WBB recap: Big second quarter run propels Ducks into WNIT quarters

Oregon went on a 17-0 run in the second quarter and the Ducks defeated San Diego by 20 and advanced to the WNIT quarterfinals.

With Oregon shooting threes like it did tonight, even Stanford would have had a tough time beating the Ducks.

It wasn’t the Cardinal, but the San Diego Toreros that went down to Oregon 81-61 in the third round of the WNIT. The Ducks now advance to the quarterfinals on Sunday and will play either Washington or Kansas State.

For the game, Oregon was 14-of-32 from the three-point line with Ahlise Hurst leading the Ducks with 23 points on seven treys.

The Ducks also played tough defense for the entire 40 minutes and the Toreros never got their offense going. The members from the West Coast Conference shot just 33 percent from the field and 3-of-13 from long range.
