Six minutes into Saturday's game at

- ahead, 15-9,
and it looked
like Oregon's troubles were going to be
extended.
Four minutes later, Brandi Davis had
put the Ducks (10-7 overall, 2-5 in Pacif
ic-10 Conference) ahead, 17-15, with
two three-pointers and a jumper.
Oregon didn't look back on the way
to a 60-50 victory.
"Tonight (Davis) did it very well in
terms of her shot selection," head coach
Bev Smith told KSCR (1320 AM) Radio
after the game "I just really tip my hat off
to Brandi tonight because she really fol
lowed the game plan and we were suc
cessful because of it"
Davis led the Ducks with a season
high 20 points off the bench. It was the
first time since a Nov. 16 victory against
then-No. 9 LSU that any Oregon player
scored 20 points.
Forward Eleanor Haring led the
starters with 13 points, one shy of tying
her career high, and a career-high nine
rebounds. Andrea Bills also had nine re
bounds and added nine points.
Oregon outrebounded an opponent
for the first time in seven games, pulling

"We're very happy with the perform

get the Washington game It was humili
ating and I think our players understood
that. We know we can't control what's
taken place in the past we had to come
out and be ready to beat this very stub
born Washington State team."
The 10-point victory against Washing
ton State came two days after the Ducks
were handed their worst loss in Pac-10
history, a 95-50 pummeling by Wash
ington.
"It was a good win for us today," Davis
said. "It was something that we really
needed for our confidence so it was big
for us."
After being down 15-9, the Ducks
closed the first half with an 18-6 run fora
6-point lead at halftime. It was the sec
ond-lowest scoring half for an Oregon
opponent this season.
"(The team) really played as we asked
them to and followed the game plan the
whole way through the game," Smith
said.
It was the first time in eight games,
dating back to a 68-56 win against Santa
Clara, that the Ducks scored 60 points in
a game
The Cougars dropped to 4-13 overall
and 0-8 in the Pac-10 with their 11th
consecutive loss.
"It's a very important win after com

ington," Smith said. "Our players did a
great job staying together. They have
great chemistry off the floor. Now we just
have to keep building. We can't afford to
