SPORTS Saturday, February 27, 2016 East Oregonian Page 3B Women’s Basketball McCall scores 25 as Stanford stuns Oregon State Associated Press & East Oregonian STANFORD, Calif. — Erica McCall scored a career-high 25 points, Brittany McPhee added 15 and No. 13 Stanford stunned No. 7 Oregon State 76-54 on Friday night, knocking the Beavers out of a tie for ¿rst place. Karlie Samuelson added 13 points and had 12 rebounds for the Cardinal (23-6, 13-4 Pac-12), who picked up the program’s 1,000th victory with an outstanding effort against one of the top defensive teams in the country. Ruth Hamblin scored 14 points to lead the Beavers (24-5, 15-2), who had their school record-matching 14-game winning streak stopped. Pac-12 Oregon St. Stanford 54 76 Oregon State, which won its ¿rst ever conference title last year, had not allowed more than 54 points in a game during its win streak. Stanford scored its 54th point with 3:47 remaining in the third quarter. Stanford’s offensive output was the highest of the season against the Beavers and was just the second time Oregon State gave up more than 70 points in a game. The Beavers were looking for their ¿rst win at Stanford in 29 tries. The Cardinal effectively ended Oregon State’s hopes after a 20-8 run in the second quarter led to a 41-25 edge. McCall scored 10 points during the run, including a pair of 3-pointers. She had attempted one 3-pointer -- a miss -- in her career before unleashing a barrage against the Beavers, making 3 of 5. Oregon State entered the game as the national leader in ¿eld-goal percentage and the Cardinal were ranked second. Stanford shot 57.7 percent from the ¿eld after shooting 31.8 percent in its loss to the Beavers in Corvallis. UP NEXT: Oregon State plays at California on Sunday. Stanford hosts Oregon on Sunday. CAL 65, OREGON 54 BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Kristine Anigwe scored 18 points and California built a double-digit ¿rst- quarter lead and cruised to a 65-54 victory over Oregon on Friday night. The Ducks (20-8, 9-8) entered the game having won nine of their last 11 games and played without scoring and rebounding leader Jillian Alleyne, whose senior season ended Tuesday with a torn ACL. Alleyne had never missed a game, and had just moved into second place in NCAA history with 92 career double-doubles. Courtney Range had 13 points, Mikayla Cowling 12 and Asha Thomas 11 for California (13-15, 4-13 Pac-12), which snapped a two-game skid. Lexi Petersen led Oregon with 20 points. The Bears jumped out to a 23-8 ¿rst-quarter lead, and stretched it to 49-27 with ¿ve minutes left in the third quarter. Oregon used a 20-7 run to pull to 56-47 with ¿ve minutes left, but did not get closer. Peterson scored seven points and Maite Cazorla made two 3-pointers during the stretch. OREGON TECH 51, EASTERN OREGON 43 — At Klamath Falls, the Eastern Oregon Mountain- eers watched its season come to an end in disappointing fashion on Friday night as the Oregon Tech Owls clawed its way back in the fourth quarter to earn the 51-43 victory in the CCC tournament semi¿nals. The Mountaineers (21-10) led the Owls 41-33 with more than six-and- a-half minutes left to play when the Owls (25-7) caught ¿re from the ¿eld and outscored the Mountaineers 18-2 over those ¿nal six-plus minutes to pull ahead and grab the victory. The only points that Eastern Oregon scored during that stretch came on a basket by Madeline Laan with 21 seconds left in the game. The Mountaineers were led in scoring by Maloree Moss with 11 points, while Laan and Payton Parrish each had eight points. Nikki Osborne led the team with 11 rebounds. Oregon Tech held the Mountaineers to a season- worst shooting performance on Friday as well, as EOU made just 15-64 from the ¿eld for a 23 percent success rate. In fact, according to EOUSports.com, the teams’ shooting percentage was the lowest in over 13 years. IRRIGON NFL Oregon’s Addison, Marshall receive their shot Kennedy escapes By RYAN THORBURN The Register Guard Bralon Addison and Byron Marshall, two versatile skill players who overcame adversity at Oregon, will be among the former Ducks auditioning for jobs at the NFL Scouting Combine this weekend in Indianapolis. After missing the 2014 season while recovering from a torn ACL, Addison led Oregon with 63 recep- tions for 804 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. The former Texas high school quarterback star also threw a 39-yard touchdown pass, had 96 yards rushing with two touchdowns and returned a punt for an 81-yard touch- down as a redshirt junior. “I think my versatility is something I have to my advantage,” Addison told reporters Thursday at Lucas Oil Stadium. “I played a lot of positions in college. I played the slot, outside receiver, I played running back, I lined up at quarterback sometimes, I was a return man. “So I think my versatility is something that will set me apart.” AP Photo Michael Sullivan/The News-Review In this Nov. 27, 2016 ile photo, University of Oregon teammates congratulate wide receiver Bralon Addi- son (2) after his fourth quarter catch for a touchdown against Oregon State during the 119th Civil War foot- ball game at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. The Ducks won the Pac-12 contest, 52-42. Marshall was Oregon’s leading rusher in 2013 (1,038 yards) and Marcus Mariota’s leading receiver (1,003 yards) in 2014. He was off to a fast start as a senior before suffering a season-ending leg injury in the fourth game of the 2015 campaign against Utah. “I think I did enough in college to go to the next level,” Marshall said in December when asked about his decision to turn pro instead of seeking a medical hardship for a ¿fth year at Oregon. “I think I’m good enough to go play, so now it is about getting healthy and getting picked up.” Entering the combine, ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. projects Addison as a third- round pick and Marshall as a ¿fth- or sixth-round pick. Addison and Marshall are both listed as wide receivers, a position group that will take the ¿eld on Saturday with quarterbacks and tight ends. Running backs, offen- sive linemen and specialists work out Friday. “De¿nitely and that’s something as a rookie you have to come in and expect and that’s something I love to do anyway,” Addison said of returning kicks. “When I was in high school and college, it was second nature to play special teams. “The best players played special teams in my high school and college, so I would love to play special teams.” Defensive lineman DeForest Buckner, quarter- back Vernon Adams Jr. and left tackle Tyler Johnstone are the other former Oregon players who will also partici- pate in the combine. The NFL draft will be held April 28-30 in Chicago. ATHENA Raiders ride big quarter to win over TigerScots Lost River eliminates Weston- McEwen girls East Oregonian MERRILL — The Lost River Raiders poured in 18 points in the second quarter and the Weston-McEwen TigerScots were never quite able to recover in Friday’s 2A girls basketball playoff game. The Raiders held off the Girls Hoops W-McEwen Lost River 26 40 TigerScots in the second half for a 40-26 win that ended Weston-McEwen’s season. The TigerScots (15-10) were able to ¿nd an advantage inside with its posts, but when Lost River started nailing its outside shots Weston-McEwen was unable to keep up. “Our posts were able to work a lot against their posts inside,” said Weston- McEwen coach Amber Doremus of the team-high eight points reached by Sarah Finifrock and Ashley Hill. But Lost River (23-5) hit four three-pointers to lead the second-quarter assault and stretched a two-point lead to 27-16 by halftime. “Then it was just a lid on the basket in the second half for us,” Doremus said. With guard Chelsea Quae- mpts battling foul trouble, the TigerScots struggled to get their offense Àowing and Quaempts ¿nished with four points while Ammarae Broncheau was held to three. Rachel Parks led Lost River with 14 points and Madison Storer added 10. ——— W-M (15-10) 7 9 3 7 — 26 LR (23-5) 9 18 4 9 — 40 WESTON-MCEWEN — S. Finifrock 8, A. Hill 8, C. Quaempts 4, A.

Islanders at Edmonton, 6:30 p.m. scare from Irrigon Knights push No. 1 Kennedy in first round East Oregonian MT. ANGEL — The Irrigon girls basketball team didn’t play like a timid newcomer to the state postseason. Playing the ¿rst state playoff game in program history, the Knights had their chances to take down No. 1 seed Kennedy, but just couldn’t get a basket when they needed one most as they eventually fell 38-28 in the ¿rst round of the 2A state playoffs on Friday. “We had two opportu- nities in the fourth quarter to get within two points,” said Irrigon coach Mike Royer. “And we had good opportunities, but we could not quite catch (Kennedy), could not get over the hump.” Post Kenzie Ratliff came up big for the Trojans (22-3) down the stretch and scored seven of her 14 points in the fourth quarter. “She hit some big buckets from the high post to put it out of reach,” Royer said. Lakin Susee led Kennedy with 16 points. Jada Burns paced Irrigon (11-13) with 19 points, but the Knights’ offense was slow to start thanks to Kennedy’s press. “We struggled to get into the half-court offense,” Royer said. “We had to Continued from 1B -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -4 -3 -3 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 Motorsports NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 Lineup Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway Hampton, Ga.

With just two regulars graduating after the season (Aguilera and Kelly McLaughlin), Royer said he’s excited to see what the Knights can do next season. “They expected to win and I think that’s good for the future,” he said. “Obvi- ously I feel really good about our season. With the number of young players we have, the future is obviously bright for Irrigon girls baskdtball.” ——— IHS (11-13) 5 8 3 12 — 28 KHS (22-3) 10 9 5 14 — 38 IRRIGON — J. Burns 19, B.

KNIGHTS: Emma Logan leads with game-high 35 points Golf PGA Honda Classic At PGA National Resort Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

Knights coach Kevin Gramson said Elkton’s press gave his team trouble as the Elks (22-8) jumped out to a 12-5 lead in the opening minutes. “In the ¿rst half they were in a full-court press, complete pressure every- where,” he said. “We had some trouble rebounding, too.” Gramson said it took two adjustments to get the Knights back on track. First was to drop their zone defense and switch to a man for the rest of the game. That change occurred midway through the second quarter, and seemed to ¿x the Knights’ rebounding issues, Gramson said. Emma Logan carried the Knights’ offense in the ¿rst half with 17 of her game-high 35 points as the teams went into the break tied 26-26. Gramson ¿gured out how to get her some help in the second half with a tried-and-true method. “We changed it up a little bit and went to a little bit of two-man game with the pick-and-roll,” he said. That helped free up Brooke Dyer for her 15 points and Annika Riet- mann added 10 more for the Knights, which led 45-38 after three quarters. Hannah Maxwell led Elkton with 12 points and Hailee Abraham and Angela Holcomb each added 11. Condon/Wheeler will make its ¿fth-straight quarter¿nals appearance against North Douglas at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday in Baker City.
