Duck Defense Dominates in Portland, Ducks 85 - Pilots 52

Continuing a dominant stretch of play that goes back to last season, the Oregon Women’s Basketball team has earned their 21st consecutive victory, which ties a program best set during the 1978-79 season.

Both teams were coming off of victories over Seattle U, though Oregon’s 116-to-51 victory was a tad more dominant than Portland’s 82-to-70 victory. Oregon’s starting lineup was the same as last game’s outside of a switch from Jaz Shelley to Taylor Chavez. Unfortunately for the Pilots, they were missing junior guard Haylee Andrews due to concussion.

The Ducks led comfortably for most of the game, however, due to Portland’s successful defensive pressure in the first half of the game, this young Oregon squad found a much tougher challenge in Portland than they did against Seattle U on Saturday.
