Oregon’s Andrea Bills fights for the ball with Arizona State’s Emily Westerberg during the
Ducks’ win Thursday night. Bills scored 14 points to go along with 11 rebounds.
Women: Bills leads Ducks
with game-high 11 boards
Continued from page 7
attempts and committed 10
turnovers. The Ducks held a
27-22 lead at halftime.
Oregon’s lead diminished to a
one-point advantage at the
11:30 mark of the second half.
Sophomore Eleanor Haring started
a 10-2 scoring tear for the Ducks
that killed five minutes and put Ari
zona State down by 11 with six min
utes to work.
“We definitely wanted it more,”
Oregon senior Brandi Davis said. “It
was something we knew we had to
do and we had no choice — it was
do or die basically. Tonight we had
to do, not die.”
Hard-nosed Andrea Bills turned
in 14 points for Oregon on
6-of-13 shooting, which included an
unsuccessful three-point attempt —
the first of her career. The senior
center added a game-high 11 re
bounds from the paint in 29
minutes of action.
Davis had Oregon’s only two suc
cessful three-pointers and provided
the team’s biggest offensive contribu
tion with 16 points (6 of 11).
“She had a great start, and that’s
really important for us and her,”
Smith said. “Her energy is impor
tant to us on both ends of her floor. ”
Senior Cathrine Kraayeveld
scored 11 points and finished 5 of 7
from the free-throw line for Oregon.
Arizona State’s Amy Denson
went under Oregon’s radar for most
of the game. The junior forward out
of Central Point recorded team
highs of 16 points and 10 rebounds
in her first double-double of
the season.
“Denson went off on us in terms
of her numbers, but a lot the shots
she hit were tough,” Smith said.
Arizona State, which usually
causes turnovers, committed 21.
The Ducks also faulted 21 times to
tie a season-high for turnovers in a
home game.
Sophomore Emily Westerberg
was held to only 12 points for the
Sun Devils after she mutilated Ore
gon in Tempe, Ariz., on Jan. 22 with
a career-high 26 points.
Oregon temporarily holds a tie for
second place in the conference with
Southern California (16-8,10-5) and
Arizona (18-8,10-5).
The Ducks are now 8-0 at home
against Pac-10 teams, and 10-1 over
all with only one game left at Mac
Court. Saturday’s game against the
Wildcats will be recognized as
Senior Night.
“It’s going to be a big physical
game,” Bills said. “Senior Night is
going to be emotional. It’s going to
be a down-to-the-wire game and we
just have to come out as aggressive
as we did tonight.”
