First Quarter

The game began with Oregon setting a strong tone defensively. The Ducks' aggressive play resulted in 16 steals throughout the game, disrupting Portland's offensive flow early on. Mia Jacobs led the charge for Oregon with her impressive rebounding and scoring ability, contributing significantly to her team's early lead.

Second Quarter

As the second quarter unfolded, Oregon continued to build on their momentum. Avary Cain was instrumental during this period, showcasing her shooting accuracy by hitting crucial three-pointers that extended the Ducks' lead. By halftime, Oregon had amassed a substantial advantage over Portland.

Third Quarter

In what proved to be a pivotal third quarter for both teams, Sammie Wagner stepped up for Oregon with key defensive plays and assists that kept Portland at bay. The Pilots attempted a comeback by scoring 24 points in this quarter alone but were unable to close the gap due to persistent turnovers caused by Oregon's defense.

Fourth Quarter

The final quarter saw both teams battling hard; however, it was clear that Oregon's earlier efforts had secured them an unassailable lead. Despite some late-game pressure from Portland’s fast breaks and points off turnovers totaling 21 fast break points overall – it wasn’t enough as they fell short against an organized Duck squad who maintained composure till endgame buzzer sounded off marking full-time result favoring home side yet again!
