The Ducks came out firing on all cylinders, hitting four of their first five triples to take an early advantage. Arizona's coach Sean Miller was infuriated by his team's play, which quickly picked up after a timeout. Arizona started exploiting their height advantage and getting to the basket at will. The Wildcat played a variation of a box-and-one defense which, stagnated Oregon's offense. That allowed Arizona to gain its first lead of the contest, but it was the only one they'd have. After an Altman timeout, Oregon had a 13-3 surge before the break to take a 40-36 lead.

The second have was all Oregon. The Duck's downtown barrage was too much for the Wildcats to handle. Shooting 12-22…

On Sunday afternoon, the Oregon Ducks Women's soccer team hosted the California Golden Bears in a non-conference match. The Ducks came into this game after beating Pac-12 rival Stanford for the first time in program history, but surrender defeat for the first time this season after Cal’s Emma Westin scored the only goal in the game in the 71st minute.

Junior Forward Jordan Wormdhahl  spoke after the game about the team’s performance, “I think ultimately like its less what they did and more how we responded – we forced somethings that I don’t think we needed to force, and maybe got pulled away from what we tried to do originally – but ultimately, we just had to be a cohesive unit and play a little bit better.”

Early on in the first half, both teams played with good pace on the ball, pushing back and forth. At the end of the first half, the Bears and Ducks both had seven shots and two corner attempts a piece.

However, in the second half, the 14th-…

The #14 Oregon Ducks drop their final regular-season game of the year to the Oregon State Beavers by a score of 88-77. The rivalry game for the Ducks started and ended on a sour note. Prior to the game Oregon guard, Te-Hina Paopao was scratched from the starting lineup due to injury, showing up to MKA in street clothes and a walking boot. It only got worse for Oregon from there as the Ducks were never able to get their footing. The game was a tight battle at halftime, but a huge OSU 10-0 run in the 3rd quarter put Oregon in a hole they never recovered from.

Oregon State held a 3-point clinic tonight. The Beavers knocked down 11 triples on a 55% clip. Six Beavers finished the contest in double digits, led by Aleah Goodman's 20 points.

There was one blinding bright spot for Oregon, Sedona Prince. She finished the day with 22 points, 18 of which coming in the first half. Three other Ducks scored in double…

In game 3 of a four-game series, Seattle University came out on top over the Ducks, 4-2. While still early in the season, Oregon's offense was never able to string together a rally, despite two early runs, one of which scored off a balk. Starter Brett Walker pitched 3 innings, giving up 2 earned runs while striking out 2 and walking 1. Coach Wasikowski said after the game that was the plan from the start, as he wanted to limit Walker to around 50 pitches to keep him healthy.

Oregon will try and take the series tomorrow at PK Park, playing Seattle with first pitch scheduled for 12 pm PST.
