The Ducks played fairly competitively against the Cardinal and were down four at the half, 8-4, and even closed to 8-5 shortly into the third period; but after that #23 Stanford took Oregon out of the game en route to an 18-8 final score.
The Ducks did well in their free position shooting but spent too much of the game defending their goal, with the Cardinal taking 40 shots on goal to 14 for Oregon.
Two of Oregon’s three losses this season have been against ranked teams (the other being #22 Rutgers).
Oregon (6-34, 0-2 Pac-12) returns to Eugene next Saturday when they host UC Davis (8-3, 1-1 Pac-12).
