Women’s basketball: Ducks crush Cougars

Jillian Alleyne had 25 points on 10-of-13 shooting and 14 rebounds to tie the school record with her 88th career double-double and Oregon used a dominating start to defeat Washington State 73-48 in a Pac-12 Conference game Friday night in Pullman.

Alleyne, the Pac-12 career leader in double-doubles, tied Bev Smith’s record set before the NCAA sponsored women’s basketball.

Alleyne made all seven of her shots and Jordan Loera made all three of her 3-point attempts in the first half as Oregon made 15 of 21 shots and raced to a 39-14 lead at the break. The Cougars missed all nine of their 3-point attempts and shot just 25 percent with 12 turnovers.

Oregon (16-6, 5-6) made 12 of 20 behind the arc and shot 59.5 percent overall.

Borislava Hristova led the Cougars (12-10, 3-8), who have lost five straight, with 19 points. WSU went 3 for 22 on 3-pointers and shot 31 percent.

(9) Oregon State 61, (24) Washington 53: Senior Jamie Weisner scored 20 points to lead the Beavers (19-3, 10-1) past the Huskies (16-6, 7-4) in a Pac-12 game in Seattle. The win was Oregon State’s ninth straight.

Sydney Weise added 12 points and Ruth Hamblin grabbed nine rebounds and blocked three shots for Oregon State, which hasn’t lost since Jan. 4 at UCLA.

Washington wasn’t able to overcome a 14-point halftime deficit and lost its third home game of the season – all against ranked opponents.

The conference’s leading scorer, Kelsey Plum, recovered from a tough first half. The Washington guard finished with 30 points on 10-of-22 shooting.
