SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Jenna Johnson scored 20 points on 9-of-13 shooting, Maty Wilke hit five 3-pointers and finished with 17 points and No. 20 Utah beat Oregon 70-48 Sunday.

Alissa Pili, who had two points on 1-of-7 shooting in the first half, scored 14 of her 16 in the second half for Utah (18-7, 8-5 Pac-12).

The Utes led by as many as 14 points late in the first half but Kennedy Basham and Grace Vanslooten each scored four points in a 10-1 run that cut the Ducks’ deficit to 41-37 with 4 minutes left in the third quarter. Pili answered with a jumper and then a 3-pointer and Wilke followed with a pair from behind the arc as Utah scored 11 of the final 15 third-quarter points to make it 52-41. The Utes opened the fourth with a 16-3 run and Oregon trailed by 20-plus for the final 6 1/2 minutes.

Phillipina Kyei made 7 of 9 from the field and led the Ducks with 15 points and 12 rebounds and Vanslooten scored 14 on 6-of-12 shooting. The rest of the team shot 26.9% (7 of 26).

Oregon (11-14, 2-10) has lost each of its last seven games, six of which were against ranked opponents.

Oregon leads the all-time series with the Utes 24-13, though Utah has won the four games.

Oregon plays host to No. 10 Southern California on Friday. Utah wraps up a three-game home stand Friday against No. 4 Colorado.
