Oregon Women Gain Short-Handed, Very Close Win on Road
The Ducks traveled up I-5 to take on the 6-1 University of Portland Pilots in the Chiles Center. Coming off a disappointing loss to UC-Davis, and down three of its top players, Oregon was looking to get back on track with the non-conference schedule dwindling. The Pilots, however, gave Oregon all they could handle, missing a 3-pointer at the buzzer that would have sent the game to overtime. Oregon prevailed 62-59.
First Quarter
Both teams got off to a slow start offensively, a condition that would last for long periods of the game.
