Cazorla Gives UO Presence in WNBA, And Soon Will Have Company

Early in the fourth quarter of a game against Connecticut on Wednesday morning, Atlanta's WNBA team, the Dream, trailed 61-57. Atlanta needed a spark. Head coach Nicki Collen sought one from her rookie point guard from Oregon.

Into the game went Maite Cazorla. Onto a run went the Dream.

Cazorla started it herself with a layup on a pick-and-roll play, something she ran so often over the previous four seasons with the Ducks. Driving from the perimeter, Cazorla froze the defense with a hesitation move that might have been to set up a pass, before finishing the play herself at the rim.
