EUGENE, Ore. – The No. 9 Oregon women's basketball team won its fifth-straight game, taking down Southern Utah, 98-38, on Saturday at Matthew Knight Arena. Oregon (8-1) is now a perfect 7-0 at home this year.
HOW IT HAPPENED: Oregon jumped out to an early lead after an incredible first quarter by Sabrina Ionescu. The sophomore went 3-for-3 from three and 5-for-5 overall for 16 points in the first quarter. The Ducks shot 60 percent as a team as they led the Thunderbird, 26-12, going to the second.
It was more of the same in the second quarter. The Ducks used a 10-0 run to take a 38-14 lead with 6:10 left before halftime. Oregon outscored Southern Utah, 31-4, in the second and owned a commanding 57-16 lead at the break. Ionescu did not score in the second quarter, but dished out six assists and had 16 points and seven helpers at halftime.
Lexi Bando got hot in the third quarter, hitting a trio of three-pointers, to give her 17 points at the end of the period. Ionescu (16), Ruthy Hebard (13) and Mallory McGwire were also in double-figures as the Ducks led Southern Utah, 83-30, going to the fourth.
With the Ducks only using their bench in the fourth quarter, the Ducks went on to win, 98-38.
