Volleyball: Strong effort

Arizona to start conference play
without Jones.
“That probably is as big an
impact on our season as anything,”
Moore said. “It shouldn’t have
been, but it was.”
Jones returned the following
weekend against California.
Oregon lost eight consecutive
matches to start Pac-10 play.
Currently 1-15 in conference,
Oregon looks to challenge Arizona
State, only one game ahead in the
conference standings.
And with this weekend, Oregon
attempts to complete Russell and
Jones’ Duck careers with a win.
Russell is second to freshman Mira
Djuric in both kills and service aces
with 351 nd 28, respectively.
Jones has 155 kills.
“Kelly ... is a great physical
player,” Moore said.
Moore’s message of strong
effort and focus on Oregon’s
side of the net — repeated through
out Oregon’s season — again
holds true if the Ducks hope to win
this weekend.
“If you play hard and you do the
things you’re supposed to do and
you can execute, we can play with
a lot of people,” Moore said.

Oregon's steady offense
leads to win over Portland
Eleanor Haring and Chelsea Wagner combine to score
26 points while leading Ducks to the year's third win
BY JEFFREY DRANSFELDT
SPORTS REPORTER
PORTLAND — The Oregon
women’s basketball team (3-1) used
consistent offense to overwhelm a
young Portland team (0-3) 63-36
Hiesday night at the Chiles Center.
The win also helped erase bad
memories of previous losses to
Portland, including a 76-58 set back
in 2003-04.
“That was very embarrassing and
we did not want to leave here (like
that),” Oregon’s Chelsea Wagner said.
Oregon used a team-high 14 points
from Wagner and 12 from Eleanor
Haring to cap a team-wide effort.
Ahead 36-22 early in the second
half, Oregon used its bench often
and outscored Portland’s subs 30-7.
“We are extremely deep,”
Wagner said. “There is no drop-off.”
No Oregon team member played
more than Haring’s 23 minutes and
every player scored.
Freshman point guard Tamika
Nurse played 22 minutes. The
quick guard scored two points and
passed for four assists with only
two turnovers.
The steady hands of Wagner and
Brandi Davis helped Oregon jump
out to an early lead. Because of
players such as Oregon’s 6-foot-3
Gabrielle Richards, Portland used a
zone defense to try to control
Oregon’s size. While Portland held
Richards to four points on one-for
three shooting, it allowed Oregon’s
perimeter players to thrive.
Wagner hit two early three point
ers for a 10-5 lead. Oregon extended
its lead to 21-12 with a Richards
three-point play and consecutive left
corner three-pointers from Davis.
Oregon led 31-19 at halftime and
Portland was only able to close
within 10 points in the second half.
Wagner’s play did not show ef
fects from a minor knee injury sus
tained in Oregon’s second exhibi
tion game. She had another strong
game after scoring 21 points Sunday
against Nevada. Oregon coach Bev
Smith said Wagner has more
movement in her knee and team
mates are finding her.
“She’s doing a better job of
moving and our players are doing a
better job of finding her either on
penetration or when our post play
ers are doubled,” Smith said.
As a team, Oregon made 8 of 21
three-pointers.
“We can always get that
three-pointer so let’s try to exploit
the inside,” Smith said.
Haring helped the inside game
with a variety of mid-range shots.
She had two jumpers off spin moves
early in the first half and added two
more right before halftime.
“ (Haring) really gave us a posi
tive and a productive night,” Smith
said. “1 thought she ran the floor
well. I thought she put herself in po
sition to make plays. ”
Oregon’s offensive success came
with another strong effort on
defense. The Ducks forced 22
Portland turnovers and scored 13
points off the miscues. Portland
shot 27 percent from the field and
21 percent from three-point range.
“I was happy with the defense,”
Smith said. “We just, again, have to
keep working to move offensively
and (on) decision making.”
With two consecutive wins,
Oregon is focused on getting better.
“We are just trying to improve
and focus on what we didn’t do
well in the game, and then correct
that the next game and try (to) build
on that,” Wagner said.
Oregon returns home to play

Horoscope by Holiday Matthis
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (November 23). You get
what you ask for this year! The next five weeks
bring happy events - the stepping stones to a
financial payoff in January. Couples recommit
in December. Singles are surrounded by ad
mirers. Choosing one standout sweetie is eas
iest in March. Spring travel leads to new busi
ness. Love with Gemini and Cancer is golden.
Your lucky numbers are: 2,14,9,30 and 7.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Watch out for the
modern version of the snake oil salesman. So
ciety is filled with remedies that are devoid of
scientific merit. That doesn't mean they don't
work - and it doesn't mean that they do, either.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A relationship that
has remained relatively inert for years now
morphs into one of your life's moving forces.
So change IS real! When others show new ini
tiative, you're inclined to do the same.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You re not only a
winner now, but you're absolutely impervious
to losers! Negative people exert their poison
ous attitude, and yet, you stand strong. Admin
ister a pat on your own back.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know how a
business should be run while others don't.
From your point of view, colleagues seem at
worst ridiculous and at best ineffective. Don't
just criticize! Be the leader.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Complications arise,
but that doesn't mean that something is bro
ken. You re tempted to upgrade to the latest
and greatest, but the timing isn't right. Don't
do anything rash.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22). If ever there were a
day to forget about what is largely out of your
control (global warming, flu pandemic, toxic
slush), it is today. The world gets dirtier, and
the average human life is longer than ever. So
give guilt and anxiety a rest.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're now realizing
you may have 'jumped ship' on a project too
soon. It's not too late to get back on board to
bail out some of the water. All it takes is an
hour of dedication to get things afloat again.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Spontaneity, cre
ativity and insight are your most useful tools
today - you can use them to attract new love
and friendship. You're a giver, and all you give
multiplies.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Do what's
right. Don't hesitate, and don't fumble. You
may think you don't know what's right, but
that s just a procrastination tactic. Call yourself
out. Be stringent when it comes to your rules
for yourself
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're a hit
wherever you go. Remember that you are in
control, and drop anyone who makes you feel
otherwise. A previously slow-moving project
begins to gain momentum.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The planets set
your stage with temptations and triggers Your
knee-jerk reactions may be impressive - your
reflexes are quite amazing. Unfortunately, ac
tion without thought brings folly. Reserve the
right to contemplate.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Cutting expenses
brings you back into balance and doesn't affect
your life too much either. Now you can give
money where it can do enormous good.
