No. 25 Oregon women defeat Portland St. 90-46
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Ruthy Hebard had 28 points and 17 rebounds for her fourth double-double of the season and No. 25 Oregon defeated Portland State 90-46 on Saturday.
Hebard finished 12 of 13 from the field. Lexi Bando added 15 points for the Ducks (9-2), who were missing starting guard Sabrina Ionescu because of a thumb injury.
Oregon led by as many as 15 points in the first quarter, but Portland State closed to within 28-22 in the second on Ashley Torres’ layup and free throw. The Ducks ended the half on a 14-0 run to lead 44-24 at the break.
Courtney West had nine points to lead Portland State (4-4), which was coming off back-to-back home wins over UC Irvine and Cal State Fullerton.
The Ducks popped into the AP Top 25 this past week for the first time since the 2003-04 season. The ranking came before the Ducks lost 83-67 at Ole Miss on Wednesday.
