it. Contact the sports reporter at hankhager@dailyemerald.com.
