12108 - GEORGE FOX, EVERGREEN STATE: Bruins Devour Geoducks to Run Record to 8-0 NEWBERG, Ore.- Closing within one game of their best start to a season, the George Fox University Bruins hammered the Evergreen State College Geoducks 92-35 in a non-conference women's basketball game Saturday night (Dec. 8) here at the Wheeler Sports Center. George Fox, ranked No. 9 in the nation in the latest NCAA Division III national poll, improved to 8-0, the second-best start to a season in team history. Last year's Bruins opened the season 9-0 en route to a 23-3 record. Evergreen State dropped its second in a row to fall to 1-10. Both teams were slow getting under way as neither scored for over three minutes, but Darby Cave's short jumper broke the ice and gave George Fox a 2-0 lead at the 16:38 mark. The Bruins proceeded to score 15 of the game's first 17 points in the next three minutes, with Becky Thompson hitting a lay-up and a pair of three-pointers in the outburst. Thompson finished with 13 points in the half as the Bruins stretched their lead to 44-21 at the break. When the second half began, George Fox held the Geoducks scoreless for over seven minutes while going on a 23-0 run, and held them without a field goal until Dodie McCallum hit a short jumper in the lane with 6:19 to play. By then the Bruins held a 50-point lead at 78-28. Evergreen State wound up making only 4-26 from the field in the second half. The final margin was George Fox's biggest lead of the game. Thompson led all scorers with 17 points and all rebounders with 9, picking up 5 steals and throwing in 4 assists for good measure. Mandy Dunham scored 11 and Melissa Alexander 10 off the bench, career highs for both, while Cave added 11. Liz Clark added 9 points and a career-high 6 assists. George Fox won the rebounding battle 58-33, and made 31-39 from the free throw line, one short of the team record of 32 made. Kristin Zompetti scored 14 in a reserve role as the only Geoduck in double figures, and Chandra Rathke was Evergreen's top rebounder with 6. The Geoducks shot only .211 (12-57) from the field in the game. The Bruins are off next week for exams, but return to action Monday, Dec. 17, in the AmeriSport Coconut Coast Classic in Hilo, Hawaii. George Fox will face Marian College (Wise.) at 12:00 noon Pacific time, then take on St. Mary's College (Ind.) on Tuesday, also at 12:00 noon. The Geoducks head home Monday (Dec. 10) to take on Seattle University at 7:00p.m. OFFICIAL BASKETBALL BOX SCORE -- G A M E T 0 T A L S Evergreen State vs George Fox 12/08/01 7:30 pm at Newberg, OR

After getting off to one of their best starts in years at 7-4, the Pios have lost their last 6 in a row. One of the biggest reasons for the downturn has been the loss to injury of leading s~orer Brynn Henkel (16.3 ppg) after the first 6 games. The Pios were idle last night, but dropped a 78-45 decision at Puget Sound last Tuesday. In last night's game, the Bruins, the NWC leaders in three-pointers per game (5.2), used the 'long ball' again, hitting lO of l7 from long rangetop defeat their Yamhill County rivals. Heather Doud led the way with 17 points, hitting 6-10 from the field (4-4 on 3's), while Nicole Prazeau added 13 and Darby Cave 12, hitting 6-8 from the floor. Doud had 9 rebounds, and Becky Thompson had 7 assists and 4 steals.

1125- GEORGE FOX 71, LINFIELD 51: Three-Point Barrage by Bruins Buries Wildcats McMINNVILLE, Ore. - Already leading the Northwest Conference in three-point field goals with an average of 5.2 per game, the George Fox University Bruins used the long ball again, connecting on 10 of 17 from downtown to bury the Linfield College Wildcats 71-51 in women's basketball action Friday night (Jan. 25) here at Ted Wilson Gym. After taking a 6-4 lead three minutes into the game, the Bruins went cold and did not score for six minutes while Linfield went ahead 9-6. Heather Doud broke the scoring drought for the Bruins with a three-pointer that knotted the game 9-9 with 11:03 left, Becky Thompson's trey made it 12-9 with 9:51 left, and the Bruins led the rest of the way. A 17-7 run in the final five minutes, with Nicole Prazeau, Doud, and Amy Fitch all hitting threes and Darby Cave adding a pair of layups, increased the Bruin lead to 35-23 at the half. A rebound basket by Cave and a three-point play by Doud upped the Bruin lead to 40-23 to start the second half. The Wildcats then went on a mild run, outscoring the Bruins 13-5 to cut the gap to 45-36 with 13:11 to play, but nine points was as close as Linfield would get. The Bruins gradually increased the margin until a Prazeau free throw with 28 seconds left gave them the biggest lead of the game at 71-49. Doud led all scorers with 17 points, including a 4-4 night from behind the arc, and grabbed a game-high 9 rebounds. Prazeau added 13 points, making 2-3 on treys, and Cave scored 12, sinking 6-8 from the floor. Thompson had 7 assists and led the Bruin defensive effort with 4 steals, while Fitch picked up 3 steals. The Bruins out-rebounded the Wildcats 36-26. Monica Schwing was the only Wildcat in double figures with 14. George Fox, ranked 22nd in the D3hoops.com poll and 14th in the USA Today/ESPN/WBCA Division m poll, completed a sweep of the season series with their Yamhill County rivals while improving to 16-2 overall and 7- 2 in the conference. Linfield slipped to 8-10 overall and 4-5 in the league. The Bruins are back home Saturday (Jan. 26), hosting the Lewis & Clark College Pioneers at 6:00p.m., followed by the men's game at 8:00p.m. The Wildcats visit the Willamette University Bearcats Saturday at 6:00 p.m. in Salem.

I/29 -GEORGE FOX 72, PACIFIC 58: Bruins Awake for Second-Hal(Rush Past Boxers FOREST GROVE, Ore. - Overcoming a sluggish first half that saw them trailing by as many as 10 points at one time, the George Fox University Bruins awoke in time to race past the Pacific University Boxers in a Northwest Conference women's basketball game Tuesday night (Jan. 29) here at the Pacific Athletic Center. After forging a 4-4 tie on a Heather Doud layup four minutes into the game, the Bruins went cold, scoring only four points over the next eight minutes and falling behind 16-8. Pacific eventually stretched its lead to 10 at 27-17 on a pair of free throws by Katannya Kapeli with 4:30 left. Darby Cave then hit three baskets to spark a 13-2 Bruin run, Melissa Alexander capping the rally with two free throws to give George Fox its first lead, 30-29, with 47 second left in the half. However, two freebies by Janna Vavra and a Kapelijumper with 2 seconds to go put the Boxers back on top at the break, 33-30. With Pacific ahead by five, 37-32, early in the second half, the Bruins finally got into gear, scoring 12 unanswered points over a four-minute span, capped by a steal and layup by Becky Thompson, to take a 44-37 lead with 14:13 remaining. Pacific rallied to cut the Bruins' lead to one, 48-47, on a three-pointer by Kristine Callan with 9:30 to go, but the Bruins regrouped and went on a 13-2 run to take a double-digit lead at 59-49 with 5:20 left on a Cave free throw. The Boxers got no closer than nine the rest of the way. Doud led all scorers with her second 22-point game in a row, including 7-7 from the line, Cave tallied 18, and Nicole Prazeau hit 3 three-pointers en route to 15. Cave had a game-high 9 rebounds, although the Bruins were out-rebounded for one of the few times this season, 32-29. Thompson had 6 assists and 6 steals. Kapeli scored 17 for the Boxers and Callan chipped in with 16. Kapeli grabbed 5 rebounds and Callan had 4 assists. Both teams sizzled from the charity stripe, the Bruins hitting 16-18 (.889) and the Boxers 19-24 (.792) after being 14-16 at one point. The Bruins' improvement in ball control was evident in the second half as they made only 4 turnovers after making 12 in the first half. George Fox is now 18-2 overall after its 4th straight win and 9-2 in the conference. Pacific dropped to 9-9 overall and 5-5 in the league. The Bruins next face Pacific Lutheran University Friday (Feb. 1) at 6:00 p.m. in Newberg in a showdown for first place.

Post players Darby Cave and Heather Doud turned in two outstanding performances each as the Bruins defeated Western Baptist College 84-69 on Friday and Northwest College of the Assemblies of God 78-68 on Saturday. Against Western Baptist, Cave scored a game-high 19 points, hitting 9-14 from the field and 1-2 from the line, with 4 rebounds, a blocked shot, and 2 steals, while Doud scored 14 points on 5-7 shooting, including 4-4 from three-point range, with 8 rebounds and an assist. In the Northwest game, Cave had 18 points on 8-16 shooting and 2-3 from the line, with 6 rebounds, a blocked shot and a steal, while Doud added 18 points, sinking 8-14 from the floor and 2-2 from the line, with 9 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal. In two games, the pair combined for 69 points while hitting .588 (30-51) from the field, .800 (4-5) from three-point range, and .818 (9-11) from the free throw line, with 27 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocked shots, and 4 steals. The twin wins boosted the Bruins' record to 5-0, the second-best start in team history; only last year's record-setting team bettered that by starting off 9-0.

With Nicole Prazeau scoring 10 points in the first 11 minutes, including a pair of three-pointers, the Bruins never trailed in taking a 16-11 lead with 8:39 to play in the tirst half. But the Loggers caught fire while the Bruins went stone-cold, going on a 23-7 run over the remainder of the period to take a 34-23 lead into the break. UPS's Lindsay May scored six of her 10 first-half points to spark the Loggers during that stretch. George Fox shot only .333 in the half (9-27). After scoring the first two points of the second half on a layup by Heather Doud to make it 34-25, the Bruins went over six-and-a-half minutes without scoring again, but the George Fox defense held the Loggers in check as well. Puget Sound did not score in the half until May hit a layup with 14:36 to play. But despite holding UPS to only 6-20 (.300) shooting in the half, the Bruins were never able to make a serious run at the Loggers because they hit only 10-29 (.345) themselves. Down 42-29 with 11:10 to play, the Bruins mounted their only threat as Prazeau hit back-to-backjumpers and Liz Clark sank a three, cutting the UPS lead to 42-36 with 8:51 left. But May hit a pair of free throws, Lucy Wilson canned a trey, and Courtney Leybold banked in a 20-footer as the shot clock went off, giving UPS a 49-36 lead with 6:57 left, and the Bruins got no closer than nine the rest of the way. The 44 points scored by the Bruins was their lowest output of the season. Prazeau finished with 14 points, the only Bruin in double figures, Doud grabbed 12 rebounds, and Becky Thompson had 4 assists and 3 steals. In addition to shooting only .339 (19-56) for the game, the Bruins struggled at the line, making only 2-8 (.250) on free throws., while UPS drained 16-20 (.800) from the charity stripe. May had 17 for UPS to lead all scorers, Julie Vanni added 13, and Wilson scored 10. Vanni just missed a double-double with 9 rebounds as the Loggers edged the Bruins on the boards, 38-37. George Fox had its five-game winning streak snapped, dropping to 19-3 overall and 10-3 in the conference. With Pacific Lutheran University winning 60-49 at Willamette University, the Bruins fell a game off the pace set by the Lutes. Puget Sound improved to 16-5 overall and 8-4 in the league, claiming a crucial win in a bid for a spot in the NWC Tournament.

With the Bruin starters struggling on offense, Myhre and Clark came off the bench to score 9 and 7 points respectively in the first half, enabling the Bruins, ranked 16th in the latest NCAA Division III national poll, to forge a 26-26 halftime tie. George Fox shot only .333 (10-30) in the half while Puget Sound managed a .391 mark (9-23) In the second half, it was Barram with 12 points, Clark with 10, and starter Nicole Prazeau with 8 that sparked the Bruins to an eventual runaway victory. Leading only 45-42 after the Loggers' Angie Cashman made a pair of free throws with 10:06 left, the Bruins went on a 17-0 run over the next six minutes for a 62-42 lead and firni control of the game. The Bruins' shooting improved to .529 (18-34) in the final half while the defense held the Loggers to .318 (7-22) from the field. Clark finished with a career-high 17 to lead all scorers, Barram had 14 in her first extensive action since rejoining the team during the holidays after a knee injury, Myhre had a career-high 11, and Prazeau added 11. Myhre and Prazeau grabbed 7 rebounds apiece to carry the Bruins to a 37-33 edge on the boards. Prazeau and Heather Doud had 4 steals each as the Bruins forced 20 UPS turnovers while making only 11 of their own. Becky Thompson had a game-high 6 assists. The Loggers were led by Julie Vanni, the league's leading scorer at 17.8 points per game, with 13, and Jen McLuen came off the UPS bench to score 11. Vanni had a team-high 6 rebounds. George Fox got back on the winning track after suffering its only loss of the season Saturday at Pacific Lutheran University, improving to 12-1 overall and 3-1 in the conference. Puget Sound slipped to 9-2 overall and 1- 1 in the league. The Bruins next visit Lewis & Clark College Friday (Jan. 11) while the Loggers are at Whitworth College Friday.

Led by Julie Vanni, the NWC's leading scorer (17.4) and 2nd-ranked rebounder (8.6), the Loggers have stamped themselves as a legitimate contender for the conference crown with their 9-1 start. Allison McCurdy gives UPS a strong outside threat as she leads the NWC in 3-pointers per game (2.22), while Lindsay May was last week's NWC Player of the Week with a 24- point, 6-rebound performance vs. Pacific. Expect another defensive battle, as the Bruins are 3rd in scoring defense (54.5) and the Loggers are 4th (58.4). Heather Doud with 15 points and 9 rebounds, Darby Cave with 12 points, and Liz Clark with 11 led the Bruins in the PLU game. THE SERIES The Bruins lead the series with the Loggers 7-4 .. .

The Bruins tied a record set two years ago by the 1999-2000 team and tied by last year's team while extending their overall record this season to 11-0, the best start in team history. Warner Pacific dropped to 2-14 overall, but the Knights of the NAIA threw a major scare into the Bruins, who are ranked 6th in NCAA Division ill. Hitting four of their first five shots, the Knights jumped out to an early lead and were up 14-8 after a Gloria Doud layup with 14:15 to go in the first half. The Bruins, who struggled all night from the field until the overtime - period, trailed most of the half but managed to take a 28-27 halftime lead on a Darby Cave jumper with 1:58left. George Fox went on an 11-2 run to start the second half to take apparent control with a 39-29 lead at 16:14, and maintained a lead until late in the half. Cave's layup gave the Bruins a 56-47lead with 3:34 to play, but the Knights scored the final nine points of the period, Alicia Rochelle's two free throws with 1:04left knotting the score 56-56 and sending the game into overtime. Shawna Damon's rebound basket gave Warner Pacific their final lead of 62-60 with 1:50 to play, but Heather Doud's layup at 1:20 tied it for the Bruins, setting the stage for Thompson's free-throw heroics. She drained a pair with 41 seconds left for a 64-62 Bruin lead, then after Doud rebounded a miss that could have tied the game with 14 seconds left, Thompson hit two more freebies with 11 seconds remaining to ice the hard-fought win. George Fox survived despite shooting only .300 (21-70) from the field, and only a 3-5 overtime got them to that mark. The Bruins also committed 23 turnovers, but forced the Knights into 20 and held them to a .356 (21-59) shooting night. The Bruins' rebounding was the decisive factor in the game as George Fox held a 57-38 edge on the boards, including 23 on the offensive end. Cave and Doud each turned in double-doubles for the Bruins, Cave with 18 points and 10 rebounds imd Doud with 14 and 14. Thompson and Nicole Prazeau added 12 points apiece, while Liz Clark had a career-high 9 rebounds and Thompson passed out 5 assists. Damon scored 15 to lead the Knights, while Jillian Burnett added 12 and Rochelle 11. Gloria Doud and Jennifer Haberly led Warner Pacific with 6 rebounds each, and Rochelle had 4 assists. George Fox will attempt to gain a record 12th straight win Saturday (Jan. 5) while visiting pre-season Northwest Conference favorite Pacific Lutheran University. Game time is 6:00p.m. in Tacoma.

The Bruins are coming off a season in which the went 23-3, won the conference with a 15-1 league mark, were ranked No. 1 in the nation for two weeks, participated in the NCAA Division III National Tournament, and finished with a No. 11 national ranking. In the national pre-season poll by d3hoops.com, George Fox received 187 points to place 19th. Messiah College was the top pick with 592 points and 11 firsts, unseating three-time defending national champion Washington University (Mo.), which was No.2 with 553 points and 11 firsts. George Fox is the only team in the past three seasons to be ranked No. 1 besides Washington. The complete poll is available at www.d3hoops.com. The Northwest Conference schedule does not begin for the Bruins until Dec. 3 at home against Pacific University. Pacific Lutheran University was a one-point favorite (77-76) over George Fox for this year's NWC title in balloting by the league's nine coaches. The NWC pre-season poll and other information about the conference and its teams is available at www.nwcsports.com . George Fox met Warner Pacific last season for the first time in nine years, taking a 68-64 victory over the Knights on Dec. 9 in Newberg. The Bruins lead the all-time series with the Knights 22-4 and have won the last seven meetings. The Bruins return three starters from last year's team, including Nicole Prazeau (Sr., W, Portland, Ore.- 11.7 ppg, 4.5 rpg) and Becky Thompson (Sr., PG, Colton, Ore.- 8.3 ppg, 3.7 apg), who were both Second Team All Conference selections, and Heather Doud (Sr., P, Corvallis, Ore.- 10.2 ppg, 6.1 rpg). Darby Cave (So., P, Portland, Ore. - 4.2 ppg, 2.6 apg) is expected to move into the starting center position vacated by two-time NWC Player of the Year and Kodak All-American Katie Lacey, who graduated. If an experienced player is to fill the wing position left by the graduation of Tabitha Greller, the Bruins' all-time leader in three-point field goals, it will probably go to Amy Fitch (So., W, Ritzville, Wash.- 2.9 ppg, 2.5 rpg). Sixth-year coach Scott Rueck begins this season with a record of95-33 and back-to-back honors as NWC Coach of the Year in 1999-2000 and Co-Coach of the Year in 2000-01.

The Bruins, ranked 1Oth in the nation in the latest NCAA Division III national poll conducted by d3hoops.com, improved their record to 4-0 by shooting 58 percent from the field, including a scorching 55 percent on 11-of-20 from beyond the three-point line. Western Baptist, which earlier this season lost a 62-58 decision to George Fox, fell to 4-4 with the defeat. George Fox found the shooting touch early in the game as Heather Doud drained a trio of three-point baskets, and the Bruins eventually built their biggest lead of the half at 26-14 on Liz Clark's three-point field goal with 9:17 remaining. TheWarriors responded with a 7-0 run over the next 1:40 and pulled to within five points on Toran Lundgren's two free throws, but the Bruins maintained that five-point edge through the remainder of the half and took a 38-33 lead into the intermission. · After the first 20 minutes the Bruins were shooting 55 percent from the field and the same percentage from the three-point line, but they had gotten to the foul line only one time. The Warriors were able to keep the score close by hitting all nine of their charity attempts in the opening half. Western Baptist went on a 12-6 run in the opening five minutes of the second half, taking its only lead of the game at 45-44 on a three-point play by Chelsey Ward. After that, however, the second half belonged to Prazeau, who was 5-of-9 from the field, including a pair of three-pointers, and hit all four of her free throws. While Prazeau was doing the damage from the outside, Darby Cave had her way inside and finished with a game-high 19 points. Doud had 14 points and Becky Thompson added 11 with 6 assists for the winners. Tati Gallardo led the Warriors with 17 points, including a perfect 7-of-7 at the foul line, while Lundgren had a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds.

Sparked by Heather Doud, who scored all14 of her first-half points in the last eight minutes, the Bruins rallied, cutting the deficit at halftime to two at 33-31. A rebound basket by Doud and a jumper by Nicole Prazeau - gave the Bruins their first lead at 35-33 with 18:49 to play.

Amy Fitch's three at 6:42 gave the Bruins their biggest lead at 60-48, and the Bruins hit five free throws in the last 1:07 to ice it. The Bruins shot .808 (21-26) from the line. Doud finished with 18 points to lead the Bruins, Prazeau scored 16 to give her 1,019 for her career, and Clark added 10. Doud had 8 rebounds and Clark and Sarah Myhre grabbed 7 apiece as George Fox out-rebounded the Missionaries 44-37, including 19 offensive boards.

With the win, Whitworth finishes the regular season at 17-8 overall and 12-4 in league play, two games behind conference champion Pacific Lutheran University. George Fox drops to 20-5 overall and 11-5 in the conference, into a tie for third with the University ofPuget Sound, a 60-58 winner over Willamette University. However, the Bruins have the tiebreaker by virtue of splitting with UPS and PLU, while UPS lost twice to the Lutes. The Bruins, therefore, will travel to Spokane Thursday, Feb. 21, for a rematch with Whitworth. The winner will go to PLU Saturday at 7:00p.m. Whitworth jumped on top 4-0 to start the game on a basket by Chrissy Oneal and two free throws by Tiffany Speer, but with Darby Cave scoring 9 points on four buckets and a free throw, the Bruins went on a 15-6 run to take the largest lead of the half, 15-10, with 14:15left. The rest of the period was a nip-and-tuck affair, with seven ties and five lead changes. Erica Ewart's jumper broke the last tie with 1:19left and gave the Pirates a 36-34 halftime advantage. Speer and Sarah Shogren had 9 points each to lead the Pirates in the half, while Cave had 12 and Heather Doud 10 for the Bruins. The second half was just as close, the biggest lead either team holding being a six-point advantage for the Bruins, 59-53, with 7:03left after a layup by Cave. But the Pirates refused to quit, and Oneal scored back-to-back layups at 1:39 and 0:41 to give Whitworth a 67-661ead Nicole Prazeau hit the first of two free throws with 0:271eft to tie it, but the Pirates rebounded the miss, brought the ball down, and called a time out with 0:14 left. The Pirates then worked the ball into the right comer where the Bruins swarmed in, but Speer was left alone under the basket and made an easy layup for the winner, George Fox worked the ball down quickly and got it to Prazeau for a clear 15-foot jumper on the right baseline, but the potential tying shot went in and out as the hom sounded. Speer and Oneal scored 17 to lead the Pirates, Shogren added 12, and Ewart chipped in with 10. Speer, Oneal, and Shogren all grabbed 10 rebounds apiece as the Bruins were outrebounded by the widest margin all season, 49-37. Ewart handed out 8 assists.

Both teams had trouble getting the ball in the hoop in the early going, Willamette managing an 8-2 lead eight minutes into the game. Bruin coach Scott Rueck then decided to go with his "team of the future", pulling starting seniors Becky Thompson at point, Nicole Prazeau at wing, and Heather Doud at post in favor of freshmen Melissa Alexander, Liz Clark, and Sarah Myhre. The newcomers sparked a 14-2 run that gave George Fox a 16-10 lead, and the Bruins eventually stretched that to 32-18 at the half. The Bruin starters still struggled offensively as the second half began, and with Nancy Weyler scoring eight of her game-high 18 points, the Bearcats reeled off a I 0-0 run to get within four at 32-28. The Bruins upped it back to 10 with 13:261eft on a layup by Emily Ruggles, but then went cold again, missing 12 shots and committing seven turnovers as Willamette posted an 18-1 run to go up 50-43 with five minutes left. Heather Doud'sjumper with 1:08 left got George Fox within one at 52-51. Down 53-51 after a Simmie Muth free throw, the Bruins had a chance to tie as Thompson drove the lane, but Muth fouled her with 1.4 seconds left. As it was only the sixth Willamette foul, the Bruins had to take the ball out under the basket. Thompson's in-bounds pass sailed untouched to the opposite end of the court, however, and the Bearcats got the ball. Muth was fouled with a tenth of a second left and missed her free throw, but time ran out before the Bruins could heave a full-court shot. Myhre was the only Bruin in double figures with 11 points, hitting 5-6 from the floor, while Doud and Clark led the Bruins to a 39-38 rebound edge with 7 boards apiece. Thompson had 4 assists and 4 steals. However, the Bruins suffered through a hoiTendous shooting night, finishing 18-59 (.305) from the field, and were only 7-28 (.250) in the second half. From three-point range, the normally-accurate Bruins (NWC leaders and ranked 28th nationally in percentage) this night made only 3-25 (.120) from behind the line. In addition to Weyler's 18, Muth scored 15 and Kasey Sorenson 11. Rosie Contri grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds, and Sorenson had 6 assists.

The win was the 7th straight for the Bruins, who are ranked No. 9 in the NCAA Division III national poll, lifting their record to 7-0 overall and 2-0 in the conference. George Fox is now two wins away from tying the team record for best start to a season, 9-0 by last year's team. Willamette dropped to 4-4 overall and 0-1 in the conference. Three-pointers by Amy Fitch and Heather Doud and three straight inside baskets by Darby Cave put George Fox ahead 12-6 six minutes into the contest, and the Bruins gradually extended that lead to 33-21 at the half. Cave finished with 10 points and 8 rebounds in the half. Neither team shot particularly well, George Fox making only .343 (12-35) to .286 (8-28) for Willamette. The Bruin defense then turned the defensive pressure up a notch to start the second half, holding the Bearcats to only five points over a 10-minute span as they stretched their lead to 30 points at 56-26. With their second unit in the rest of the way, the Bruins maintained at least a 24-point lead to the end. Cave ended the game with 14 points, Fitch added a career-high 13, and Doud contributed 11. All 10 Bruins who played scored. Cave with 9 rebounds and Emily Ruggles with 8 led the way on the boards as the Bruins out rebounded the Bearcats 51-31. Becky Thompson handed out 6 assists. Rosie Contri topped the Bearcats with 14 and Nancy Weyler scored 10 while grabbing 5 rebounds. George Fox steps out of the conference for its next game Saturday (Dec. 8) against Evergreen State College at 7:30p.m. in Newberg. Willamette visits pre-season conference favorite Pacific Lutheran University Saturday at 8:00p.m. in Tacoma.

The Bearcats are coming off back-to-hack wins in the Lewis & Clark/Bon Appetit Classic, while the Bruins are off to the second-best start in team history (last year's record-setting team started off 9-0). Willamette lost two All-Conference stars in Kelly Sorenson, the league's leading scorer, and Heather Ludwig, but Rosie Contri has stepped into the breach and earned Honorable Mention for NWC "Player of the Week" each of the first two weeks of the season. The Bruins, ranked 9th in the nation in the latest D-UI poll, are riding high after an 81-53 conference-opening win over Pacific Monday. Nicole Prazeau led the way in that one with 19 points, followed by Heather Doud with 16, Darby Cave 11, and Becky Thompson 10, while Mandy Dunham and Emily Ruggles had career highs of 7 points off the bench. THE SERIES The Bruins lead the series with the Bearcats 28-11 ... The teams split last year, George Fox winning 73-62 in Newberg on Jan. 16 and Willamette returning the favor 59-56 in Salem on Feb. 13 ... The Bearcats' win stopped a record-tying 11-game winning streak by the Bruins and ended George Fox's two-week stay at No. I in the nation ...

Anticipating a starting role in her senior season, she was instead beset with injuries this year and played in only eight games, but remained a team leader despite the setbacks.

Feb. 11,2002 ... page 2 BRUIN BITS: *One Week Left with Post-Season Play on the Line for Bruins: With one week and two games left in the regular season, the George Fox Bruins are gearing up for a final assault on post-season play - and the possibilities are seemingly endless. As far as the Northwest Conference is concerned, the only certainty is that Pacific Lutheran will host the championship game of the NWC Tournament on Saturday, Feb. 23. PLU has clinched at least a tie for the conference title, and none of the three teams that could possibly catch the Lutes -George Fox, Puget Sound, or Whitworth- would have the tie-breaker against them. With GFU, UPS, and Whitworth all at four losses apiece, this final week will be filled with drama as they battle for the two remaining tournament spots and the right to host the semi-final game on Thursday, Feb. 21 (not Wednesday, Feb. 20, as posted on some schedules). UPS has three left at home vs. PLU, Linfield, and Willamette, Whitworth goes to Pacific and George Fox, and the Bruins host Whitman and Whitworth. The Bruins can secure second and the home-court advantage by sweeping Whitman and Whitworth during Homecoming weekend and having Puget Sound drop one of its three remaining games. If the Bruins and Loggers win out, Whitworth is eliminated and UPS gets the tie-breaker, because both would have split with# 1 PLU but UPS would be 2-0 vs. #4 Whitworth while the Bruins split with the Pirates. Whitworth and George Fox can tie if the Bruins lose to Whitman and then beat the Pirates on Saturday, or if Whitworth loses Friday at Pacific and then beats George Fox. If the former were to happen, the tie-breaker would go to the Bruins by virtue of their split with #1 PLU while the Pirates lost twice to the Lutes. If the latter happens, Whitworth gets the tiebreaker with two wins over the Bruins. Then throw in the possibility that UPS might win two out of three, and there could be a three-way tie for second! If there is a three-way tie with GFU beating Whitworth, then UPS is 3-1 vs. GFU and Whitworth, GFU 2-2 vs. the other two, and Whitworth 1-2 and out. If there is a three-way tie with Whitworth beating George Fox, then UPS is 3-1, Whitworth is 2-2, and GFU is 1-3 against each other. Then there are the NCAA Division III National Championships, which begin on Thursday, March 28. The NWC Tournament winner gets the automatic bid, and an at-large bid for the loser is problematic at best, given the past history of NCAA selections. There are 50 spots in the NCAA Tournament- 35 automatic bids to conference champions or conference tournament winners (Pool A), 8 spots for independents and conferences without automatic bids (Pool B), and 7 spots for conference runner-ups (Pool C). If the Bruins win the NWC Tournament, they are in, of course- but if they were to lose in the title game and finish 22-5, would they get in? Who knows? Yes, this week is BIG! Let the fun begin- take it one game at a time and see what happens! *Bruins 17th, 12th in National Polls, 3rd in West Region: An important win over Northwest Conference co-leader Pacific Lutheran on Feb. 1 provided a lift for the George Fox Bruins to 17th and 12th in the two national polls and to 3rd in the West Region in releases of Feb. 5. In the NCAA Division III National Women's Basketball Top 25 poll conducted by D3hoops.com, the Bruins, 19-2 at the time, jumped from 21st to 17th, receiving 238 points. In the USA Today/ESPN/WBCA poll conducted by the Women's Basketball Coaches of America, the Bruins were up one spot to 12th with 110 points. Pacific Lutheran was the only other NWC team in the polls, with 54 points for 27th in the D3hoop poll, and 44 points for 20th in the WBCA poll. Washington University (Mo.), the three-time defending national champion and one of on! two remaining unbeatens (No. 2 Hardin-Simmons is the other), remained on top of both polls, the 9th straight week atop the D3hoops rankings. In the three previous seasons, Washington ranked first in every D3hoops poll but two- and the only team to supplant Washington was George Fox for two weeks last year! In the NCAA Division III West Region rankings, the Bruins also jumped four spots to 3rd, while PLU dropped from 5th to 6th. The NCAA regional committee, which selects teams according to records against regional competition only, have Wartburg (12-2) 1st, St. Benedict (17-3) 2nd, George Fox (10-2) 3rd, Chapman (11-1) 4th, Carleton (15-3) 5th, Pacific Lutheran (9-2) 6th, St. Thomas (15-3) 7th, and Luther (12-4) 8th.

With Nicole Prazeau scoring 10 points in the first 11 minutes, including a pair of three-pointers, the Bruins never trailed in taking a 16-11 lead with 8:39 to play in the first half. But the Loggers caught fire while the Bruins went stone-cold, going on a 23-7 run over the remainder of the period to take a 34-23lead into the break. UPS's Lindsay May scored six of her 10 first-half points to spark the Loggers during that stretch. George Fox shot only .333 in the half (9-27). After scoring the first two points of the second half on a layup by Heather Doud to make it 34-25, the Bruins went over six-and-a-half minutes without scoring again, but the George Fox defense held the Loggers in check as well. Puget Sound did not score in the half until May hit a layup with 14:36 to play. But despite holding UPS to only 6-20 (.300) shooting in the half, the Bruins were never able to make a serious run at the Loggers because they hit only 10-29 (.345) themselves. Down 42-29 with 11:10 to play, the Bruins mounted their only threat as Prazeau hit back-to-backjumpers and Liz Clark sank a three, cutting the UPS lead to 42-36 with 8:51left. But May hit a pair of free throws, Lucy Wilson canned a trey, and Courtney Leybold banked in a 20-footer as the shot clock went off, giving UPS a 49-36 lead with 6:57 left, and the Bruins got no closer than nine the rest of the way. The 44 points scored by the Bruins was their lowest output of the season. Prazeau finished with 14 points, the only Bruin in double figures, Doud grabbed 12 rebounds, and Becky Thompson had 4 assists and 3 steals. In addition to shooting only .339 (19-56) for the game, the Bruins struggled at the line, making only 2-8 (.250) on free throws., while UPS drained 16-20 (.800) from the charity stripe. May had 17 for UPS to lead all scorers, Julie Vanni added 13, and Wilson scored 10. Vanni just missed a double-double with 9 rebounds as the Loggers edged the Bruins on the boards, 38-37. George Fox had its five-game winning streak snapped, dropping to 19-3 overall and 10-3 in the conference. With Pacific Lutheran University winning 60-49 at Willamette University, the Bruins fell a game off the pace set by the Lutes. Puget Sound improved to 16-5 overall and 8-4 in the league, claiming a crucial win in a bid for a spot in the NWC Tournament. 2/9 - WILLAMETTE 53, GEORGE FOX 51: Bearcats Blitz Bruins in Stunning Second-Hal{ Comeback SALEM, Ore.- For the first time in almost three years, the George Fox University women's basketball has dropped two games in a row as the Bruins once again struggled offensively and suffered a heart-breaking 53-51 upset at the hands of the Willamette University Bearcats in Northwest Conference action Saturday night (Feb. 9) here at the Cone Fieldhouse. Both teams had trouble getting the ball in the hoop in the early going, Willamette managing an 8-2lead eight minutes into the game. Bruin coach Scott Rueck then decided to go with his "team of the future", pulling starting seniors Becky Thompson at point, Nicole Prazeau at wing, and Heather Doud at post in favor of freshmen Melissa Alexander, Liz Clark, and Sarah Myhre. The newcomers sparked a 14-2 run that gave George Fox a 16- 10 lead, and the Bruins eventually stretched that to 32-18 at the half. The Bruin starters still struggled offensively as the second half began, and with Nancy Weyler scoring eight of her game-high 18 points, the Bearcats reeled off a 10-0 run to get within four at 32-28. The Bruins upped it back to 10 with 13:26left on a layup by Emily Ruggles, but then went cold again, missing 12 shots and committing George Fox Women's Basketball .•. Feb. 11, 2002 ••. page 6 seven turnovers as Willamette posted an 18-1 run to go up 50-43 with five minutes left. Doud's jumper with 1:08 left got George Fox within one at 52-51. Down 53-51 after a Simmie Muth free throw, the Bruins had a chance to tie as Thompson drove the lane, but Muth fouled her with 1.4 seconds left. As it was only the sixth Willamette foul, the Bruins had to take the ball out under the basket. Thompson's in-bounds pass sailed untouched to the opposite end of the court, however, and the Bearcats got the ball. Muth was fouled with a tenth of a second left and missed her free throw, but time ran out before the Bruins could heave a full-court shot. Myhre was the only Bruin in double figures with 11 points, hitting 5-6 from the floor, while Doud and Clark led the Bruins to a 39-38 rebound edge with 7 boards apiece. Thompson had 4 assists and 4 steals. However, the Bruins suffered through a horrendous shooting night, finishing 18-59 (.305) from the field, and were only 7-28 (.250) in the second half. From three-point range, the normally-accurate Bruins (NWC leaders and ranked 28th nationally in percentage) this night made only 3-25 (.120) from behind the line. In addition to Weyler's 18, Muth scored 15 and Kasey Sorenson 11. Rosie Contri grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds, and Sorenson had 6 assists. The Bearcats shot .400 (20-50) in the game, including .522 (12-23) in the second half.

WILLA.METTE 53, GEORGE FOX 51: Bearcats Blitz Bruins in Stunning Second-Half Comeback SALEM, Ore.- For the first time in almost three years, the George Fox University women's basketball has dropped two games in a row as the Bruins once again struggled offensively and suffered a heart-breaking 53-51 upset at the hands of the Willamette University Bearcats in Northwest Conference action Saturday night (Feb. 9) here at the Cone Fieldhouse. Both teams had trouble getting the ball in the hoop in the early going, Willamette managing an 8-2 lead eight minutes into the game. Bruin coach Scott Rueck then decided to go with his "team of the future", pulling starting seniors Becky Thompson at point, Nicole Prazeau at wing, and Heather Doud at post in favor of freshmen Melissa Alexander, Liz Clark, and Sarah Myhre. The newcomers sparked a 14-2 run that gave George Fox a 16-10 lead, and the Bruins eventually stretched that to 32-18 at the half. · The Bruin starters still struggled offensively as the second half began, and with Nancy Weyler scoring eight of her game-high 18 points, the Bearcats reeled off a 10-0 run to get within four at 32-28. The Bruins upped it back to 10 with 13:26 left on a layup by Emily Ruggles, but then went cold again, missing 12 shots and committing seven turnovers as Willamette posted an 18-1 run to go up 50-43 with five minutes left. Heather Doud's jumper with 1:08 left got George Fox within one at 52-51. Down 53-51 after a Simmie Muth free throw, the Bruins had a chance to tie as Thompson drove the lane, but Muth fouled her with 1.4 seconds left. As it was only the sixth Willamette foul, the Bruins had to take the ball out under the basket. Thompson's in-bounds pass sailed untouched to the opposite end of the court, however, and the Bearcats got the ball. Muth was fouled with a tenth of a second left and missed her free throw, but time ran out before the Bruins could heave a full-court shot. Myhre was the only Bruin in double figures with 11 points, hitting 5-6 from the floor, while Doud and Clark led the Bruins to a 39-38 rebound edge with 7 boards apiece. Thompson had 4 assists and 4 steals. However, the Bruins suffered through a horrendous shooting night, finishing 18-59 (.305) from the field, and were only 7-28 (.250) in the second half. From three-point range, the normally-accurate Bruins (NWC leaders and ranked 28th~ nationally in percentage) this night made only 3-25 (.120) from behind the line. In addition to Weyler's 18, Muth scored 15 and Kasey Sorenson 11. Rosie Contri grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds, and Sorenson had 6 assists. The Bearcats shot .400 (20-50) in the game, including .522 (12-23) in the second half. George Fox fell to 19-4 overall and 10-4 in the conference while suffering its first two-game losing streak since Dec. 1 and 4, 1998. Willamette improved to 10-13 overall and 5-9 in the league. The Bruins will try to turn things around during their Homecoming weekend, starting with Whitman College Friday (Feb. 15) at 6:00p.m. The Bearcats visit Lewis & Clark College Tuesday (Feb. 12) at 6:00p.m. Both games will be followed by men's games at 8:00p.m. OFFICIAL BASKETBALL BOX SCORE -- G A M E TOTALS George Fox vs Willamette 02/09/02 6:00 pm at Salem, OR VISITORS: George Fox 19-4, 10-4 NWC TOT-FG 3-PT REBOUNDS No. N A M E FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT PF TP A TO BLK S MIN 05 Nicole Prazeau f 1-6 0-2 0-0 0 2 2 1 2 0 3 0 1 24 33 Heather Doud f 2-8 0-2 0-0 2 5 7 2 4 1 5 1 2 30 42 Darby Cave c 3-7 0-0 3-3 3 0 3 3 9 0 3 1 0 22 20 Becky Thompson g 0-5 0-5 0-0 0 0 0 1 0 4 1 0 4 23 25 Amy Fitch g 1-8 1-6 0-0 1 3 4 0 3 1 1 0 2 24 10 Melissa Alexander 1-3 0-0 5-6 0 4 4 1 7 2 2 0 0 18 22 Mandy Dunham 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 23 Liz Clark 2-11 1-8 3-4 2 5 7 1 8 3 4 0 2 27 40 Sarah Myhre 5-6 0-0 1-1 4 2 6 4 11 0 1 0 2 20 50 Emily Ruggles 3-5 1-2 0-0 1 3 4 0 7 2 0 1 1 12 TEAM . . • . . • ...... • • . . • . . . . . • • . . • . . . • . . . • . . . . . 1 1 2 TOTALS 18-59 3-25 12-14 14 25 39 14 51 13 20 3 14 200 TOT-FG lstH: 11-31 35.5% 2ndH: 7-28 25.0% OT: 0-0 00.0% Game: 30.5% Deadbl 3pt-FG lstH: 2-13 15.4% 2ndH: 1-12 08.3% OT: 0-0 00.0% Game: 12.0% Rebs FThrow lstH: 8-9 88.9% 2ndH: 4-5 80.0% OT: 0-0 00.0% Game: 85.7% 0 HOME TEAM: Willamette 10-13, 5-9 NWC TOT-FG 3-PT REBOUNDS No. N A M E FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT PF TP A TO BLK S MIN 32 Rosie Contri f 2-11 1-4 0-0 3 10 13 1 5 2 1 0 1 40 40 Nancy Weyler f 7-9 1-1 3-3 0 4 4 3 18 2 3 1 1 35 45 Kasey Sorenson c 4-14 0-1 3-5 3 2 5 2 11 2 6 1 0 29 11 Wenchi Liu g 1-4 0-0 0-0 0 2 2 4 2 3 3 0 2 21 30 Simmie Muth g 5-8 2-5 3-5 2 4 6 2 15 0 4 1 2 35 03 Abbie Unick 0-1 0-1 0-0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 9 04 Kelsey Gederos 0-1 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 4 21 Tara O'Connor 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 23 Danielle Page 0-1 0-0 0-0 0 3 3 1 0 1 4 0 1 13 33 Jammie Muth 1-1 0-0 0-0 1 2 3 1 2 0 1 0 0 i3.

With Nicole Prazeau scoring 10 points in the first 11 minutes, including a pair of three-pointers, the Bruins never trailed in taking a 16-11lead with 8:39 to play in the first half. But the Loggers caught fire while the Bruins went stone-cold, going on a 23-7 run over the remainder of the period to take a 34-23lead into the break. UPS's Lindsay May scored six of her 10 first-half points to spark the Loggers during that stretch. George Fox shot only .333 in the half (9-27). After scoring the first two points of the second half on a layup by Heather Doud to make it 34-25, the Bruins went over six-and-a-half minutes without scoring again, but the George Fox defense held the Loggers in check as well. Puget Sound did not score in the half until May hit a layup with 14:36 to play. But despite holding UPS to only 6-20 (.300) shooting in the half, the Bruins were never able to make a serious run at the Loggers because they hit only 10-29 (.345) themselves. Down 42-29 with 11:10 to play, the Bruins mounted their only threat as Prazeau hit back-to-backjumpers and Liz Clark sank a three, cutting the UPS lead to 42-36 with 8:51left. But May hit a pair of free throws, Lucy Wilson canned a trey, and Courtney Leybold banked in a 20-footer as the shot clock went off, giving UPS a 49-36 lead with 6:57 left, and the Bruins got no closer than nine the rest of the way. The 44 points scored by the Bruins was their lowest output of the season.

GEORGE FOX UNIVERSITY MEMORIAL FIELDHOUSE- TACOMA, WASH- NORTHWEST CONFERENCE LOGGERS DOWN BRUINS TO STAY IN PLAYOFF HUNT The Puget Sound Loggers used stingy defensive play and road the offensive performance of freshman Lindsay May to hold off the Northwest Conference leading Bruins of George Fox Unjversity 55-44 Friday night at Memorial Fieldhouse. The Bruins, ranked 12th in the WBCA ESPN!USA Today poll, had won six straight over the Loggers dating back to January of 1998. The Loggers remain undefeated on their hoDle hardwoods at 8-0 but most importantly remain in the race for one of three Northwest Conference playoff spots. May scored 10 of her 17 points in the first stanza as the Logger defense forced 10 turnovers and held the Bruins to 33% from the floor and raced to a 34-23 halftime advantage. The Loggers trailed by as many as 6 points to start the contest but took the lead for good a 19-18 with 4:44 to go in the first half. The Bruins got as close at 6 points at 8:51in the second half when Liz Clark nailed a three pointer. Puget Sound held the lead throughout the second and extended the margin to as many as 13 points with 6:50 remaining. The Bruins Darby Cave hit a bucket with 5:50 to go to pull to 4940 but the Loggers were solid at the free throw line down the stretch hitting on five of six from the charity stripe. The Loggers had three players in double figures led by May with 17 points and 8 rebounds while Julie Vanni who was slowed by three first-half fouls, hit for 13 points and pulled down 9 rebounds. Lucy Wilson added 10 points for the Loggers who shot 37% from the floor and 80% from the line. The Bruins were led by Nicole Prazeau with 14 points and Liz Clark added 9 points. Heather Doud was outstanding on the boards with 12 rebounds and contributed 8 points. The Bruins were 19- 56 (34%) from the floor and just 2-8 (25%) from the line. The Loggers won the battle of the boards by a slim 38-37 margin. ' Puget Sound, 16-5 overall and 84 in league play, travels to Lewis & Clark on Saturday night for another NWC affair while the Brujns (19-3 and 10-3) travel to face the Wi11amette Bearcats.

The USA Today/ESPN/WBCA Top 25 poll conducted by the Women's Basketball Coaches of America was not available. George Fox received 189 points for 21st in the D3hoops poll after having 145 for 22nd the week before. Pacific Lutheran, 14-2 at the time of the poll, was the only other Northwest Conference team in the poll, with 114 points for 22nd, up three spots. Washington University (Mo.), the three-time defending national champion, remained on top of the poll for the 8th straight week. In the three previous seasons, Washington ranked first in every D3hoops poll but two - and the only team to supplant Washington was George Fox for two weeks last year! In the NCAA Division III West Region rankings, the Bruins were up one spot to 7th. The NCAA regional committee, which selects teams according to records against regional competition only, have Wartburg (10-2) 1st, St. Benedict (15-2) 2nd, Carleton (13-2) 3rd, St. Thomas (13-2) 4th, Pacific Lutheran (8-1) 5th, Chapman (11-1) 6th, George Fox (6-2) 7th, and Simpson (11-4) 8th.

She tied a mark set by former All-American Katie Lacey, who was 6-6 in the season opener last year at Cascade in Portland on Nov. 21, 2000. * Barram Lost for Season with Torn Meniscus: Jill Barram (Sr., PG, Salem, Ore.), who missed the first month of the women's basketball season due to a strained ligaments in her right knee incurred in pre-season practice, appears lost to the team for the rest of the season after suffering a torn meniscus in the knee diving for a ball in the Bruins' 69-57 win at Whitman on Jan. 19. She was to have further examinations this week, but it seems likely that surgery will be performed on the knee some time in the next month. If so, her four-year career with the Bruins will come to a close with a total of 371 points (4.7 ppg), 129 rebounds (1.6 rpg), 135 assists (1.7 apg), and 54 steals (0.68) in 79 games. * Bruins Tie Record with 11 Straight Wins while Setting Mark for Best Start Ever This year's George Fox Bruins opened the season with 11 straight wins before suffering their first setback of the season, a 51-45 loss at Pacific Lutheran on Jan. 5.

In a 71-51 win at Linfield on Friday, she scored a game-high 17 points, hitting 6-10 from the field (4-4 on 3's) and 1-1 from the line, with 9 rebounds, 3 assists, I blocked shot, and I steal.

She won two NWC "Player of the Week" awards for Nov. 18-24 and Dec. 10-23. * On the All-Time Lists: Nicole Prazeau (Sr., W, Portland, Ore.) became only the 8th player in George Fox women's basketball history to reach 1,000 points for a career when she scored her 6th point in the Bruins' game at Whitworth on Jan. 18.

George Fox, now 15-2 on the season, was 14th in the previous D3hoops poll and lOth in the WBCA poll. The Bruins received 145 points for 22nd in the D3hoops poll and 86 points for 14th in the WBCA poll, tying with St. Thomas MN. Pacific Lutheran was the only other NWC team in the top 25, with 7 I points for 25th in the D3hoops poll, and 43 points for 21st in the WBCA poll. Washington University (Mo.), the three-time defending national champion, remained on top of both polls. In the three previous seasons, Washington ranked first in every D3hoops poll but two- and the only team to supplant Washington was George Fox for two weeks last year! In the West Region, in which rankings are based only on results within the region (which means NWC games only for the Bruins this season), George Fox is rated 8th. The Bruins are 6-2 against region competition, all NWC games. St. Thomas MN is 1st ( 12- I), followed by St. Benedict ( 13-2), Chapman (1 0-1), Simpson (1 0-2), Pacific Lutheran (6-1), Carleton (11-2), Wartburg (8-2), and George Fox. Five teams (all but St. Thomas and St. Benedict) ranked ahead of the Bruin in the region are ranked behind them in the national polls.

The Bruins led 48-19 at the half, and stretched the spread to as many as 35 at 69-34 on a Sarah Myhre layup with 8:58 remaining. The Pios got no closer than 27 in the second half, Kim McBride's jumper making it 79- 52 with 3:39 to play. In addition to Doud's 22 (in only I8 minutes), Nicole Prazeau scored 14, Darby Cave 12, and Melissa Alexander tied her career high with 11.

After getting off to one of their best starts in years at 7-4, the Pios have lost their last 6 in a row. One of the biggest reasons for the downturn has been the loss to injury of leading scorer Brynn Henkel (16.3 ppg) after the first 6 games. The Pios were idle last night, but dropped a 78-45 decision at Puget Sound last Tuesday. In last night's game, the Bruins, the NWC leaders in three-pointers per game (5.2), used the ' long ball' again, hitting 10 of 17 from long rangetop defeat their Yamhill County rivals. Heather Doud led the way with 17 points, hitting 6- 10 from the field (4-4 on 3's), while Nicole Prazeau added 13 and Darby Cave 12, hitting 6-8 from the floor. Doud had 9 rebounds, and Becky Thompson had 7 assists and 4 steals.

Jan. 21, 2002 ••. page 2 BRUIN BITS: * On the All-Time Lists: Prazeau .Joins 1,000-Point Club Nicole Prazeau (Sr., W, Portland, Ore.) became only the 8th player in George Fox women's basketball history to reach 1,000 points for a career when she scored her 6th point in the Bruins' game at Whitworth on Jan. 18. She finished the game with 9 points, then added 16 more on Jan. 19 at Whitman, giving her 1,019 and moving her past Tracy Nelson (1,001) into 7th on the all-time scoring list. In 6th place is Liz Stephens (1,197). She is also closing in on the top 10 in assists and steals. With 163 assists, she needs 6 to pass Tabitha Greller (168) for lOth, and with 123 steals, she needs 8 to pass Katie Lacey (130) ... Becky Thompson (Sr., PG, Colton, Ore.) had 7 assists and 3 steals in three games during the week, remaining 3rd in career assists (347) and 3rd in steals (204). It is unlikely she will catch the No. 2 assists leader, Linda Funderhide (538), but she needs only 2 more steals to pass Nancy Rissmiller (205) for 2nd. No. 1 is Linda Funderhide (243). * Doud Honorable Mention for NWC "Player of the Week": Heather Doud (Sr., P, Corvallis, Ore.) led the team in scoring in both games as the Bruins went 1-1 on their eastern Washington swing, earning Honorable Mention for Northwest Conference "Player of the Week" for Jan. 14-20. In a 74-64loss at Whitworth on Friday, she scored 18 points, hitting 7-9 from the field (3-5 on 3's) and 1-2 from the line, with 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal. In a 69-57 win at Whitman on Saturday, she again scored 18, 14 in a 7 -minute span at the end of the first half to rally the Bruins from a 14-point deficit, hitting 7-13 from the field (1-4 on 3's) and 3-4 from the line, with 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 blocked shot, and 2 steals. For the week, she totaled 36 points (18.0) on 14-22 from the field (.636), 4-9 on 3's (.444), and 4-6 from the line (.667), grabbed 14 rebounds (7 .0), and had 3 assists, 1 blocked shot, and 3 steals.

GEORGE FOX 64: Hot Start Propels Pirates Past Bruins SPOKANE, Wash.- A 17-2 run midway through the first half enabled Whitworth College to race from a one-point lead to a 16-point lead and the Pirates never led by less than double figures the rest of the way, posting a 74-64 upset of the George Fox University Bruins in Northwest Conference women's basketball action Friday night (Jan. 18) here at the Whitworth Fieldhouse. . The hot hands of the Pirates' Erica Ewart and Chrissy Oneal, who scored 17 and 11 respectively in the first half, and a horrible half of shooting (the Bruins hit only 5-28 in the half, a .179 percentage) led to a 35-18 halftime deficit for the visitors. The Bruins committed 10 turnovers in the half and hit only 1 of 12 three-point tries. Whitworth stretched its lead to 21 three times early in the second half before the Bruins finally found their range.

Ewart finished with 29, hitting 9-13 from the field, including 5-7 from three-point range, and Oneal had 20 on 8-10 shooting. Sarah Shogren added 12 off the bench.

The hot hands of the Pirates' Erica Ewart and Chrissy Oneal, who scored 17 and 11 respectively in the first half, and a horrible half of shooting (the Bruins hit only 5-28 in the half, a .179 percentage) led to a 35-18 halftime deficit for the visitors. The Bruins committed 10 turnovers in the half and hit only 1 of 12 three-point tries. Whitworth stretched its lead to 21 three times early in the second half before the Bruins finally found their range. George Fox shot .692 in the second half (18-26), only to have the Pirates respond by hitting .583 (14-24) to- keep the Bruins at bay. George Fox managed to get within 10 with 3:11 left and again at the end of the game. Ewart finished with 29, hitting 9-13 from the field, including 5-7 from three-point range, and Oneal had 20 on 8-10 shooting. Sarah Shogren added 12 off the bench. The 74 points was the most scored against the Bruins in a game this season. Oneal and Tiffany Speer had 7 rebounds apiece as the Pirates edged the Bruins, the conference's top rebounding team, 35-33. For George Fox, Heather Doud scored 18 on 7-9 from the field, Amy Fitch chipped in with 12, and Sarah Myhre scored 10 off the bench.. Doud and Becky Thompson had 6 rebounds each for the Bruins. George Fox saw its three-game winning streak end as it fell to 14-2 overall and 5-2 in the conference. The Bruins are ranked 14th in the D3hoops.com poll and lOth in the USA Today/ESPNIWBCA Division III poll. Whitworth improved to 10-6 overall and 5-2 in the league. The Bruins continue their eastern Washington swing Saturday (Jan. 19), facing the Whitman College Missionaries at 6:00p.m. in Walla Walla., followed by the men's game at 8:00p.m. The Pirates host the Pacific University Boxers Saturday at 6:00p.m. OFFICIAL BASKETBALL BOX SCORE -- G A M E TOTALS George Fox vs Whitworth 01/18/02 6:00 pm at Spokane, WA VISITORS: George Fox 14-2, 5-2 NWC TOT-FG 3-PT REBOUNDS No. NAME FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT PF TP A TO BLK S MIN 05 Nicole Prazeau 4-12 1-3 0-0 0 2 2 4 9 1 1 0 2 25 10 Melissa Alexander 1-3 0-0 2-2 1 0 1 1 4 1 1 0 0 9 11 Jill Barram 0-4 0-2 0-0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 20 Becky Thompson 2-4 0-1 2-4 1 5 6 2 6 4 2 1 1 37 2 2 Mandy Dunham 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 4 23 Liz Clark 2-6 0-2 1-1 2 3 5 1 5 0 3 0 0 21 25 Amy Fitch 4-7 2-3 2-3 0 0 0 2 12 0 4 0 0 17 33 Heather Doud 7-9 3-5 1-2 2 4 6 3 18 2 2 0 1 33 40 Sarah Myhre 3-4 0-0 4-8 3 1 4 4 10 2 1 0 0 19 42 Darby Cave 0-1 0-0 0-0 2 3 5 0 0 2 1 0 1 18 50 Emily Ruggles 0-4 0-2 0-0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 TEAM •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 0 2 2 TOTALS 23-54 6-18 12-20 12 21 33 17 64 12 16 1 5 200 TOT-FG lstH: 5-28 17.9% 2ndH: 18-26 69.2% OT: o-o 00.0% Game: 42.6% Deadbl 3pt-FG lstH: 1-12 08.3% 2ndH: 5-6 83.3% OT: 0-0 00.0% Game: 33.3% Rebs FThrow lstH: 7-10 70.0% 2ndH: 5-10 50.0% OT: 0-0 00.0% Game: 60.0% 3 HOME TEAM: Whitworth 10-6, '5-2 NWC TOT-FG 3-PT REBOUNDS No. NAME FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT PF TP A TO BLK S MIN 25 Tiffany Speer f 0-2 0-1 0-0 1 6 7 4 0 2 1 0 1 30 40 Jaime Dreewes f 2-6 0-0 0-0 1 1 2 3 4 1 4 0 0 19 41 Chrissy Oneal f 8-10 0-1 4-6 2 5 7 4 20 1 1 0 1 35 12 Kara Marusa g 0-4 0-2 0-0 2 1 3 1 0 0 2 0 0 14 24 Erica Ewart g 9-13 5-7 6-7 0 4 4 1 29 4 2 0 2 38 04 Melody Mathews 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 05 Michelle Gallagher 1-5 1-5 0-0 2 0 2 0 3 0 1 0 0 11 30 Sarah Shogren 4-8 0-0 4-6 2. 3 5 3 12 0 2 0 3 ;20 32 Dani Bielec 2-4 1-2 1-2 0 3 3 1 6 5 2 0 2 26 33 Camille Booker 0-1 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 5 TEAM •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 1 0 1 TOTALS 26-53 7-18 15-21 11 24 35 18 74 13 15 0 9 200 TOT-FG lstH: 12-29 41.4% 2ndH: 14-24 58.3% OT: 0-0 00.0% Game: 49.1% Deadbl 3pt-FG lstH: 4-11 36.4% 2ndH: 3-7 42.9% OT: o-o 00.0% Game: 38.9% Rebs FThrow lstH: 7-11 63.6% 2ndH: 8-10 80.0% OT: 0-0 00.0% Game: 71.4% 1 OFFICIALS: Joe Thompson, Jeff Shureman, Dave Moorehouse TECHNICAL FOULS: George Fox none Whitworth none ATTENDANCE: 433 SCORE BY PERIODS: 1st 2nd OTl OT2 OT3 OT4 TOTAL George Fox 18 46 64 Whitworth 35 39 74 OFFICIAL BASKETBALL BOX SCOR.i;!;

George Fox slipped from 6th to 16th with 249 points. The loss also vaulted PLU, 10-1, ahead of the Bruins into 14th with 266 points. They were the only two Northwest Conference teams to receive votes. In the USA Today/ESPNIWBCA poll ofJan. 9, the Bruins were ranked 13th with 91 points, while Pacific Lutheran was ranked 15th with 80. Again, they were the only two NWC teams mentioned. Washington University (Mo.), the three-time defending national champion, remained on top for the fifth week in a row with 622 points and 22 first-place votes in the D3hoops.com poll, after running second to Messiah College in the pre-season and first weekly polls.

PUGET SOUND 49: Bench Play Gives Bruins Lift over Loggers NEWBERG, Ore.- Reserves Liz Clark, Jill Barram, and Sarah Myhre combined for 42 points, giving the George Fox University Bruins the lift they needed to defeat the University of Puget Sound Loggers 70-49 in Northwest Conference women's basketball Tuesday night (Jan. 8) here at the Wheeler Sports Center. With the Bruin starters struggling on offense, Myhre and Clark came off the bench to score 9 and 7 points 1 respectively in the first half, enabling the Bruins, ranked 16 h in the latest NCAA Division III national poll, to forge a 26-26 halftime tie. George Fox shot only .333 (10-30) in the half while Puget Sound managed a .391 mark (9-23) In the second half, it was Barram with 12 points, Clark with 10, and starter Nicole Prazeau with 8 that sparked the Bruins to an eventual runaway victory. Leading only 45-42 after the Loggers' Angie Cashman made a pair of free throws with 10:06 left, the Bruins went on a 17-0 run over the next six minutes for a 62-42 lead and firm control of the game. The Bruins' shooting improved to .529 (18-34) in the final half while the defense held the Loggers to .318 (7 -22) from the field. Clark finished with a career-high 17 to lead all scorers, Barram had 14 in her first extensive action since rejoining the team during the holidays after a knee injury, Myhre had a career-high 11, and Prazeau added 11. Myhre and Prazeau grabbed 7 rebounds apiece to carry the Bruins to a 37-33 edge on the boards. Prazeau and Heather Doud had 4 steals each as the Bruins forced 20 UPS turnovers while making only 11 of their own. Becky Thompson had a game-high 6 assists. The Loggers were led by Julie Vanni, the league's leading scorer at 17.8 points per game, with 13, and Jen McLuen came off the UPS bench to score 1 1. Vanni had a team-high 6 rebounds. George Fox got back on the winning track after suffering its only loss of the season Saturday at Pacific Lutheran University, improving to 12-1 overall and 3-1 in the conference. Puget Sound slipped to 9-2 overall and 1- 1 in the league. The Bruins next visit Lewis & Clark College Friday (Jan. I 1) while the Loggers are at Whitworth College Friday.

Led by Julie Vanni, the NWC's leading scorer (17.4) and 2nd-ranked rebounder (8.6), the Loggers have stamped themselves as a legitimate contender for the conference crown with their 9-1 start. Allison McCurdy gives UPS a strong outside threat as she leads the NWC in 3-pointers per game (2.22), while Lindsay May was last week's NWC Player of the Week with a 24- point, 6-rebound performance vs. Pacific. Expect another defensive battle, as the Bruins are 3rd in scoring defense (54.5) and the Loggers are 4th (58.4). Heather Doud with 15 points and 9 rebounds, Darby Cave with 12 points, and Liz Clark with 11 led the Bruins in the PLU game. THE SERIES The Bruins lead the series with the Loggers 7-4 ...

Hitting four of their first five shots, the Knights jumped out to an early lead and were up 14-8 after a Gloria Doud layup with 14:15 to go in the first half. The Bruins, who struggled all night from the field until the overtime period, trailed most of the half but managed to take a 28-27 halftime lead on a Darby Cave (So., P, Portland, Ore.) jumper with 1:58 left. George Fox went on an 11-2 run to start the second half to take apparent control with a 39-29 lead at 16:14, and maintained a lead until late in the half.

Shawna Damon's rebound basket gave Warner Pacific their final lead of 62-60 with 1:50 to play, but Heather Doud' s layup at 1:20 tied it for the Bruins, setting the stage for Thompson's free-throw heroics. She drained a pair with 41 seconds left for a 64-62 Bruin lead, then after Doud rebounded a miss that could have tied the game with I 4 seconds left, Thompson hit two more freebies with 11 seconds remaining to ice the hard-fought win. George Fox survived despite shooting only .300 (21-70) from the field, and only a 3-5 overtime got them to that mark. The Bruins also committed 23 turnovers, but forced the Knights into 20 and held them to a .356 (21-59) shooting night. The Bruins' rebounding was the decisive factor in the game as George Fox held a 57-38 edge on the boards, including 23 on the offensive end. Cave and Doud each turned in double-doubles for the Bruins, Cave with 18 points and 10 rebounds and Doud with 14 and 14.

The Bruins, ranked 6th in the NCAA Division III, fell to 11-1 overall and 2-1 in the conference, while the Lutes, ranked 29th, improved to I 0-1 overall and moved a game-and-a-half ahead of George Fox in the league standings at 4-0.

Nicole Prazeau hit a short jumper from the left baseline to open the scoring, giving the Bruins the only lead they would hold in the first half at 2-0. Pacific Lutheran twice built leads of as much as five points but could never put the Bruins away, and led 25-22 at the break. Liz Clark gave George Fox its first lead of the second half, 31-30, with a jumper at the 14:28 mark, and Darby Cave added a jump hook at 13:50 for the Bruins's biggest lead of the game at 33-30. But the Lutes rallied behind back-to-back steals and layups by Toni Craig to regain the advantage, 36-35, at 9:07. A Becky Thompson free throw at 4:22 pulled the Bruins back into a 42-42 tie, the 7th tie of the game, but Jessica Iserman's free toss at 4:02 broke the tie and put the Lutes ahead for good. PLU stretched it to 47-42 at 2:54 on a pair of baskets by Jamie Keatts. Heather Doud's three-pointer with 30 seconds left cut the deficit to 47-45, but Becky Franza hit two free throws with 13 seconds left and Keatts added two more with 0.1 remaining for the final 6- point margin, the largest of the game for either team. The game was expected to be a defensive struggle, and the final numbers showed it. PLU held the Bruins to a .362 shooting percentage (17-47) while George Fox held the Lutes to .400 (20-50). The Lutes forced 22 Bruin turnovers and blocked 10 shots, while George Fox pressured PLU into 15 turnovers and blocked a pair. PLU edged the Bruins on the boards 32-31.

The victory was the eighth straight for the Lutes and gave the previously undefeated Bruins, ranked sixth nationally by d3hoops.com, their first loss in 12 games. The game was a rematch of last year's NWC championship game mwhich the Bruins beat the Lutes, 63-58, in Newberg, Ore. PLU ended a five-game losing streak against George Fox. The last previous win occurred Feb. 27, 1999, 61-35. The largest lead of the game by either team, six points, occurred for the flrst and only time with 0.1 seconds. Jamie Keatts swished two free throws, giving PLU the fmal tallies of the game. Surprisingly, for a game so close, there were only three lead changes. A jumper by Hilary Berg gave PLU an early4·21ead, a jumper by Bruin Liz Clark with 14:33 remaining gave George Fox a 31-30 lead, and a steal and fastbreak layup by Lute Toni Craig at the 9:24 mark gave PLU its fmallead of the game at 36-3.5. There were seven ties, the final one occurring at 42 witb 4:24 remaining. The Lutes' leading scorer, Becky Franza, played al140 minutes and scored 13.

Darby Cave added 12 points and Nicole Prazeau gathered eight rebounds for the Bruins. A Bruin turnover by Doud, her lOth, with 3:10 remaining led to a subsequent jumper by Jamie Keatts after a Lute timeout.

After Franza made two free throws with 13 seconds remaining, giving PLU a 49-45 lead, George Fox never got a shot off before Nicole Prazeau committed a turnover with two seconds remaining.

The Bruins tied a record set two years ago by the 1999-2000 team and tied by last year's team while extending their overall record this season to 11-0, the best start in team history. Warner Pacific dropped to 2-14 overall, but the Knights of the NAIA threw a major scare into the Bruins, who are ranked 6th in NCAA Division III. Hitting four of their first five shots, the Knights jumped out to an early lead and were up 14-8 after a Gloria Doud layup with 14: 15 to go in the first half. The Bruins, who struggled all night from the field until the overtime period, trailed most of the half but managed to take a 28-27 halftime lead on a Darby Cave jumper with 1:581eft. George Fox went on an 11-2 run to start the second half to take apparent control with a 39-29 lead at 16:14, and maintained a lead until late in the half. Cave's layup gave the Bruins a 56-47 lead with 3:34 to play, but the Knights scored the final nine points of the period, Alicia Rochelle's two free throws with 1:04left knotting the score 56-56 and sending the game into overtime. Shawna Damon's rebound basket gave Warner Pacific their final lead of 62-60 with 1:50 to play, but Heather Doud's layup at 1:20 tied it for the Bruins, setting the stage for Thompson's free-throw heroics. She drained a pair with 41 seconds left for a 64-62 Bruin lead, then after Doud rebounded a miss that could have tied the game with 14 seconds left, Thompson hit two more freebies with 11 seconds remaining to ice the hard-fought win. George Fox survived despite shooting only .300 (21-70) from the field, and only a 3-5 overtime got them to that mark. The Bruins also committed 23 turnovers, but forced the Knights into 20 and held them to a .356 (21-59) shooting night. The Bruins' rebounding was the decisive factor in the game as George Fox held a 57-38 edge on the boards, including 23 on the offensive end. Cave and Doud each turned in double-doubles for the Bruins, Cave with 18 points and 10 rebounds and Doud with 14 and 14.

Last year's team began the season 9-0 before losing to Northwestern oflowa, the 2nd-ranked team in the NAJA, then went on an 11-0 tear to vault to No. 1 in the nation en route to a best-ever 23-3 record. Both the 2000-01 and 1999-2000 teams recorded record 11-game winning streaks during the season. This year's Bruins can tie the record Wednesday, Jan. 2, if they can defeat Warner Pacific College at home. They would then face perhaps their toughest challenge of the season by trying to break the record on the road against Pacific Lutheran University, the pre-season Northwest Conference favorite and the Bruins' closest competitors the last two seasons. * Bruins Remain in 6th Place Nationally: After a week off for final exams, the George Fox University Bruins remained in 6th place in the NCAA Division III National Women's Basketball Top 25 conducted by D3hoops.com this week, the fifth poll of the season, but picked up eight additional votes for a total of 4 71.

With a 5-0 record, George Fox received 387 votes after garnering 349 the week before. George Fox was 19th with 187 points in the pre-season poll and 14th with 227 points after the first week of the season. Pacific Lutheran was the only other Northwest Conference team to receive votes, totaling 32 which would place the Lutes 30th. Washington (Mo.), the three-time defending national champion, remained on top for the second week in a row after running second to Messiah in the pre-season and first weekly polls. In the three previous seasons, Washington ranked first in every poll but two - and the only team to supplant Washington was George Fox for two weeks last year!! The complete poll for both men and women is available at www.d3hoops.com. * Closing in on Best Start Ever: With an 8-0 record, the George Fox Bruins are closing in on a new record for best start to a season. Last year's team began the season 9-0 before losing to Northwestern of Iowa, the 2nd-ranked team in the NAIA, then went on an 11- 0 tear to vault to No. 1 in the nation en route to a best-ever 23-3 record. The Bruins can set a new mark for best start ever if they can defeat Marian (Wise.) and St. mary's (Ind.) in the AmeriSport Coconut Coast Classic Dec. 17-28 in Hilo, Hawaii. * On the All-Time Lists: With 7 points in the Willamette game Wednesday, Nicole Prazeau (Sr., W, Portland, Ore.) now has 919 career points and ranks lOth on the all-time scoring list. In 9th is Angela Pettit (950). Prazeau should become only the 8th player in Bruin history to score 1,000 career points before the season is over ... Becky Thompson (Sr., PG, Colton, Ore.) had 4 assists and 5 steals vs. Willamette, and now ranks 3rd in career assists (317) and 5th in steals (184). It is unlikely she will catch the No.2 assists leader, Linda Funderhide (538), but she should continue to move up on the steals chart. In 4th place is Melody Groeneveld-McMaster (186) and in 3rd is Tracy Nelson (192). *Personal Highs: Heather Doud set a personal mark for tield goal pet.

GEORGE FOX 75, WILLAMETTE 46: Bruins Beat Bearcats to Run Winning Streak to 7 NEWBERG, Ore. - On a night when their shooters struggled from the field, the George Fox University defense came through with a stellar performance, lifting the Bruins to a 75-46 rout of the Willamette University Bearcats in Northwest Conference women's basketball action Wednesday night (Dec. 5) here at the Wheeler Sports Center. The win was the 7th straight for the Bruins, who are ranked No. 9 in the NCAA Division III national poll, lifting their record to 7-0 overall and 2-0 in the conference. George Fox is now two wins away from tying the team record for best start to a season, 9-0 by last year's team. Willamette dropped to 4-4 overall and 0-1 in the conference. Three-pointers by Amy Fitch and Heather Doud and three straight inside baskets by Darby Cave put George Fox ahead 12-6 six minutes into the contest, and the Bruins gradually extended that lead to 33-21 at the half. Cave finished with 10 points and 8 rebounds in the half. Neither team shot particularly well, George Fox making only .343 (12-35) to .286 (8-28) for Willamette. The Bruin defense then turned the defensive pressure up a notch to start the second half, holding the Bearcats to only five points over a 10-minute span as they stretched their lead to 30 points at 56-26. With their second unit in the rest of the way, the Bruins maintained at least a 24-point lead to the end. Cave ended the game with 14 points, Fitch added a career-high 13, and Doud contributed 11. All10 Bruins who played scored. Cave with 9 rebounds and Emily Ruggles with 8 led the way on the boards as the Bruins out rebounded the Bearcats 51-31. Becky Thompson handed out 6 assists. Rosie Contri topped the Bearcats with 14 and Nancy Weyler scored 10 while grabbing 5 rebounds. George Fox steps out of the conference for its next game Saturday (Dec. 8) against Evergreen State College at 7:30p.m. in Newberg. Willamette visits pre-season conference favorite Pacific Lutheran University Saturday at 8:00 p.m. in Tacoma.

The Bearcats are coming off back-to-back wins in the Lewis & Clark/Bon Appetit Classic, while the Bruins are off to the second-best start in team history (last year's record-setting team started off 9-0). Willamette lost two All-Conference stars in Kelly Sorenson, the league's leading scorer, and Heather Ludwig, but Rosie Contri has stepped into the breach and earned Honorable Mention for NWC "Player of the Week" each of the first two weeks of the season. The Bruins, ranked 9th in the nation in the latest D-Ill poll, are riding high after an 81-53 conference-opening win over Pacific Monday. Nicole Prazeau led the way in that one with 19 points, followed by Heather Doud with 16, Darby Cave II, and Becky Thompson I 0, while Mandy Dunham and Emily Ruggles had career highs of 7 points off the bench. THE SERIES The Bruins lead the series with the Bearcats 28-11 ... The teams split last year, George Fox winning 73-62 in Newberg on Jan. 16 and Willamette returning the favor 59-56 in Salem on Feb. 13 ...

Western Baptist, which earlier this season lost a 62-58 decision to George Fox, fell to 4-4 with the defeat. George Fox found the shooting touch early in the game as Heather Doud drained a trio of three-point baskets, and the Bruins eventually built their biggest lead of the half at 26-14 on Liz Clark's three-point field goal with 9:17 remaining. The Warriors responded with a 7-0 run over the next 1:40 and pulled to within five points on Toran Lundgren's two free throws, but the Bruins maintained that five-point edge through the remainder of the half and took a 38-33 lead into the intermission.

The Warriors were able to keep the score close by hitting all nine of their charity attempts in the opening half. Western Baptist went on a 12-6 run in the opening five minutes of the second half, taking its only lead of the game at 45-44 on a three-point play by Chelsey Ward. After that, however, the second half belonged to Prazeau, who was 5-of-9 from the field, including a pair of three-pointers, and hit all four of her free throws. While Prazeau was doing the damage from the outside, Darby Cave had her way inside and finished with a game-high 19 points. Doud had 14 points and Becky Thompson added 11 with 6 assists for the winners.

George Fox, ranked No. 14 in the NCAA Division III national poll, jumped out to an early 4-0 lead and led most of the first half, taking its largest lead at 19-13 with 8:15 to play on a short jumper by Darby Cave (So., P, Portland, Ore.). But the Warriors, an NAIA team, went on a 12-2 run, with five different players contributing the points, to forge ahead 25-21 with 4:04 to go. The Bruins rallied to knot it 27-27 on a Heather Doud free throw with I :46left, but a banked-in three-pointer by Tara Schmidgall and a jumper by Tati Gallardo gave the Warriors a 32-27 halftime lead. Western Baptist stretched its lead to 10 at 39-29 on a three-pointer by Schmidgall with 17 minutes left in the game, but a 16-6 run over the next three-and-a-half minutes, capped by a pair of free throws by Doud, brought the Bruins to a 45-45 tie. Gallardo's layup put Western Baptist back up 47-45 at 13:20, but the Bruin defense then held the Warriors scoreless for almost seven minutes.

Nov. 26,2001 ... page 4 RUECK'S REMARKS (Quoting coach Scott Rueck): On Western Baptist: "Friday's game against Western Baptist was a solid win for us. Nicole Prazeau had an outstanding shooting performance. We struggled defensively which was in part due to their execution and by us being a step slow. We are looking for more people to step up their scoring; our starters are carrying us right now. We need contributions from more people." On Concordia: "This was a great win against a Concordia team made up of seniors and juniors and a team that has experienced a lot of success. We are still trying to figure out how to play without Katie and I think this game was exactly what we needed. Our returners are finding out where they have to step up their games and expand their roles and our new kids are learning what this college game is all about. I am extremely encouraged by the heart and effort I saw on Saturday. This was a win by a team that will not go down easily and one that will fight and scratch until they find a way to get it done. We have a long, long way to go but with efforts like this I believe we can get there. Congratulations to Heather and Nicole for being named to the All-Tournament team."

George Fox, ranked No. 14 in the NCAA Division III national poll, jumped out to an early 4-0 lead and led most of the first half, taking its largest lead at 19-13 with 8:15 to play on a short jumper by Darby Cave. But the Warriors, an NAIA team, went on a 12-2 run, with five different players contributing the points, to forge ahead 25- 21 with 4:04 to go. The Bruins rallied to knot it 27-27 on a Heather Doud free throw with 1:46 left, but a banked-in three-pointer by Tara Schmidgall and a jumper by Tati Gallardo gave the Warriors a 32-27 halftime lead. Western Baptist stretched its lead to 10 at 39-29 on a three-pointer by Schmidgall with 17 minutes left in the game, but a 16-6 run over the next three-and-a-half minutes, capped by a pair of free throws by Heather Doud, brought the Bruins to a 45-45 tie. Gallardo's layup put Western Baptist back up 47-45 at 13:20, but the Bruin defense then held the Warriors scoreless for almost seven minutes. Amy Fitch's tying basket at 12:20 and Becky Thompson's steal and layup moments later gave the Bruins a lead they would never relinquish and sparked a 9-0 run, giving George Fox a 54-47 lead with nine minutes to play. Gallardo broke the Warriors' scoring drought at 6:37 with two free throws, and they got within three at 61- 58 with 1:05 left, but a Thompson free throw with 4.9 seconds left iced the win. Nicole Prazeau led the Bruins with 19 points, 13 in the first half, hitting 9-11 from the field, Doud added 14, and Darby Cave finished with 11. Doud led the Bruins on the boards with 9 rebounds, Thompson picked up 6 steals as the Bruins forced 28 Warrior turnovers, and Liz Clark had 4 assists off the bench.

The Bruins are coming off a season in which the went 23-3, won the conference with a 15-lleague mark, were ranked No. 1 in the nation for two weeks, participated in the NCAA Division III National Tournament, and finished with a No. 11 national ranking. In the national pre-season poll by d3hoops.com, George Fox received 187 points to place 19th. Messiah College was the top pick with 592 points and 11 firsts, unseating three-time defending national champion Washington University (Mo.), which was No.2 with 553 points and 11 firsts. George Fox is the only team in the past three seasons to be ranked No. 1 besides Washington. The complete poll is available at www.d3hoops.com. The Northwest Conference schedule does not begin for the Bruins until Dec. 3 at home against Pacific University. Pacific Lutheran University was a one-point favorite (77-76) over George Fox for this year's NWC title in balloting by the league's nine coaches. The NWC pre-season poll and other information about the conference and its teams is available at www.nwcsports.com . George Fox met Warner Pacific last season for the first time in nine years, taking a 68-64 victory over the Knights on Dec. 9 in Newberg. The Bruins lead the all-time series with the Knights 22-4 and have won the last seven meetings. The Bruins return three starters from last year's team, including Nicole Prazeau (Sr., W, Portland, Ore.- 11.7 ppg, 4.5 rpg) and Becky Thompson (Sr., PG, Colton, Ore.- 8.3 ppg, 3.7 apg), who were both Second Team All Conference selections, and Heather Doud (Sr., P, Corvallis, Ore.- 10.2 ppg, 6.1 rpg). Darby Cave (So., P, Portland, Ore. - 4.2 ppg, 2.6 apg) is expected to move into the starting center position vacated by two-time NWC Player of the Year and Kodak All-American Katie Lacey, who graduated. If an experienced player is to fill the wing position left by the graduation of Tabitha Greller, the Bruins' all-time leader in three-point field goals, it will probably go to Amy Fitch (So., W, Ritzville, Wash.- 2.9 ppg, 2.5 rpg). Sixth-year coach Scott Rueck begins this season with a record of 95-33 and back-to-back honors as NWC Coach of the Year in 1999-2000 and Co-Coach of the Year in 2000-01. BRUIN BITS: Schedule Adjustments: The Bruins' home match with Willamette University on Wed., Dec. 5, is a 6:00p.m. game. It is listed incorrectly on George Fox schedule cards at 7:30p.m.... Official times for the Bruins' two games in the AmeriSport Coconut Coast Classic Dec. 17-18 in Hilo, Hawaii, have been moved up half an hour. The Bruins will play Marian College (Wise.) on Dec. 17 and St. Mary's College (Ind.) on Dec. 18 at 12:00 noon Pacific time instead of 12:30 p.m. Thursday, November 8, 2001 ---For Immediate Release Contact: Blair Cash, SID (E-mail) [email protected] (0) 503-554-2127 (Fax) 503-554-3830 (H) 503-554-8067 Sports website: www.georgefox.edu/athletics Sports Hotline: 503-554-3868 GEORGE FOX WOMEN'S BASKETBALL HIGHLIGHTS: * Pre-Season Outlook, Quick Facts, Roster, Schedule, '00-01 Stats and Scores 11/8- OUTLOOK: Despite Loss o(Lacey, Bruins Expect to Fight for NWC Crown Again NEWBERG, Ore.- A 23-3 record, Northwest Conference regular season and tournament titles, a No. 11 final national ranking with two weeks spent as the No. 1 team in the country, and the second round of the NCAA National Championships- The 2000-01 season was certainly~ all-time high for the George Fox University women's basketball team. Now, as the 2001-02 season approaches, there are two main questions hovering over the team: One, can the Bruins continue an incredible string of improving their record every year under coach Scott Rueck, now starting his sixth season with the program? Two, how will the Bruins replace starting center Katie Lacey, a Kodak All-American and two-time Northwest Conference Player of the Year? To the first question, Rueck only laughs. "Sooner or later, that streak is going to end- I could handle one more year, though; wouldn't that be sweet?" he asks with a smile. As to the second, Rueck knows that replacing Lacey's 15.5 points, 8.7 rebounds, .562 shooting percentage, .803 free throw mark, clutch play and leadership is virtually impossible. "Katie just might have been the best player this program has ever seen, and no one single player will be able to replace her," Rueck admits. "We'll need to be a more balanced team this year. The past couple years, everyone knew we were going to go to Katie, especially in the last five minutes. We may not focus so much on one person, but several. That would make us a tougher team to defend. This year we're capable of having five scorers on the floor for 40 minutes, and therefore, make up for last year's graduation by committee. I'm looking forward to watching our team step up to that challenge." The Bruins also lost starting wing Tabitha Greller (5.7 ppg, 4.1 rpg), Lacey's sister-in law who ended her career as the all-time leader in three-point field goals made (150). But with three starters back, two of them All-Conference Second Team selections, a strong veteran bench, and several talented newcomers, Rueck expects his team to be right back in the thick of the conference race. Point Guards Becky Thompson (5-8, Sr., Colton, Ore.) returns at the point, bringing steadiness and leadership to the Bruin offense. A Second Team All-NWC pick, she averaged 8.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 2.2 steals a game, and led the conference with a 2:1 assists-to-turnovers ratio. "Becky is in the best shape of her life and is set for a huge year," predicts Rueck. "She knows we'll need more offense from her now and is looking for her shot more often. We'll go as far as she can take us." Jill Barram (5-6, Sr., Salem, Ore.), the Bruins' backup at the point, averaged 6.3 points and 2.6 assists and would probably start on almost any other team in the conference. "Jill is an explosive scorer, the best on the team at creating her own shot, and is very valuable when we get into the open court," says Rueck. She is also a prime candidate for the open spot at the wing, but her contributions may have to wait, as she suffered a knee injury during an early practice that has sidelined her indefinitely. Melissa Alexander (5-3, Fr., Portland, Ore.), a good ball-handler and solid defensive player, led her Wilson High team to an 18-0 record in the Portland Interscholastic League as a junior. She will also see time at the point as she learns from two of the best in preparation for the future. George Fox Women's Basketball ... Nov. 8, 2001 ... page 2 Nicole Prazeau (5-10, Sr., Portland, Ore.) is the other returning Second Team All-NWC player, and will be counted upon for plenty of offense as the team's top perimeter scorer. She posted numbers of 11.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists a game last year. "Nicole became a go-to scorer last season by hitting some huge shots for us late in games. She gained confidence and consistency and appears ready to take her game to the next level," Rueck notes. "She, too, will need to take on a little more of the scoring load." IfBarram does not start at the opposite wing, Amy Fitch (5-8, So., Ritzville, Wash.) is the heir apparent to Greller after contributing 2.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 18 minutes a game in a reserve role. "Amy is an unbelievable athlete who can hit the three or drive and pull up for the jumper," says Rueck. · "We expect her to become a consistent scoring threat and be a big spark for us, either as a starter or off the bench." Shai Workman (5-8, Jr., Moscow, Idaho) brings a three-point threat and good passing ability to her role as a backup wing. She averaged 1.4 points in 10 games last season after transferring from California Lutheran. A trio of newcomers who could make significant contributions this year are Liz Clark (5-9, Fr., Elbe, Wash.), Mandy Dunham (5-10, Fr., Richland, Wash.), and Kellie Thomas (5-10, Fr., Medford, Ore.). Clark was named "Female Athlete of the Year" by the Tacoma News Tribune after earning all state honors in volleyball, softball, and basketball for Eatonville High, where her jersey was retired. "Liz is an energy player, a physical player with a scorer's mentality and already one of our best rebounders. She will see significant playing time at numerous positions; we've used her everywhere from the one to the five," marvels Rueck. Dunham became the 15th player in Washington history to score 2,000 points in a career at Liberty Christian High School, was a First-Team all-state selection, and also has what Rueck calls "a scorer's mentality. She just might be our best at moving without the ball and finding ways to create a shot." Thomas, the all-time scoring leader at South Medford High, is called "the most fundamentally sound wing I've coached" by Rueck. "She handles the ball like a point guard, equally well with either hand, and has a beautiful shot with three-point range." Rueck says that all three incoming wings have the ability to be impact players this year as they adjust to the speed and physical style of the Northwest Conference. Heather Doud (5-11, Sr., Corvallis, Ore.) was the Bruins' third-leading scorer (10.2 ppg) and second-leading rebounder (6.1 rpg) after transferring from Biola University, where she had been an all conference pick her first two college seasons. "Heather was playing in the shadows of Katie and our guards last year, but I don't think anyone would have argued had she shown up somewhere on one of the All-Conference teams after a very good year," says Rueck. "We'll be looking for her to bump both of those numbers up a little as we replace Katie." Moving into the center spot is Darby Cave (6-0, So., Portland, Ore.), who averaged 4.2 points and 2.6 rebounds a game while subbing for Lacey. "Darby got to compete against an All-American every practice last season, so she was taught a new lesson daily and was an outstanding student," Rueck point out. "As the season wore on, she had learned to hold her own, and by the end of the year, she was a handful for Katie. Darby also gained a lot of experience with the summer league team our players have and developed a lot of confidence and strength. She has an outstanding work ethic, is eager to learn, and will be tough to defend one-on-one." Emily Ruggles (5-11, Jr., Eugene, Ore.), whose improvement over the summer has Rueck enthusiastic, will see "solid minutes, a tribute to how hard she has worked. She can play from the three to the five, and has outstanding jumping and shot-blocking ability that could make an impact for us." She averaged 2.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in eight games. Christine McCandless (5'11, Fr., Medford, Ore.) benefited from red-shirting last year and should be ready to contribute this season at both post positions. "Christine has worked extremely hard in the past year and has been successful in developing physical strength, while adding skills that will allow her to play both the four and the five," says Rueck. George Fox Women's Basketball ... Nov. 8, 2001 •.• page 3 Sarah Myhre (6-0, Fr., Corvallis, Ore.) and Jessica Baynes (5-11, Fr., Joseph, Ore.) are the Bruins' newest inside players. Myhre comes from one of the top 4A programs in Oregon at Crescent Valley High and can play either post. She was a First Team All-Valley League selection as a senior. "Sarah is very quick and can shoot the jump hook with either hand, and will be ready to contribute this year," Rueck comments. Baynes was invited to walk on at Division I Pepperdine last year but chose not to. "Jessica is quick and strong, but she is coming off a foot injury she suffered shortly after she got to school and will need some time to work into our system due to her late start," Rueck points out. Summary "We have experienced players at every position, some of whom can play several positions, so we should be a versatile team this year," Rueck assesses the Bruins. "Our starting five are equally capable of producing points, and we have scorers coming off the bench. I really like this group's ability to defend. We have good size throughout our roster, and I think that will be a strength of our team and give some teams trouble. Expectations of this team aren't what they were a year ago because there are more unknowns and we graduated a couple great players. With that said, I really like this team, and I believe we are capable of being as good as last year's". With Rueck, the 2001-02 NWC co-Coach of the Year who has a 95-33 record and .742 winning percentage in his five years at George Fox, at the helm, it is a cinch that the Bruins, IF they have slipped at all, have not dropped far. 1112 - NWC WOMEN'S BASKETBALL POLL: Lutes Edge Bruins by One Vote for NWC Favorites SPOKANE, Wash.- By the narrowest of margins- a single vote- the Pacific Lutheran University Lutes have been picked to unseat the defending Northwest Conference champion George Fox University Bruins in women's basketball, according to a pre-season poll of conference coaches as announced recently by NWC information director Steve Flege at Whitworth College . .The Lutes, who finished second to the Bruins last season, totaled 77 points and picked up six of the nine first place votes. George Fox picked up the other three first place votes and totaled 76 points. The Bruin, who spent two weeks at the top of the NCAA Division III women's basketball poll, won the 2001 title with a record of 23-3 overall and 15-1 in the conference. The Bruins must replace two time NWC Player of the Year and All-American post Katie Lacey, but expect to be strong again with senior point guard Becky Thompson and senior wing Nicole Prazeau coming back after both were named to the All-NWC Second Team. Thompson led the conference with a 2:1 assists-to-turnovers ratio while averaging 8.3 points and 3.7 assists a game, and Prazeau was second team in scoring at 11.7 points a game. Also back is starting post Heather Doud, who posted numbers of 10.2 points and 6.1 rebounds per outing. PLU will be led by Jessica Iserman (Sr., C) and Becky Franza (Sr., PG), both of whom earned First Team All-Northwest Conference selection last season. The Lutes, who won league titles from 1998- 2000, were 20-6 overall last season and 13-3 in the NWC Linfield College and University of Puget Sound were just as close in running for third place in the poll. The Wildcats totaled 57 points to the Loggers' 56 points. Whitworth finished fifth with 49 points and Willamette was sixth with 41 points. Pacific University (22 points), Whitman College (19) and Lewis & Clark College (17) rounded out the final three places in the coaches' poll. Once again this season the Northwest Conference has an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. That bid will go to the winner of the NWC tournament. The top three teams in the conference will qualify for the NWC tournament. The third place team will play at the second place team. The winner will play at the conference champion for the right to the automatic bid. Regardless of that outcome, the regular-season winner will retain the title of conference champion.

Doud was instrumental in the 14th-ranked Bruins' two wins in the Concordia-Portland Tournament during the week of Nov. 20-26. On Friday in a 62-58 win over Western Baptist, she scored 14 points, hit 3-12 from the floor (1-4 on 3' s) and 7-8 from the line, with 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, and 2 steals. In a 63-61 win over Concordia in the finale, she led all scorers with 21 points, hitting 6-14 from the field (3-4 on 3's) and 6-7 from the line, with 10 rebounds, 1 assist, and 4 steals.

She was named to the All Tournament Team. It was Doud' s second NWC "Player of the Week" award, as she also earned the honor last season for the week of Dec. 18-24 while sparking the Bruins to the championship of the adidas D3 Desert Shootout in Las Vegas, Nev. Doud set new personal highs with 7 free throws and 8 free throw attempts vs. Western Baptist, and tied her best with 4 steals vs. Concordia-Portland. She now has 1,064 career points, but 740 of those came in her first two years at Biola University, where she was All-Golden State Athletic Conference both seasons. Currently, Doud ranks 3rd in the Northwest Conference in scoring (20.0); 3rd in rebounding (9.0); 9th in FT% (.895); 5th in 3-pt FG% (.417, tie); 4th in 3-pt FG made (1.67);and 4th in steals (3.33, tie).
