Liz Brenner nominated for SI College Athlete of the Year

By on Thursday, May. 9 at 11:14 am.

When you’re a four-sport athlete at the Division I level, people tend to take notice. First it was the AAU, which made Brenner the only collegiate finalist for the prestigious Sullivan Award — the AAU’s equivalent of the Heisman — and now it’s Sports Illustrated, which has nominated Brenner for Female College Athlete of the [...]


Oregon’s Jillian Alleyne headed to USA Basketball’s U19 Trials

By on Thursday, May. 9 at 11:45 am.

Despite posting one of the worst seasons in the history of Ducks basketball, freshman star Jillian Alleyne found a way to remain positive and shine on the national scene. Finishing with a team high average of 13.0 points, 11.9 rebounds and an impressive 1.3 blocks per game, Alleyne had herself one of the best freshman [...]

By on Friday, Mar. 8 at 1:46 pm.

The Ducks (4-26) will have their last shot at giving their disappointing season some redemption in the Pac-12 Tournament held in Seattle, Wash.

By on Monday, Feb. 18 at 11:13 am.

It has been a brutal season for Oregon women’s basketball. The Ducks (4-22 overall, 2-12 Pac-12) are currently in the middle of a six-game losing streak, losing each game by an average of 22.5 points. With just five games left — and three of those against ranked opponents — Oregon fans are hoping for any [...]


Oregon women’s basketball falls to Washington 97-71, Kristi Kingma sets conference record for three-pointers

By on Sunday, Feb. 17 at 4:35 pm.

It was a historic night at Matthew Knight Arena, but it wasn’t for the home team. Washington was unconscious from the three-point line all night as they finished with 18 three-pointers (team record) and it led to their eventual blowout victory over the Ducks. The Ducks have now dropped six-straight conference games to drop even [...]

Oregon women’s basketball finds a low point in 27-point loss to California

By on Monday, Feb. 4 at 12:19 pm.

The Oregon women’s basketball team, a team that has struggled with injuries and inconsistent play leading to a 3-19 record, lost again Sunday afternoon. The 72-45 loss was surely one of their lowest points of the season. The 27-point margin wasn’t as bad as the 39-point loss against Oklahoma or the 44-point loss against Connecticut, [...]


Oregon women’s basketball falls to No. 4 Stanford at home 86-62

By on Saturday, Feb. 2 at 9:58 am.

The Ducks began the night knowing they were heading into the toughest two game stretch of the season with the No. 4 ranked Stanford Cardinal and the No. 6 ranked California Golden Bears marked on their schedule.

Jillian Alleyne stays consistent, so does Oregon

By on Sunday, Feb. 3 at 10:32 am.

Oregon’s women’s basketball team has been nothing if not consistent this year. Now, most of that consistency has been counter productive, they consistently turn the ball over too often, they consistently shoot less than 30 percent, and they consistently lose games, but there has been one stat that is consistently positive: Jillian Alleyne’s rebounding. Over 20 games into the season [...]

By on Friday, Feb. 1 at 6:57 pm.

The Oregon women’s basketball team, now 3-17 with last weekend’s win over Washington State, will take on their toughest competition since their brutal 95-51 loss to then No. 1 Connecticut this weekend when they play No. 4 Stanford on Friday and No. 6 California on Sunday. Stanford (18-2) may be young, but what they lack in [...]


Injuries on Oregon women’s basketball team tie two players together off court

By on Wednesday, Jan. 30 at 8:17 pm.

It’s hard to remember back to Oregon’s first preseason game. Or its second. In those two late October games, the Oregon women’s basketball team outscored its opponents 223-140 on its way to two dominant victories. At that point, behind the starting back court of Laura Stanulis and Lexi Petersen, the Ducks had a bright season ahead [...]


Women’s basketball fall to Washington 66-53

By on Sunday, Jan. 27 at 4:33 pm.

Paul Westhead’s women’s basketball team picked up their first conference win on Friday night, but they couldn’t make it two in a row Sunday afternoon in Seattle. Freshman Jillian Alleyne again led both squads in rebounding with 14, but the Huskies’ starting lineup was strong enough to overcome a rough night for Washington’s bench — [...]
