The Oregon Ducks snapped a two-game losing streak with a road win at Arizona.

The road is not always an easy place to play in the Pac-12. For the Oregon Women’s Basketball team a trip to Arizona over the years has not always come at the best time. 2016 would be different. It would be a complete game for the Ducks over the Wildcats. Oregon led most of the way and Ruthy Hebard was able to get inside

Hebard was 9 for 10 from the field and led the team with 22 points pushing four players in double figures. Sabrina Ionescu struggled from the field and had just 5 points, but good players find ways to make plays. Hebard had a double-double. The Freshman had a team-high 7 assists. Oregon had 6 steals and 18 assists as a team in the 79-65 win over the Arizona Wildcats.

Maite Cazorla is beginning to show better instincts coming off a foot injury. She had 12 points. Lexi Bando had 16 points in the win, but was just 2 for 8 from beyond the arc.

Wins at this point in the season build confidence, especially road games. The goal is to get toward the Top 6 of the Pac-12 Standings, and winnable games are to be built on. The second game this weekend is another winnable contest against the Arizona State Sundevils.
