SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA - Oregon entered the matchup without star player Sedona Prince, who is still recovering from an ankle injury suffered against Colorado in early December, while Stanford was missing three players from their talented roster due to COVID-19 protocol. Still, the contest was a thrilling back-and-forth affair that nearly ended in an Oregon upset of the top team in the Nation.
The Duck defense came up big in the fourth quarter, limiting Stanford to just 10 points in the final frame and holding them to 0-for-8 shooting from the field in the final 8:18 of the game.
