After coming off their biggest conference win of the season, the Stanford Cardinal fell to the Oregon Ducks 62-55 on Sunday. The win for the Ducks marks the end of an 18-game losing streak the Ducks had with Stanford, with their last win being in December of 2004.
Stanford had a one-point lead at the half, but it was all Oregon in the second. The Ducks took control with a 15-2 run, as the Cardinal went cold. The poor shooting for Stanford continued, as they went three of ten in a span lasting almost seven minutes.
Jillian Alleyne led the way for Oregon with 22 points. She also brought down 12 rebounds, for her 27th double-double of the year, leading the NCAA in that category. Lexi Peterson and Amanda Delgado were the other Ducks getting into double digits, with 11 and 10 respectively.
Lili Thompson led the Cardinal in scoring with 14 points, but while doing so only shot 6 of 14. Amber Orrange closely followed with 13 points, but also shot extremely poor 6 of 15. Kaylee Johnson led the team in rebounds with 11.
The Cardinal close out the season with a 21-9 record and 13-5 in conference, good enough to finish third in the Pac-12. They will have a first round bye in the Pac-12 tournament
