Ducks take Southern Oregon downtown

Oregon hits six three-pointers
in the first 10 minutes of an
exhibition blowout Friday night

It was raining in McArthur Court on
Friday night.
The Oregon women’s basketball team
shot 54.8 percent on the night, adding
six baskets from beyond the three-point
arc in the first 10 minutes as the Ducks
jumped out to a 16-0 lead to start the
game against Southern Oregon. That
run came en route to a 114-54 romp in
Oregon’s second and final exhibition
game. The Ducks held the Raiders to 28
first-half points on their way to 55 of
their own.
“We have got some great offensive flow,
and we have a great understanding that
we can be very good on the inside,” Ore
gon head coach Bev Smith said. “For us,
offensively, I feel like we are so much fur
ther ahead than last year at this time and
possibly even at the end of the year.”
Every Duck scored, with six in double
figures. The squad was led by sophomore
Brandi Davis, who had 23 points on the
night. Davis was 7-of-9 from the field and
shot six of Oregon’s 13 3-pointers.
“We have been working on my jump
shot and I was just really feeling the
game,” Davis said. “We just went out
there with a mission to play just as hard
as we did the first game.”
“She is exciting, she has a magic touch,
and she sees the hoop and makes it look
easy at times with her athleticism,” Smith
said on Davis’ shooting spree.
Oregon’s other starters also racked up
the numbers, with sophomore Andrea
Bills scoring 15 points and adding two
blocks. Junior Gathrine Kraayeveld
brought in 12 points and nine rebounds.
Senior guard Shaquala Williams
knocked in two from downtown on her
way to 10 points in 23 minutes.
Freshman Carolyn Ganes stepped it
up in the post for Oregon and played 15
minutes coming off the bench. Ganes
was 6-of-7 on free throws, brought down
six rebounds and scored 15 points.
“Carolyn did some really good things.
She worked her way into the game a lit
tle quicker than she did last week,”
Smith said. “She began to work harder
in the post and ran the floor very well.
Carolyn Ganes is going to be very, very
important for us.”
Oregon dominated everything on the
statistical sheet with the exception of
turnovers. Southern Oregon had 30 to
Oregon’s 21. The Ducks continue to
place a strong emphasis on rebounds
and brought home 48 boards, with 19
on offense.
Even though Oregon was bombing from
downtown with six players hitting from be
yond the arc, the Ducks feel they need to
improve for their upcoming competition.
“For now we are just focusing on what
we need to prepare for,” sophomore
Kedzie Gunderson said. “Right now we
need to focus on what we need to improve
on and what we need to play hard in. And
it doesn’t matter who we are playing,
we’ve got to play hard every time.”
If Oregon can keep this pace, the
Ducks will hit triple digits 27 more times
this season. Oregon hit the 100-point
mark for the second time with a two
pointer from Davis with 3:40 left, after
the squad finished with 100 against Hor
sholm BBC Nov. 9.
Friday’s game began with a Williams
3-pointer just 17 seconds into play, and
it ended on Davis’ sixth make from be
yond the arc with just seven seconds left
in regulation to bring the Ducks to a 60
point victory.

Volleyball drops season’s last two road games
Oregon plays well but can’t
fend off the Arizona schools

Senior Lindsay Gloss has been
the go-to player for the Oregon vol
leyball team this season.
That was never more apparent
than this weekend in the desert.
Gloss posted 10 kills against No. 16
Arizona Friday and 13 Saturday
against Arizona State.
However, Gloss’ offense wasn’t
enough, as the Ducks lost both
matches in their final road trip of
the season.
Against the Wildcats, sophomore
Lauren Westendorf had eight kills,
and freshman Dariam Acevedo had
seven, but Oregon fell in three
straight games (30-20, 30-26, 30
22). The loss was Oregon’s second
to the Wildcats this season and
upped Arizona’s all-time record in
the series to 29-8.
Oregon has not defeated Arizona
since 1998.
Gloss’ .471 hitting percentage led
the Ducks, but as a team, Oregon
(11-19 overall, 1-15 Pacific-10 Con
ference) was off its game offensive
ly. The Ducks hit .029 in Game 1,
.200 in Game 2, and .120 in Game
3 to finish the night with an attack
percentage of .121.
“One thing that we had been do
ing was getting a balanced offensive
attack,” Oregon head coach Carl
Ferreira said. “We struggled with
that a little tonight, but the thing I
liked is that we still put ourselves in
a good position to win games two
and three.”
Arizona’s (15-9, 10-6) Bre Ladd
led the match with 17 kills and a
.640 hitting percentage. Lisa Rut
ledge pitched in with 14 kills of her
own as the Wildcats hit for a .254
percentage overall.
Arizona out-killed Oregon, 55-32,
and out-dug the team, 40-34, in a
dominating victory.
Against Arizona State Saturday,
the Ducks were far improved but
still unable to pull out the win.
The Sun Devils, whom Oregon
came close to defeating earlier this
season, won in four games (28-30,
30-23, 30-17, 30-27) and pushed
their all-time record against the
Ducks to 27-7.
On Arizona State’s Senior Night,
junior Juliana Escobar dominated,
posting 23 kills and 15 digs. Three
other Sun Devils posted kill figures
in the double digits, while Brittany
Arnett led the match with 20 digs.
For the Ducks, Acevedo had 18
kills to lead the team, while Gloss’
13 was close behind. However, of
fensively, Oregon was off for the
second night in a row.
Oregon managed just a .058 hit
ting percentage. The Ducks con
nected on 48 kills in 173 attempts
but racked up 39 attack errors.
After taking Game 1, the Ducks
were in prime position to jump
ahead 2-0 late in Game 2. Up 22-19,
Oregon dipped, allowing the Sun
Devils (12-9, 8-8) to go on an 11-1
run to win the set, 30-23, and even
the match up at one apiece.
The Sun Devils rolled in Game 3,
30-17, and outlasted the Ducks in
Game 4,30-27.
Game 4 proved to be a seesaw
battle, with the lead changing hands
seven times. However, hitting per
centage proved to be a telltale sta
tistic in the set, with the Sun Devils
hitting .232 to Oregon’s .130.
The match win was Arizona
State’s 11th straight against Ore
gon. In addition, the contest was
the final home match for 14-year
Arizona State head coach Patti
Snyder-Park.
The win was Snyder-Park’s 213th
in her career, and she now holds an
all-time winning percentage of .545
(213-178).
Oregon travels back to Eugene
for its final matches of the season,
Thursday against Washington State,
and Friday, to end the season,
against Washington.

that has turned out to be much
more than minor. The injury,
Smith said, has not led him to
make any decisions about next sea
son, which many have speculated
he will play in the NFL.
“I have not really been thinking
about that,” Smith said. “I’m just
trying to get my knee better and
get back for the bowl game.”
In the final home game for Ore
gon’s seniors — and perhaps the
last for Smith — the Oregon of
fense flew south for the winter
without Smith. And the same
thing could happen in Corvallis
this week.
“I want to get out there,” Smith
said. “We wanted to send out the
seniors with a bang. I really wanted
to be a part of that.”
If he had, things may have
turned out differently, regardless of
the weather.
