Betty Ann Boeving scored 20 points, leading three Oregon players in double figures, as the Ducks defeated Gonzaga 83-45 on Tuesday night in a nonconference women’s basketball game in Eugene, Ore.

Oregon (8-2) jumped out to a 20-0 advantage, holding Gonzaga scoreless for almost the first 7 minutes of the game, on its way to a 40-13 halftime lead.

The Ducks led by as many 44 points late in the second half with Arianne Boyer adding 15 points and a game-high 12 rebounds.

Gonzaga (1-10), which dropped its eighth consecutive game, was led by Joy Pauley’s 12 points.
