Oregon Women Drop Fourth Straight to Washington State Cougars
It appeared that Oregon had figured it out. In a game where they again fell just short, the stepping stones were there to grow from. Katelyn Loper shot fifty percent from beyond the arc for the first half hitting three of her six shots, better than Washington shot from beyond the arc as a team(1-2). However, it was not enough as the Ducks fell to 1-3 in the Pac-12 and 8-9 overall in Kelly Graves first season as Head Coach.
