The sophomore scored a career-high 16 points on a perfect 8-of-8 from the field and added three steals in the Ducks 84-35 win over Dixie State.
One of the highlights from the game was this coast-to-coast bucket for Watson, off a steal, that put Oregon up 73-34.
After appearing in 18 of Oregon's 24 games as a true freshman, averaging 2.2 points and 1.3 rebounds per game, Watson is averaging 11 point per game as a sophomore this season.
At Mainland, Watson dominated, averaging a double-double as a senior with 16.9 points and 10.1 rebounds as well as 4.1 assists per game. She led Mainland to a 21-7 record and the Cape-Atlantic League Tournament and South Jersey Group III finals and finished as Mainland's all-time leading scorer for both boys and girls.
