Stanford beats Beavers
to stay undefeated
STANFORD, Calif. — Stanford's
march to history continued Thurs
day with the passion of a team
Fighting for an NCAA tournament
bid, not one that has seemingly
locked up the No. 1 seed in the
West.
With a balanced attack, swarm
ing defense and sizzling shooting
from point guard Chris Hernan
dez, the top-ranked Cardinal pum
meled Oregon State, 73-47, at
Maples Pavilion to remain unde
feated.
Stanford is three games from be
coming the first Pacific-10 Conference
team since UCLA in 1973 — the
famed "Walton Gang" — to complete
a perfect regular season.
"After accomplishing our first goal,
to win the Pac-10, we set another: to
go undefeated for the regular season,"
forward Josh Childress said. "That's
something that can be accom
plished."
The lopsided affair allowed Coach
Mike Montgomery to rest his starters
for much of the second half. It also
gave Stanford fans a look at promis
ing freshman forward Fred Washing
ton, who scored a season-high 11
points in 13 minutes.
But not all the news was good for
the Cardinal (24-0, 15-0).
An MRI exam revealed forward
Justin Davis' left knee is not healing
quickly enough for him to play next
week in Washington. Davis, out since
Jan. 29, is now hoping to return for
the Pac-10 tournament, which begins
March 11.
That means he'll have just one week
to prepare for the NCAAs.
"I'm going to have to bust my butt
in practice to get back to where I was,"
said Davis, who has a partially torn
ligament and bruised bone.
The MRI results were the only inter
ruption in an otherwise delightful
stretch for the Cardinal.
Childress awoke Thursday to dis
cover he's one of 20 finalists for the
Naismith Award, given to the nation's
top player. In addition, Hernandez
learned he's one of 16 finalists for the
inaugural Bob Cousy Point Guard
Award.

Ducks travel to Texas
The No. 17 Oregon women's soft
ball team has a weekend of second
looks ahead of it at the Texas A&M
hosted Aggie Invitational.
The Ducks face Penn State and
Southern Mississippi for the first
time this season in two games Fri
day morning. Oregon then gets a
second look at both teams with
another game against each on
Saturday.
Sunday, the Ducks play their final
game of the tournament against No.
23 Texas A&M. The Aggies beat Ore
gon, 8-3, when the squads met two
weeks ago in the Phoenix Fiesta Bowl
Tournament.
"It's how well we adjust to them
and they adjust to us," Oregon head
coach Kathy Arendsen said. "What I
like with our ballclub is that we're
able to give different looks. It's a
chance for us to flaunt that we have
an excellent pitching staff whereas
most other teams have one main
pitcher and maybe a second one
that's decent."

bell/Cartier Classic, the Ducks
played three games before rain
caused the cancellation of their final
two tournament games. Oregon
won its three games, increasing the
squad's winning streak to five con
secutive games. The Ducks were led
by catcher Jenn Poore. The senior
went 4 for 10, hitting her second
home run of the season.
"We have to keep that momentum
going this weekend against three de
cent balldubs," Arendsen said.
Penn State is 0-5 this season, while
Southern Mississippi is 5-7 and Texas
A&M is 8-7.
Freshman outfielder Suzie Barnes
sprained her right ankle in a play at
home plate in the 3-0 win against
Sacramento State. She will miss the
Aggie Invitational and possibly the
following tournament or two,
Axendsen said.
The Ducks have one more tourna
ment, the Speedline Invitational, be
fore opening their home season with
a double header against Team Cana
da on March 10.
