EUGENE, Ore. – The Bushnell women's basketball team got a taste of the Big 12 on Tuesday, opening up their preseason with an Exhibition game against the University of Oregon at Matthew Knight Arena. The Ducks claimed a 120-35 victory in the contest.
 
The Ducks, who are currently receiving votes in the NCAA Division I Associated Press Pre-Season Poll, let their defense do the talking on Tuesday, forcing 36 turnovers and holding the Beacons to 25% field goal shooting.
 
The Beacons were led on offense by Jersey McGehee, who scored 12 points and hit a trio of three-pointers. Dayvis Key added nine points along with a team-high seven rebounds.
 
Brooklyn Haywood led Oregon with 22 points as she was a perfect 6-for-6 from outside and shot 80% overall. Five other players were in double-figures as the Ducks relied on their bench as every player received between 16-21 minutes of playing time.
 
UP NEXT: The Beacons will head to Arizona next week for their official start to the 2026-2027 season against a pair of NAIA opponents from the Great Southwest Athletic Conference. On Wednesday October 28 they visit Benedictine Mesa at 7:00 pm and then face Park-Gilbert on Thursday, October 29 at 3:00 pm. Last season BenU went 14-10 and took fourth-place in the GSAC. Park-Gilbert was 10-15 and finished seventh.
