The Ducks were down one of their star players—Sedona Prince, who sat out the game due to injury—but still managed to fly by the Utes thanks partially to impressive play from a promising true freshman and a skilled senior.
Te-Hina Paopao and Erin Boley finished shooting 7-of-11 from the floor for a total of 17 points apiece. Paopao has lived up to her reputation by becoming the only one of Oregon’s five 5-star freshman to snatch a starting role on this deep Duck roster, and that is due to her attacking mentality on both sides of the court.
