Ian Crosswhite displayed his improved
strength and quickness around the hoop.
The women tuned up their defense
and rebounding by demolishing and
tripling Western Oregon 87-29. They
begin their regular season on Saturday,
November 15th against Valparaiso. If
the Ducks win they will play Sunday
against the winner of the game between
LSU and Villanova, who both earned
trips to the NCAA Tourney last year.
