Stanford loses to... Oregon?

Corrie Mizusawa was the hero. Nicole Powell had a rough night.

With the Ducks down 5 with about 30 seconds left, Corrie scored. Then she grabbed a loose ball and scored again. Powell (who shot 4-for-14) missed the front end of a 1-and-1. Corrie scored again with 8 seconds left, putting Oregon up one. Powell missed the last shot, and that was it.

"We need to figure out who is going to come to play," coach VanDerveer said. "We need senior leadership. We do not have the competitive fire for 40 minutes that being a great team demands. We need to figure out what combination of people is going to work hard and get done what needs to be done."
