Stanford in the Pac-12 tour-
nament title game Sunday
night.
Ruthy Hebard added 24
points, while Minyon Moore
had 21 for the Ducks, who
fi nished the game hitting 31
of 55 (56.4%) from the fl oor.
Oregon fi nished 10 for 19
(52.6%) from 3-point range.
“We were here last year,
and we knew what it was
like to lose,” said Ionescu,
who was named the tourna-
ment’s MVP. “This is one of
the nets we wanted to cut
down this year.”
The Ducks and Cardi-
nal were playing for the
tournament championship
for a third consecutive year.
Stanford won last year’s
championship and Oregon
won in 2018.
In the rubber match, Or-
egon held Stanford to 34.5%
(19 of 55) from the fl oor.
Kiana Williams scored 21
points to lead Stanford (27-6)
thletics and Ashten Prechtel had 14.

Oregon shook off a slug-
gish fi rst quarter and used
a stifl ing defense to thwart
most of Stanford’s efforts,
while fueling their offense at
the other end.
“You get one shot, and
they’re going the other way
pretty fast,” said Stanford
coach Tara VanDerveer, who
remains fi ve victories shy of
passing Pat Summitt (1,098)
as the winningest coach in
women’s college basketball
history. “I think the consen-
sus number one player in
the country running their
offense, and they have got
lights-out shooters.”
Stanford, in the Pac 12
championship for a 17th
time, did its best to quiet the
crowd early.
The Cardinal frustrated
the high-powered Ducks
while keeping Ionescu score-
less and took a 17-14 lead af-
ter the fi rst quarter despite
shooting 5 of 14 (35.7%) from
the fl oor. Williams did most
of the damage for Stanford,
scoring 11 points on 3-of-5
shooting — all from 3-point

range — plus a couple from

Then the Ducks woke up.
The nation’s most effi cient
offense shot 8 of 12, includ-
ing 4 of 6 from 3-point range,
in the second quarter to
outscore the Ducks 29-9.
While Ionescu came to
life, it was the 5-foot-8 Moore
who ignited the Ducks with
her tenacious play at both
ends. Whether she was chal-
lenging Williams on defense,
battling for rebounds against
6-1 Francesca Belibi and
6-3 Alyssa Jerome, creating
offense for her teammates or
making jumpers, she contin-
ued to fuel Oregon’s fi re.
“Your great players fi nd a
way to step up in the biggest
moments,” Oregon coach
Kelly Graves said. “Minyon,
there have been games when
she’s struggled. But she’s
got the heart of a champion,
and on the biggest night, on
the biggest stage, she was
able to step up her game,
and I thought it changed the
whole game.”

early in the second quarter,
the Ducks closed the half on
a 21-4 run, with Moore scor-
ing nine of the points, while
adding an assist, rebound
and steal to her stat sheet.
“When she plays that hard
we want to play that hard
for her as well,” Ionescu said.
“I think she set the tone
defensively, which fueled her
offense and our offense as
well.”
The Ducks (31-2) will as-

Joseph’s Camille Crenshaw, right, dumps a pass off to a teammate during the fi rst
half of Saturday’s third-place game in Baker City against Perrydale.
JOSEPH

we go, we’re getting into the
rhythm,’” the senior, who had
seven points in the second
half, said. “It’s funny, because
I always stand under the
basket when she shoots her
uled 3s, always watch it go in, and
it’s super motivational.”
Perrydale, though, had a
ints response to every run, and at
one point midway through
the fourth extended the lead
to 48-25 on a Kaylee Rosen-
balm putback.
Joseph made one fi nal
rally when Crenshaw hit a
3-pointer and Albee scored
seven in row — including a
23-foot 3-pointer and a steal,
layup and free throw — to
get the defi cit to 13 with 2:36
left, but the Eagles got no
closer.
Joseph (22-8 overall) shot
42% for the contest, but was
hurt by allowing 15 offensive
rebounds by Perrydale and
turning the ball over 23 times.
Even with back-to-back
losses to end the season that
dropped Joseph to fi fth, its
one that will be remembered
because of the resilience the
team showed, especially in
the wake of the mid-January
fi re that damaged its gym-
nasium.
“We had a lot of adversity
this year, had to overcome a
lot, so even just being here
is a really big deal for us,”
Crenshaw said.
