After their worst loss of the season against Stanford, the Oregon Ducks picked up a road win against a feisty Washington team.

The Oregon Ducks opened the game with a 7-0 run, but the worst ranked team in the Pac-12 was not about to give up the fight. Washington took the lead entering the second quarter, but the Oregon Ducks had more experience in these types of games. The Ducks relied on Ruthy Hebard and she got the job done to the tune of a double-double.

Hebard scored a career-high 30 points with 14 rebounds. She was 14 of 16 from the floor as Oregon pulled away for a 76-63 win over the Washington Huskies. The Oregon Bench was pretty much non-existent all night with just 17 points. Oregon shot 52 percent for the game, which is about their season average.

Oregon had one of their lowest three-point shooting games of the season hitting just two in the first half and ending the game 5 for 22 at 23 percent. A win is a win, regardless of how ugly it seems and Oregon will take it after a rough showing against the Stanford Cardinal. The Ducks maintain their hold on first place in the Pac-12 with the Victory even if it is a tie with Stanford and UCLA.

Maite Cazorla played a key role on Offense with eight points and 11 assists vs Washington. It was another game where Kelly Graves used every available player. Despite winning, Oregon finished the game with turnovers and the Huskies finished with a 16-1 run.
