Ducks Tame Wildcats 87-73
Rick Morgan
Oregon made six of their first seven three point attempts to pounce early on the Arizona Wildcats on their way to a 87-73 win Thursday night at Matthew Knight Arena.
Five Ducks posted double figures in the scoring column, led by Lexi Petersen's 17 points. Jasmin Holliday and Ariel Thomas each hit for 16, Jordan Loera was good for a dozen and Danielle Love for 11 as the Ducks led wire to wire in earning their second conference win.
"It was good to get a win," said head coach Paul Westhead. "Especially coming back home. The difference in the second half was the poise of Lexi Petersen who took over the game for us. She did a great job for us."
Petersen knocked down four of eight from the floor and nine of ten from the line filling in for point guard Nia Jackson. Jackson's chronic knee condition limited the senior point to 12 minutes of playing time, necessitating the shift from the three spot to the point for Petersen.
