■ Women’s basketball
Civil War series plays out as expected
The Ducks outscore the Beavers 146-113 between the
two games despite their sub-par performance Saturday
BY STEPHEN MILLER
SPORTS REPORTER
There was little excitement and
spontaneity in this season’s
two-part Civil War series for
women’s basketball.
The outcomes were predictable as
Oregon, with its veteran lineup that
features four seniors, claimed both
games and outscored Oregon State,
146-113.
Much of what happened in Cor
vallis a month ago for the first
installment of this season’s match
up foreshadowed what occurred
last weekend.
With all appearing to be figured
out, there was one surprise — the fi
nal score of Saturday’s game.
As expected, the Ducks claimed
their seventh-consecutive McArthur
Court victory in front of a season-high
crowd. The final score was
64-55, closer and lower than expected.
“I think we were content with
how we were playing, not really
looking at getting better toward the
end of the game,” Oregon point
guard Corrie Mizusawa said after
her team scored three points in the
final five minutes.
As anticipated, senior guard Bran
di Davis was inserted into Oregon’s
starting lineup for the first time this
season — 33rd of her career — after
putting together a productive pair of
games against the Los Angeles
schools last week.
Davis posted a quiet five points in
the first half but shined on defense
with four steals in 26 minutes.
“Overall I think we did a pretty
good job on our defense,” Oregon
forward Cathrine Kraayeveld said.
“We didn’t play horrible, but we’re
just not happy with the way we fin
ished the game out.”
Oregon State senior guard Shan
non Howell led both games in scor
ing and field goal attempts, and both
times her team shot 39 percent from
the field.
Oregon’s leading scorer was senior
Andrea Bills, followed by Kraayeveld.
Mizusawa dished out game-highs in
assists in each contest and supplied
some of the only jaw-dropping plays
on Saturday.
“She’s a true point guard and
that’s something we missed before
she got here,” Kraayeveld said. “She
can definitely thread the needle with
the pass.”
The most important aspect of this
series was Oregon’s display of team
work. Its bench scored 53 points and
the team accumulated 30 assists to
prove its unselfishness. Mizusawa
had 17 of those.
“I know where everyone is, espe
cially hot shooters,” she said. “That’s
part of my game, seeing the floor and
getting everyone involved and having
them hit those baskets for me. ”
The Ducks committed fewer
turnovers, dished out more assists,
collected more steals and finished
with better shooting from beyond

Beavers’ only advantage came off
the boards.
As the Ducks look back at how
they kept Oregon State in check,
they have to look forward to defy
ing the predictions set against
them as they play four of their final
six Pac-10 games on the road.
“The challenge is right there,
we’ve got really good momen
tum,” Oregon head coach Bev
Smith said. “Our players are un
derstanding how good we can be
defensively and we have some
depth offensively.”

“I have a knack for seeing every
thing,” said Mizusawa, who ranks sec
ond in the nation in assists. “Especially
all of our good shooters. I know my
personnel. I know where they’ll be and
what kind of shots they like to take. ”
Oregon senior Andrea Bills, ham
pered by foul trouble in the first half,
contributed seven points, six rebounds
and two assists in 27 minutes of play.
For the 12th game this year, the
Duck defense held an opponent un
der 60 points. Oregon forced 17
turnovers, 10 of them on steals, and
held Oregon State to 39 percent
shooting for the game.
“We wanted to keep them off the
boards and continued to put pressure
on defense,” Oregon State head coach
Judy Spoelstra said. “That ruffled their
feathers a little bit. We had 11 turnovers
(in the first half), half of them un
forced. We did much better in the sec
ond half with only six (turnovers). ”
Howell led all scorers with 18
points on 6-of-15 shooting. T\vo other
Oregon State players, sophomore
Casey Bunn and guard Mandy Close,
recorded double-digits in points.
Oregon will now spend the week
preparing to play the Washington
schools on the road, with the
Cougars first up on Thursday at 7
p.m. in Pullman, Wash.
“Our home-court advantage sets
us up,” Smith said. “Now we have to
take that Mac Court magic on the
road with us. ”
