Oregon Women Roll Through Portland
The sixth-ranked Oregon women’s basketball team rolled past Portland 85 to 59 Thursday afternoon at Matthew Knight Arena, in front of a packed house of school kids. Mia Jacobs led the Ducks with 21 points and 10 rebounds for her second straight double-double, while Katie Fiso finished just one rebound shy of a triple-double with 10 points, 11 assists, and nine boards. The highlight came late in the third quarter when Jacobs completed a three-point play for Oregon’s 67th point, sparking a loud celebration tied to the viral “six-seven” trend among the students in attendance. Oregon forced 24 turnovers and shot nearly 45 percent from the field. The Ducks face Stanford on Sunday in San Francisco.
