Etute paces UO with 26 points and 10 rebounds in 81-56 win.

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Despite playing nearly 3,000 miles away from home, Oregon found a comfortable rhythm in New England.

The Oregon women's basketball team put together its most efficient offensive performance of the season on Wednesday, as the Ducks shot over 50 percent from the floor and cruised to an 81-56 win over Vermont at Patrick Gymnasium.

Leading by just three at halftime, the Ducks got into a groove on both ends of the floor in the second half. UO shot over 60 percent in the second half while holding the Catamounts to 17 percent, outscoring UVM 43-21 in the process.

"Another good second half," said UO coach Kelly Graves. "After halftime, the kids came out and executed our game plan a little bit better. We got a little bit more flow offensively, and had a couple players play really well."

One of those players was Ehis Etute, who was one point shy of her career high with 26 points to go with 10 rebounds. Etute hit 11-of-12 shots from the floor in recording her third double-double in four games to start the season.

"(Vermont) had no answer for her," Graves added. "We were really trying to focus on getting the ball inside, and then she responded and had a great game."

Junior guard Katie Fiso added 18 points, seven rebounds and four assists, and Mallory Here rounded out a trio in double figures with 19 points while hitting a pair of 3-pointers.

How It Happened: A back-and-forth first quarter saw nine ties and four lead changes, four different Ducks scored to end the frame on a 9-0 run over the final two minutes. Both teams shot 60 percent or better, as Oregon connected on 9-of-15 field goal attempts. Etute produced eight points, as seven different Ducks reached the scoring column in the quarter.

UO stretched its lead to 11 points early in the second quarter after Etute hit consecutive layups. Etute finished the half with 12 points on 5-of-5 shooting. Vermont would respond and trimmed its deficit to one point, 34-33, after going on a 15-5 burst. Baskets from La'u Pele Falatea and Ari Long helped the Ducks carry a 38-35 lead to halftime.

Both squads shot better than 50 percent in the half, as the Ducks went 15-of-28 from the floor, but just 1-for-7 from the 3-point line. Each team logged 24 points in the point.

UO's hot shooting continued out of the break, as the Ducks connected on five of their first seven shots from the field. A triple from Heyer pushed Oregon's lead to 11 points, 51-40, three and a half minutes into the third. From there, Oregon flexed its muscles and outscored the Catamounts 28-11 in the quarter and carried a commanding 20-point lead to the fourth quarter.

Oregon connected on 10-of-15 field goals while limiting UVM to 1-of-12 from the floor. Etute pushed her team-high total to 22 points and eight rebounds, while Fiso had 12 points, six boards and three assists after 30 minutes.

"This is a team that was averaging over 12 (made 3-pointers) a game," Graves said. "They barely even shot 12 and only made four. … I thought our intensity was good."

UO's lead stretched to as many as 30 in the fourth quarter, as the Ducks again shot over 50 percent from the floor in the game's final session. Oregon's defense continued to put the clamps on Vermont's offense, holding the Catamounts to 4-of-17 shooting and 1-for-5 from deep in the fourth.

Up Next: The Ducks wrap up their three-game road trip on Friday at Maine (4 p.m. PT, ESPN+).
