Oregon lets one slip away at No. 25 Washington
The Oregon Ducks overcame an early 14-point deficit to position themselves to defeat No. 25 Washington, but faltered down the stretch in a women’s basketball game Sunday night.
The Ducks trailed by two with 3:47 remaining but went scoreless the rest of the way and lost 51-43 at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle.
Turnovers and poor shooting doomed the Ducks in the final minutes after the Huskies cranked up their defensive pressure.
Washington held Oregon to fewer than 10 points in three of the four quarters.
The night began ominously for the Ducks, who fell behind 17-3 in the first quarter. But they dominated the second quarter, 19-5, to lead 28-27 at halftime.
Oregon made 9 of 14 shots (64.3%) in the second quarter while holding the Huskies to 2-of-13 shooting (15.4%).
But the poor shooting that hurt the Ducks in the first quarter returned in the entire second half.
The Ducks were outscored 10-6 in the third quarter and 14-9 in the fourth.
All told, the Ducks shot 30.9% from the field, went 1 of 10 from beyond the arc and committed 18 turnovers.
Oregon stars Katie Fiso and Mia Jacobs combined to shoot 3 of 24 from the field for nine points.
