EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Te-Hina Paopao scored 22 points and eight rebounds as Oregon beat No. 9 UConn 72-59 on Monday at Matthew Knight Arena.

Sedona Prince added 14 points as Oregon (10-5) won its second game against a top-10 team in three days. The Ducks defeated seventh-ranked Arizona 68-66 in overtime on Saturday.

Freshman Carolina Ducharme scored 22 points while Olivia Nelson-Ododa added 17 points for the Huskies (9-4). The Huskies were without senior guard Christyn Williams, who averages 14.6 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, due to COVID-19 protocols.
