Friday night

The Geoduck women’s basketball team showed how dangerous a team they can be by plucking the Oregon Institute of Technology Owls 65-56 in Klamath Falls, Ore., last Friday night. The Geoducks, who are very much alive in the Cascade Collegiate Conference tournament hunt, claimed their fifth conference win of the season in the always hostile Danny Miles Gym.

No.20: Katie Garcin

Katie Garcin is a senior team captain who joined the Evergreen basketball team as a transfer student from Lower Columbia College in Longview, Washington. A Gooding, Idaho, native, Garcin has seen great success in as a basketball player. Evergreen has enjoyed her hard-nosed defensive prowess as well as her ability to shoot from outside.

Latrina Woods may have had one of her best weekends as an Evergreen basketball player. It got better Tuesday, when she was named Cascade Collegiate Conference Player of the Week for the first time of her Evergreen career. In fact, it’s the first time a Geoduck women’s basketball player has received the honor this season. This comes just one week after Geoduck men’s standout Nate Menefee received the same honor.

The Evergreen women’s basketball team hosted Northwest Christian University Friday night (Jan. 22) in perhaps the most crucial must-win game to date for the Lady Geoducks. The top eight teams in the Cascade Collegiate Conference advance to the post season tournament at the end of February and TESC sat in the “first team out” position in ninth place coming into the game.

Geoduck women’s basketball was at it again last weekend as they took part in a two-game roadtrip that had them going head to head against two Cascade Collegiate Conference teams from Portland, Oregon.

Friday night (Jan. 15)

Women’s Basketball

Tues., Dec. 15, 2009

One team’s losing streak would end Tuesday night in The Green House. The only question looming was whose it would be. The home team, Evergreen (3-7 overall, 0-2 CCC), fought off area foe Pacific Lutheran University (1-6 Overall, 0-0 NWC) 48-45 to end a four-game losing skid and claim their third win of the season in front of an exuberant home crowd. “We did a lot of things we wanted to do,” coach Monica Heuer stated while glancing over the box score.

What a difference two days makes. The Evergreen women’s basketball claimed their second win as many days Friday, Nov. 20, at home versus Menlo College of Atherton, Calif., 64-61. The Lady Geoducks improved their overall record from 0-3 to 2-3 and improved their home record to 2-1 over the two day span.

The Evergreen women’s basketball team had at least one reason to be thankful during the week break. They claimed their first win of the season exactly one week before Thanksgiving in dramatic fashion. The Geoducks triumphed 46-45 against the visiting University of Puget Sound Loggers in a game that was decided on the last possession of the game.
