For the first time all season, the Ducks trailed at halftime, due in large part to 11 turnovers and six Cougar three-pointers. However, Nyara Sabally helped preserve Oregon’s 26-game winning streak (longest in the country) by scoring 11 points in the first half and finishing with her second career double-double, tallying 19 points on 9-of-17 shooting and a career-high 14 rebounds.
