EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -Eleanor Haring had 15 points and Jessie Shetters recorded nine points and a career-high 16 rebounds to lead Oregon to a 73-46 victory against Portland on Tuesday at McArthur Court.
Tamika Nurse and Jamie Hawkins also scored 11 points each for the Ducks (4-1), who shot 51 percent from the field and scored more than 50 points for the first time in four games.
Laiken Dollente scored 10 points to lead the offensively challenged Pilots (4-3). Portland shot 29.5 percent (8-for-61) from the field overall, including a 3-for-16 performance from the 3-point line.
Oregon took advantage of Portland's poor shooting late in the first half. Up 23-15, the Ducks outscored the Pilots 19-4 in the final 6:50 to lead 42-19 at the break.
Haring got the run going with a jumper, and Shetters and Micaela Cocks added five points each during that stretch. The Pilots, meanwhile, were 1 for 11 from the field during that same time span.
Oregon never led by less than 18 points in the second half, and three times were up by as many as 30. The first came with 8:19 to play on a free throw by Hawkins that made it 67-37. The last came at the 5:40 mark following a layup by Cocks that put the Ducks up 71-41.
