No. 3 Oregon Outdoes USC Women In Eugene
February 24, 2019 | Women's Basketball, Features
Mariya Moore scores 30 road points for USC in a 96-78 loss to the host Ducks.
EUGENE, ORE. — The USC women's basketball team put up a fight against No. 3 Oregon on the Ducks' home floor but could not find an answer for Oregon's 14 threes landed in the game. Thanks to that hot-handed effort from beyond the arc, Oregon was able to maneuver to a final 96-78 win over the visiting Trojans in Eugene. USC goes to 15-12 overall and to 5-11 in Pac-12 play with the road loss. Oregon improves to 25-3, 14-2.
It was a shootout in the first frame as the lead changed hands nine times in the first 10 minutes. The Trojans hit a cool patch in the next 10, though, and the Ducks moved into the lead with a 9-0 rally. By the close of the first half, it was a four-point game with Oregon shooting 41.9 percent from the floor and USC at 43.3 percent. The Ducks were getting to the line easier, though, going 10-of-12 from the stripe to USC's 5-of-6 outing as the hosts gripped a 40-36 lead at the break. Oregon would drop seven 3-pointers in the third quarter to build out a 71-53 lead entering the fourth. The Trojans and Ducks stayed even in the fourth, but the Ducks had done their damage from 3-point range in finishing up with 14 threes. USC hit nine 3-pointers, and wound up trailing the Ducks on the boards 39-23. Oregon finished up shooting 52.5 percent from the floor to USC's 44.1 percent.
The Trojans received 30 points from Mariya Moore — her second 30-point outing as a Trojan — along with 19 from Aliyah Mazyck and 11 from Minyon Moore. Mariya Moore also led on the boards with six rebound to go with six assists. Oregon's hot day included 32 points from Erin Boley, who hit eight 3-pointers. Sabrina Ionescu had a triple-double for the Ducks with 13 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds. Oregon also got 13 points from Ruthy Hebard and 12 from Satou Sabally.
Mariya Moore served up the USC's first eight points of the day in helping the Trojans to an early 8-6 advantage. Oregon would edge back ahead a minute later, but Aliyah Mazyck stepped in and delivered a take and a three to bump USC on top 15-13 at 6:05> The lead would trade hands four more times in the first, as the Trojans countered a string of Oregon trips to the line with relentless work by Asiah Jones in the paint. Her sixth points of the day were followed by a go-ahead 3-pointer from freshmen Deswiree Caldwell, taking USC to a 27-25 lead at the close of the first. Oregon opened up the next frame with a 9-0 run to work ahead 34-27 while the Trojans struggled to get a bucket to fall. The Ducks would mount a 10-point lead before USC scored from the floor, but once the ice was broken the Trojans made the most of it. Minyon Moore delivered the breakthrough 3-pointer and then scored again before finding Shalexxus Aaron for a three-point play that wrapped the first half with USC back in reach, down 40-36 to the Ducks at the break.
While USC came up empty for another early stretch, Oregon built out a 50-36 lead with a 10-0 to open the third. Mariya Moore broke USC's silence with a jumper at 7:25, and USC would get back-to-back three-point plays from Minyon Moore and Mazyck soon after to get a lift for the Trojans, making it 52-44. The Ducks unleashed some untimely threes next, planting their third, fourth and fifth 3-pointers to craft a 65-48 lead before the Trojans knocked down their first three of the frame — from Mariya Moore. Two more Oregon 3-pointers would come in the last minute of the third, and USC was suddenly in a 71-53 hole. The Trojans would keep pace with the Ducks in the next 10 minutes, but USC could not carve down the deficit. Mariya Moore added 10 points in the fourth to bulk up her final tally to 30, but the Trojans wound up down 96-78 by the final buzzer.
USC now returns home for its final regular-season stand. The Trojans will host Colorado in a 7 p.m. matchup on Friday (March 1) before turning to Senior Day on Sunday (March 3). USC will honor its four seniors — Marguerite Effa, Aliyah Mazyck, Mariya Moore and Cheyanne Wallace — that day while also wrapping the regular season with a 12 p.m. clash with Utah at Galen Center.
