The Lane Community College women's basketball team is known for their winning tradition.

The Titans are still undefeated this season and one player is taking her skills all the way from LCC to one of the best women's basketball programs in the entire nation - her dream school, the University of Oregon.

"I grew up being a Duck fan, for sure. I was 'Go Ducks!' all the way," says junior guard Bella Hamel.

Hamel has watched the Ducks play her entire life and now the Hillsboro native will be one of the Ducks.

"I was like, 'I would love that to be me,’ but I actually never thought I could be at that potential, and I am just so excited that I finally got to this point."

But Hamel didn't always believe that she could play at that level.

"We knew she was special. It was just trying to figure out how special, what special, and where the fit was," said Titans head coach Greg Sheley.

After Hamel dropped 41 points in a scrimmage against Pacific University last October, the guard started playing the way that assistant coach Jack Graves, son of Oregon head coach Kelly Graves, thought would be a good fit on the Oregon squad.

"You wouldn't know it if you're around Bella a lot because she's always smiling laughing, having a good time, but she's really tough, gritty, and does whatever it takes to win and I think that will translate really well to that level,” said Graves. “She's going to be playing with and against some of the best players in the country and she knows that she's up against that."

From a player that came to a community college just hoping for the best, to going to play at Division I level, Hamel has some advice for players that might not know what they are capable of.

"You're going to hit speed bumps, but anyone can overcome anything and if you just set your mind to something,” Hamel said. “You're going to get to where you want to be."
