INDIANAPOLIS (AP) --- Ehis Etute and Katie Fiso combined for 32 second-half
points to lead Oregon 73-68 past No. 14 Maryland in the second round of the Big
10 Tournament on Thursday.
After two points from Etute in the first half and none from Fiso, Etute tallied
18 points, five rebounds and three blocks in the second half. Fiso had 14 on
7-of-13 shooting and four assists after halftime.
After a back-and-forth in the final three minutes that had Maryland within two
points, Avary Cain hit a 3-pointer with five seconds to go to seal the result
for the No. 11 seed Ducks (22-11). She had 13 points and two blocks.
Oluchi Okananwa scored 27 points --- including 17 in the second half --- going
10 of 18 from the field and 7 of 8 at the line to go with three steals for the
Terrapins (23-8).
Isimenme Ozzy-Momodu added 10 points as the only other Terrapins player in
double figures.
Neither team lead by double digits, with Maryland's eight-point lead in the
first quarter the largest of the game. It's the second meeting and second time
this season that the Ducks have upset the Terrapins.
