The Oregon Ducks had a big win on Saturday night, defeating the Cal Baptist Lancers 76-55. The Ducks were led by two impressive performances from Eugene Oquendo and Payton Shelstad.
Oquendo, a senior guard, was the star of the night, scoring a game-high 24 points on 8-of-15 shooting. He also added four rebounds, four assists, and two steals in the victory. Oquendo was especially impressive in the second half, scoring 14 points and helping the Ducks pull away from the Lancers.
Shelstad, a freshman forward, also had a great game for Oregon. He scored 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds. He also had two assists and two blocks in the win.
The Ducks were able to take control of the game in the second half, outscoring the Lancers 44-25. Oregon shot an impressive 53.8 percent from the field and held Cal Baptist to just 37.7 percent shooting.
The Ducks have now won three straight games and are looking like a team that could make some noise in the Pac-12 this season. With Oquendo and Shelstad leading the way, Oregon looks poised to make a run at the conference title.
It was an impressive win for Oregon, and they will look to build on this momentum as they head into conference play. If Oquendo and Shelstad can continue to play at a high level, the Ducks could be a force to be reckoned with in the Pac-12 this season.
