Washington Falls In Regular-Season Finale at No. 3 Oregon
March 01, 2020 | Women's Basketball
EUGENE, Ore. --- Alexis Griggsby scored a season-high 11 points and Washington's seniors Mai-Loni Henson had 11 and Amber Melgoza added 10 in their final regular-season game but No. 3 Oregon was too much as the Huskies suffered a 96-52 loss on Sunday afternoon at Matthew Knight Arena.
The Huskies close out the regular season with a 13-16 overall record, finishing ninth in the Pac-12 with a 5-13 conference record. Washington faces the No. 8 seed Utah in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament at 2:00 p.m. Thursday in a rematch of last season's first-round match-up won by the Huskies 64-54.
Washington played well with the Ducks through 14 minutes of the game, but a 17-0 run by Oregon to close out the first half proved to be too much for the Huskies to overcome.
Griggsby had the best game of her season with 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting including a pair of three pointers. She continued to play well in Eugene a year after scoring a career-best 26 points when the teams met last year.
Henson added 11 points, five rebounds and four assists in her final regular-season game. Melgoza scored 10 points—all in the second half, moving into ninth on UW's all-time scoring list with 1,687 career points.
Washington hung tight with Oregon through the first quarter. The Ducks opened with seven-straight points but after trading baskets, the Huskies used a 10-0 run capped by back-to-back three-pointers by Missy Peterson and T.T. Watkins to take a lead at 14-12 at the 3:21 mark. Oregon responded with five quick points, but a Henson three-pointer and tied it back up and the Huskies would trail by just one at 19-18 after one.
Oregon would score the first five points of the second quarter to go up six, but the Huskies answered with a jumper by Alexis Griggsby and a layup from Quay Miller to cut the lead to two at 24-22. The Ducks again rattled off five straight with Mai-Loni Henson making a tough layup to bring Washington within five. But that bucket at the 6:29 mark would be the final basket of the half for the Huskies as Oregon scored 17-striaght to end the half and lead 46-24.
Washington opened the second half strong, scoring a pair of buckets to make it 46-28. The teams went back and forth over the rest of the third quarter, but the Ducks would close the quarter on an 8-0 run to lead 74-40 after three and pull away for the win.
The Huskies head to Las Vegas for the 2020 Pac-12 Tournament beginning on Thursday and running through Sunday at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
