LAST TIME OUT
Oregon had to like how it started and finished Tuesday's game against Saint Mary's in the opener of the Hoopfest Women's Challenge. In between, however, the Gaels gave the Ducks all they could handle for much of the afternoon.

The UO women jumped out to an 11-0 lead in the first quarter but later trailed by as many as nine in the second half. It was a fourth-quarter clinic that helped the Ducks to a 71-53 victory at Comerica Center to remain undefeated.

Guards Katie Fiso and Ari Long paced the offense with 15 points each, while Fiso dished out 10 assists for her fourth double-double on the young season. Mia Jacobs added eight points and four rebounds, while Ehis Etute and Janiyah Williams provided a lift off the bench with eight points apiece.

Oregon's defense was once again tenacious, as it forced 26 turnovers behind 14 steals – its fourth outing this season forcing 20 or more turnovers with double-digit steals.
