WBB | No. 2 Oregon Falls Short of Civil War Sweep at No. 12 Oregon State

No. 2 Oregon women's basketball had its NCAA-best 17-game win streak snapped Monday night, falling 67-62 in the second-leg of the 2019 Civil War series at No. 12 Oregon State.

Just a few nights removed from its woeful perimeter performance in Eugene where the Beavers went just 6-21 from three, Oregon State built an early 20-15 first quarter lead after hitting four of its first six from beyond the arc. Though the shooting cooled down in the second, the Beavers maintained its lead into the break, 33-27. Oregon generated seven turnovers and got up more shots in the opening half, but struggled with just 33% shooting from the field compared to the blistering 50% from Oregon State. Despite keeping its percentage above 50% throughout the third quarter, Oregon began its slow climb back in the game without star forward Ruthy Hebard, who exited the game in the second quarter with a knee injury. The Ducks managed to tie the game at 45-45 with 1:50 to go in the period, before Oregon…

The Civil War got off to a quick start as both teams traded baskets in the early minutes.

The Ducks struggled to find good looks going to the hoop in the second half due to 6-8 center, Joanna Grymek. The Polish international gave Ruthy Hebard one of her toughest matchups of the year.
