No. 5 Oregon uses second-half surge to send UW women to fifth loss in a row

The Huskies make only one field goal in the third quarter as the Ducks pull away and move into first place atop the Pac-12.

There were a few feel-good moments for Washington on Sunday afternoon, and the first came on the game’s opening possession.

On a designed play, junior guard Amber Melgoza pulled off one of her patented pull-up jump shots for the game’s first basket, pushing her over the 1,000-point plateau in her UW women’s basketball career.

Another moment: There was Montana Hagstrom, a former walk-on guard making a rare on-court appearance, scoring the first field-goal of her Husky career, a 3-pointer from the top of the key late in the first quarter.
