The Oregon women's basketball team was its
own worst enemy on Thursday night, committing
26 tumovors en route to losing to No. 24 DoPaul
65-62 at MacArthur Court.
The Ducks committed 15 turnovers in tho first
half and fell behind 32-25 at halftime. Oregon's
26 tumovors wore twice as many os the Rluo De
mons committed.
"The turnovers that bother mo am tho unforced
ones,” Oregon head coach lilwin Heiny said.
"Those happen when wo try to do too much."
Despite the turnovers, the Ducks had a chance
to send tho game Into overtime but Missy Stow
ell's three-point attempt hit the back of the rim as
time expired.
“I thought I saw tho hoop good,” Stowoll said.
"I intended to dish the ball off but there wore
only three seconds loft so I took the shot."
Tho Ducks got off to a quick start, lumping
ahead 7-0 after a Peggy Swadenor three-pointer
with 17:51 remaining in tho first half, but the
Blue Demons went on a 21-6 run to dose out the
half and took a seven point load at halftime. The
Ducks hit only one field goal during tho final 11
minutes of the first half.
DePaul looked like it might blow out the Ducks
eurly in tho second half when they went on an 6-0
run to pull ahead 42-2B with 14:18 left in the
game. Oregon responded with a 17-5 spurt to cut
the lead to 47-45, but were never able to regain
tho lead.
The Ducks trailed 52-45 when Stowell hit con
secutive three-pointers and an acrobatic reverse
layup to got the Ducks back within one at 52-51
with 3:58 remaining. DoPa ill's Sue Wolonc hit
three jump shots down tho stretch to keep the
Blue Demons ahead, but Oregon's Jean Mareo Lil
lard made three shots in tho post to keep tho
Ducks in the game.
After a Lillurd bank shot cut the Do Paul loud to
62-60, DePaul’s Tummy Williams made the big
gest shot of tho game when she drained a three
