Oregon Women's Basketball Dominates #9 UConn in Home Upset

Written Story by Justin Grossweiner

Following a thrilling overtime victory to #7 Arizona at home on Saturday, the Oregon Ducks Women's basketball team put on a show at Matthew Knight Arena defeating #9 UConn 72-59. Te-Hina Paopao built off of her career high on Saturday with another stellar performance finishing with 22 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists. For the second straight game Sedona Prince (14 points, 5 rebounds) came off the bench, but her size and shooting skill were critical for Oregon's victory. Guard Caroline Ducharme led the way for UConn with 21 points, and forward Olivia Nelson-Ododa chipped in 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists on 7-9 shooting.

After starting off the game down 10-0 the Ducks went on a 18-0 run starting with 2:31 left in the 1st quarter. Down 14-8, the run sparked by Paopao and Prince gave them a 26-14 lead midway through the 2nd quarter. Prince found her rhythm during that stretch, at one point scoring a 10-0 run by herself…

Rogers Game-Winner Earns Oregon Critical Win Against No. 7 Arizona

Written story by Ethan Hartley

The Oregon Ducks earned an electric 68-66 win against the No. 7 ranked and final four team in 2021, the Arizona Wildcats, thanks to a game-winner hit by Endyia Rogers with 0.04 seconds left. This comes as a complete offensive turnaround after a stagnant first half from the Ducks.

The first half showed no life from the Ducks. They finished shooting an ugly 7-24 from the field. Their one positive out of the half was the Ducks’ work from the free-throw line. Oregon finished 12-12 in the first that equaling 27 of their first-half points. Te-Hina Paopao did end the half with 13 points. But that was overshadowed by her three turnovers out of the team’s eight. But that still wasn’t enough to manage the Wildcats. They put on an offensive clinic of their own, outscoring Oregon 21-12 in the second quarter alone. It was highlighted by back-to-back threes from Cate Reese, which extended Arizona’s lead to as high as 10. She…
