Late in practice for the Oregon women's basketball team Monday, the Ducks were working a late-game scenario. Guard Kennedi Williams made a steal and sprinted to the other end of the court.
Williams laid it in for a bucket off the turnover, and was immediately swarmed by her teammates for the drill, including returners Phillipina Kyei and Sammie Wagner, and newcomers Peyton Scott and Sofia Bell.
The moment spoke to the competitive energy of early practices for the Ducks, which began last week. And it spoke as well to the camaraderie forming throughout the new-look roster, a process that got a jump-start thanks to the program's trip to London and Athens in August.
