FRISCO, Texas (Interstat) — The undefeated and No. 5-ranked Oregon Ducks (6-0) will face their toughest test of the young season when they host the Saint Mary’s Gaels (5-1) in a women’s NCAA basketball game Tuesday at Dr Pepper Arena.

Oregon enters the contest riding a dominant start, having won each of its six games by an average of 36.2 points. The Ducks are coming off a 70-34 rout of Utah State on Sunday, where Katie Fiso (13 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists), Mia Jacobs (11 points, 7 rebounds) and Sarah Rambus (13 points, 4 rebounds) led a balanced offensive attack.

Saint Mary’s brings a strong record of its own, with its only blemish a 62-70 road loss to California last Thursday. In that defeat, Edie Clarke posted a team-high 8 rebounds to go with 4 assists, while Abigail Shoff scored 10 points. The Gaels have built their record on a stout defense, holding four opponents under 50 points this season.

The neutral-site game in Texas serves as a major non-conference challenge for both programs. Oregon’s high-powered offense, which has scored at least 80 points in four games, will be pitted against a disciplined Saint Mary’s defense that has proven difficult to break down. The matchup will be a key indicator of each team’s potential before conference play begins.
