Freshmen Lead Oregon Women To Upset Of Maryland

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Sabrina Ionescu led five Oregon players in double figures with 21 points and the 10th-seeded Ducks continued their improbable run through the NCAA Tournament with a 77-63 upset win over third-seeded Maryland. Fellow freshman Ruthy Hebard added 16 points for the Ducks (23-13), who beat second-seeded Duke in the second round and advance to the first regional final in program history. Brionna Jones and Shatori Walker-Kimbrough each had 16 points for Maryland, which finishes the season at 32-3. The Maryland offense, which averages more than 90 points a game to lead the nation, was held to its lowest point total this season Oregon coach Kelly Graves said before the game that his young team that starts three freshmen may not know it is not supposed to be winning.
