Oregon Ducks Offensive Efficiency Too Much For Utah Utes

The Oregon Ducks found Ruthy Hebard early and often to get to one game over .500 in the Pac-12 with a win over the Utah Utes.

It was another game that the Oregon Women’s Basketball team led most of the way. Ruthy Hebard had 16 points and 7 rebounds in a 73-61 win over the Utah Utes. Utah fought and was within single digits at key points in the game, but Oregon stood tall and never gave up the lead. In part due to 19 second chance points and 17 from players off the bench.

Since the start of the season Head Coach Kelly Graves played every eligible player and he did it again on Friday night. Morgan Yeager was the lone Duck to not score a point and Sabrina Ionescu faced a tough defense. Ionescu still managed 11 points, but she made Utah pay dishing out 9 assists in the win.

Oregon shot 48 percent for the game and 50 percent in the second half after starting the game on a 6-0 run. Maite Cazorla finished with 6 points and 2 rebounds but dished out 6 of the Ducks 22 assists.
