"We've got a lot of really good players," UO head coach Kelly Graves said. "There's only so many minutes so it's made the competition at practice really good; iron sharpens iron. They're really working hard in practice, and it shows up out here. The chemistry's been great so far."

Mevius shot 9-for-10 from floor while adding four assists and two rebounds. Fiso connected on 7-of-9 field goals and scored 10 of her 15 in the first half, and Etute led the Ducks with eight rebounds while going 7-of-8 from the field.

Overall, the Ducks shot 58 percent from the field, but went just 6-of-24 from behind the 3-point line. Defensively, Oregon forced 44 turnovers, largely due to 37 steals on the night.

"We were in the right place at the right time, defensively," added Graves. "We were pretty sound."
