Ducks fall apart under Beavers’ defense
The Oregon State ‘D dominated
the Ducks in the second half of
Saturday^ game
Women’s basketball
Jesse Thomas
Sports Reporter
CORVALLIS — A pinch of 72 per
cent shooting for 20 minutes.
A dash of 25 percent shooting by
your opponent.
Outscore your opponent by 18
points in the paint.
Add an endless amount of defense
to cause your opponent to score just
two points in a period of more than
nine minutes.
And now we have Oregon State’s
perfect recipe for the second half of
a basketball game in the Civil War.
The finished result is a frustrated
Oregon offense and an easy 16-point
victory against your archrival, 67-51.
“Oregon State has done that to al
most every team they have played,”
Oregon head coach Bev Smith said.
“There’s been teams that haven’t
scored 50 points on them, so maybe
we were successful.”
“Our team takes a lot of pride in
that and we always have,” Oregon
State head coach Judy Spoelstra
said. “Defense has always been one
of our mainstays.”
It began as expected. Oregon
played slightly better in the first half
to give the Ducks a 28-27 lead after
20 minutes.
And the statistics proved how
evenly matched the rivalry was.
Both teams shot 37.5 percent from
the field in the first half. The Ducks
and Beavers were identical on steals
and similar in assists.
But after five minutes of the second
half, the Beavers opened the gap, and
nothing would be identical anymore.
"Their defense was
great, and you've got
to give them that
credit. They went out
there and played with
heart; and had a little
bit more heart than
we had on the
defensive end"
Brandi Davis
Oregon guard
Freshman Casey Bunn got hot and
junior Brina Chaney continued her
defacing of Oregon’s post players en
route to a 26-3 run by the Beavers.
Before Oregon knew it, the frus
tration was to a boiling point, and
the Ducks were trailing 61-42 with
less than four minutes to go. It had
been quite some time since Oregon
had become so flustered.
“Their defense was a real help to
our frustration,” sophomore Brandi
Davis said, who led Oregon with 16
points on 4-for-6 from 3-point land.
“Their defense was great, and you’ve
got to give them that credit. They
went out there and played with
heart, and had a little bit more heart
than we had on the defensive end.”
Oregon could never recover from
the blow and shot 25 percent in the
second half. The Beavers had it all
going their way.
The Ducks couldn’t get their usual
shot selection, found trouble passing
the ball around the perimeter, and
committed 16 turnovers on the night.
The shot clock also became a con
sistent problem for Oregon for most of
the evening. Oregon State’s in-your
face defense caused the Ducks such
frustration, they just lost track of time.
“We weren’t paying attention to
it,” freshman Carolyn Ganes said.
“And before you know it, the shot
clock was down to nothing.”
Ganes did account for 12 points in
her 30 minutes, but they were not
easy to come by. Oregon’s post play
ers suffered a rough evening as the
Beavers’ 6-foot~5 Chaney tied the
school record with eight blocks.
Oregon State’s defensive domi
nance and poised ballhandling al
lowed the Beavers their first win at
Gill Coliseum in six years. The recipe
for success came at the right time, and
the Beavers ate up every minute of it.
“We weren’t going to let anyone
come in and win on our home
court,” Chaney said.

Wrestling
continued from page 9
victory in the last five seconds with a
takedown and a near fall to win 7-3.
“That’s all the coach is asking
me,” Rolen said. “Just compete and
do my best. I just got into the zone
of wrestling.”
Improving to 10-4 on the season,
senior Tony Overstake picked up two
four-point major decisions at 149 for
the Ducks. Overstake dominated the
match against Scott Polley of Stan
ford — scoring five takedowns, one
reversal and earning a point for riding
time — while allowing only four es
cape points for Polley.
Overstake dominated his second
match also, managing seven take
downs and earning one escape, two
points for stalling penalties against
UG Davis’ Kevin Jones, and one
point for superior riding time.
Sophomore Martin Mitchell
bounced back from a 10-5 defeat
against Stanford to pin his Aggie op
ponent at the 2:47 mark in the first
period. More than half of Mitchell’s
wins this season have come by pin
ning his opponent.
“It was really important for me to
bounce back and have a good match
this evening,” Mitchell said.
Shane Webster, the sophomore
ranked No. 8 in the 174 weight class,
had a four-point major decision
against his Stanford opponent —
scoring eight takedowns, one near
fall, one escape and a point for riding
time. Against UC Davis, Webster and
his opponent were tied at one when
Webster got a takedown with 25 sec
onds left to win 3-1. Webster im
proved to 18-2 on the season.
Redshirt sophomore Luke Larwin
at 165 and sophomore Elias Soto at
197 both won their two matches of
the evening.
“Our focus from now to the con
ference tournament is going to be
on us and wrestling with emotion,”
Kearney said. “We want to go in (to
Oklahoma) and be a team that wres
tles with everything to gain.”

Brandi Davis (21), seen here against BYU in the Pape Jam, led Oregon with 16 points,
but the Ducks lost to Oregon State in the Civil War on Saturday in Corvallis.
Men's
continued from page 9
Brian Jackson, Oregon State’s oth
er talented big man, who had nine
points and was in foul trouble for
much of the game.
The Ducks dominated both big
men and the rest of the Beaver
team on rebounds, hauling down
42 boards to Oregon State’s 30.
The Ducks were led on the boards,
surprisingly, by backup guard An
dre Joseph, who hauled in a ca
reer-high 10 rebounds.
“We’ve talked and talked and
talked about doing the little
things,” Kent said. “It’s not so
much about us making them or
telling them any more, it’s about
them just doing those things.
They’re doing everything right for
us, but they’ve got to learn how to
bounce back, how to make them
selves ready and how to handle
themselves.”
Oregon will host Washington on
Thursday and Washington State
on Saturday as the Ducks contin
ue Pac-10 action. The Huskies
have been a thorn in the Ducks’
side over the past few years. Wash
ington and Oregon have split the
regular-season series in each of the
past three years.
