WEATHERWATCH
Vanslooten named Pac-12 'Freshman of the Week' for the fourth time this season

Oregon's Grace VanSlooten #40 attempts to get the rebound over Washington State's Johanna Teder #21 and Charlisse Leger-Walker #5. The No. 21 Oregon Ducks were upset by Washington State Cougars 85-84 at Matthew Knight Arena on Thursday, Jan. 15, 2023, in Eugene, Ore. Oregon's late rally comeback in the fourth quarter of 14 forced overtime but was not enough to win. Oregon's poor shooting of 36.5% on the field and eight missed free throws did not help. Endyia Rogers led the ducks in scoring with 33, one shy of her career-high, and Chance Gray had a career-high of 22 points. Phillipina Keyi missed the fourth quarter and overtime due to concussion protocols. Oregon got outrebounded 50-36. "I told them I'm really proud of the fight we had and the heart we played with, certainly down the stretch in regulation. As poorly as we played at times, we had a chance to win the game; that's all you can ask for. It's disappointing, but we just didn't have enough players have good games tonight," said Oregon Head Coach Kelly Graves. Photo by Kevin Neri
