Once again, there is excitement around the Oregon women's basketball program after the Ducks defeated the Washington Huskies in a rivalry matchup for the books. Following the one-point victory, Oregon's Deja Kelly, Katie Fiso, and Elisa Mevius ran onto the court, holding the 'dubs down' gesture to celebrate.
Now, the Ducks are heading back east to take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers in hopes that the momentum from their previous win can carry them through the rest of their conference matchups.

"I'm just really proud of the team, that was a great win," Oregon head coach Kelly Graves said after the Washington game. "I don't think we played super well but our kids seem to believe when we're in a close game in the fourth quarter and down the stretch. They believe, and that goes a long way."
