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 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.

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 — [...]

Oregon women’s basketball heads into game against Denver with only seven players, due to injuries

By on Wednesday, Nov. 28 at 7:32 pm.

The Oregon women’s basketball team, still 0-5, is going into their Sunday game against Denver with a total of seven available players, due to a recent flood of injuries. Their record alone is reason to fret, but on top of that they will have to play games shorthanded and hope that increased minutes won’t lead [...]


Paul Westhead’s system looking dull in women’s basketball season opener

By on Sunday, Nov. 11 at 8:40 pm.

Hopefully the Oregon women’s basketball enjoyed their exhibition schedule, because the season opener served as a punch in the mouth and the schedule will only get more difficult. The 78-69 loss to Saint Mary’s wasn’t the concerning part — a mix of wins and losses is to be expected — but rather the way the [...]
