Oregon uses 22-2 run, 6 3-pointers to sink Toreros; Kasey Neubert leads USD with 14 points, 13 rebounds
Cindy Fisher knew her University of San Diego women’s basketball team would have its hands full against host Oregon in the Women’s NIT Super 16.
And one that can shoot. The Ducks bombed away behind the 3-point line to defeat the Toreros 81-61 Thursday night at Matthew Knight Arena. USD came into the game giving up an average of just 61.8 points.“Their guard play is one of the best in the Pac 12,” she said. Oregon advances to the WNIT Great Eight where it will face the winner of today’s Kansas State-Washington game. USD was making its eighth appearance in the WNIT during Fisher’s 17-year run as head coach. The Toreros finished 19-14.
The Ducks’ biggest first-half lead was 31-14. USD would creep to within nine early in the third quarter, but Oregon’s outside shooting was too much to overcome.
