SAN ANTONIO — A stunning display of defense Monday fueled the Oregon women's basketball team to a 67-47 victory over South Dakota in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at the Alamodome.
The Ducks (14-8) held the Coyotes without a field goal for a stretch of 14:44 that began midway through the first quarter and extended until the opening moments of the second half, during which South Dakota missed 25 straight field-goal attempts. The sixth-seeded UO women outscored South Dakota 9-1 in the second quarter, and moved on to face No. 3 seed Georgia on Wednesday (noon, ESPN2).
