In its biggest loss in over a decade, and largest in the history of Gampel Pavilion, UConn women’s basketball fell to the third-ranked Oregon Ducks, 74-56.
A midrange jumper from Christyn Williams opened the scoring, but Oregon responded with a 10-0 run over the next five minutes that forced Geno Auriemma into a timeout.
The Husky offense finally kicked into gear and UConn started to close in on the lead. However, the Ducks hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to take a 10-point lead after the first quarter that quieted the raucous crowd at Gampel Pavilion.
