COACH'S COMMENTS
"We fought with grit and scrappiness today. To play a PAC-12 opponent [as close as we did] in the second half is really saying something about our growth as a team …. It was a reversal of our last game against Drexel.

"We've got two and a half weeks to rest up. We've got a couple of people that are a little dinged up right now, but we also get two and half weeks to work on ourselves; kind of go back to preseason a little bit, go back to boot camp, work and grind and get better." – ECU Head Coach Amanda Barnes

HOW IT HAPPENED

Five different Oregon players scored in the first 16 minutes as the Ducks built a 6-0 lead with 14:36 to play before halftime.
ECU got its initial goal from Schultes with 10:01 remaining in the opening half.
OU then scored four unanswered before LeGar found the back of the net with 17 seconds left before intermission to cut the Ducks' lead to 10-2 at halftime.
The two teams traded goals during the first six minutes of the second half before Oregon scored the final three goals of the game, the last coming with 14:41 to play.
