BY BRIAN SMITH
SPORTS REPORTER
The Oregon women’s basketball
team used a determined defensive ef
fort to propel themselves to a 60-44
victory over Strakonice BBC at
McArthur Court on Friday.
Offensive production was hard to
come by in the first half as both
teams struggled with shooting the
ball, but the Ducks managed to take
a 27-14 lead at halftime.
“I think we struggled offensively at
times,” Oregon women’s head coach
Bev Smith said. “We didn’t shoot the
ball real well at times. But our em
phasis has been on defense and re
bounding lately, so our offense will
come along in time. ”
Seniors Cathrine Kraayeveld and
Andrea Bills, along with sophomore
Eleanor Haring, provided solid de
fense on the inside, disrupting shots
and keeping Strakonice to 6-for-24
shooting in the first half.
“One of our big focuses has been
defense,” Smith said. “And in the first
half, I think we did a great job of es
tablishing the type of defense we
want to play this year — whether it
was manor zone.”
Kraayeveld scored 14 of the 27
points for the Ducks in the first twen
ty minutes. She hit a three-pointer
from the top of the arc to start the
game and proceeded to score eight of
the first ten points for the Ducks.
She also added eight rebounds, as
well as a couple of steals and one assist
in the first half.
Kraayeveld was the only consis
tent scorer for the Ducks in the first
half. Oregon finished the half shoot
ing nine for 23 (39.1 percent), in
cluding one for eight (12.5 percent)
from three-point range and eight for
13 (61.5 percent) from the free
throw line.
Kraayeveld finished the game with
16 points, 13 rebounds and two assists.
In the second half, Oregon found
some of its offensive rhythm behind
contributions from junior Chelsea
Wagner, freshman Gabrielle Richards
and Haring.
Haring had eight points in the sec
ond half and 13 for die game and fin
ished as the only other Duck, besides
Kraayeveld, to finish in double fig
ures in points.
Oregon also got solid contributions
from Richards and Bills, as the Ducks
used the height advantage they had
over Strakonice.
Richards came off the bench to
contribute seven points and five
boards, while Bills — despite a poor
shooting performance (25 percent)
— was the Ducks’ second-leading re
bounder on the night with six.
For the game, Strakonice shot 15 for
49 (30.6 percent) and six for 24 (25
percent) behind the three-point line.
Oregon will take on Portland in the
Ducks’ season opener at 4:30 p.m.
Friday at Mac Court.
