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.”

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.
