SPOKANE, WASH. - Down by 15 points at halftime, the Central Michigan women's basketball team came out firing in the third quarter Saturday against Oregon in the third round of the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament.
Sophomore guard Presley Hudson, who closed the first half with a 3-pointer, opened the second with another. Then she fed senior forward Tinara Moore for a basket. Hudson scored on the next trip down the floor.
The problem: Oregon answered nearly every basket with one of its own.
When senior guard Cassie Breen hit back-to-back 3-pointers late in the quarter, the Chippewas pulled to within nine points at 55-46.
