WBB Recap: Ducks defense stops Lumberjacks in their tracks

Oregon began the women’s basketball season on a good note with an 81-48 win over Northern Arizona.

Oregon Ducks women’s basketball fans have to remember it’s just Nov. 6 and this is far from a finished product. The Ducks defense was sound and the offense was good enough, with some flashes of brilliance, as Oregon handed Northern Arizona an 81-48 loss inside Matthew Knight Arena.

Head coach Kelly Graves is working with almost a brand new roster with just four returners off of last year’s squad, so he’ll be mixing and matching lineups for quite a while.

Players such as Chance Gray and Grace VanSlooten will see the majority of the playing time. The only question will be who plays around them for the most amount of time. Freshman Sofia Bell out of Portland and redshirt freshman Sammie Wagner both made an impression as both played well.
