The Ducks exploited the press in their next two possessions, getting easy inside baskets from Bills and Car olyn Ganes. With a 41-27 lead, the Ducks set tled down just in time for the Bruins to speed things up. "We went into it with about 15 minutes left in the half," UCLA head coach Kathy Olivier said. "We were trying to find a spark." What UCLA found was Oregon struggling under the full-court pres sure. The Bruins picked off passes at half-court, making a 23-5 run that gave them a 50-46 lead with 7:31 re maining. The Ducks worked the UCLA lead down to a one-possession game four times in the final seven minutes, but couldn't make defensive stops and continued to play catch-up. Wagner, who hit four three-point ers in the game, had a green light to shoot in the final 55.9 seconds with Oregon down 60-57. The sophomore guard missed three attempts from be hind the line during that span. "We were just trying to get a good shot up," Wagner said. "1 forced it a little bit.

Fresh man Amanda Livingston led the 23-5 run, scoring eight of her nine points during the five-minute span. "The pressure didn't surprise us," Smith said. "We just stopped. We be came hesitant. The rest is the story of the game. It was a game that was defi nitely in our hands to win." The Ducks have lost five straight games dating back to a 72-52 loss to George Washington on Dec. 18. It's the first time since the 1995-1996 sea son and the fourth time in Pacific-10 Conference history that Oregon has started conference play 0-4. After a 5-0 home start, the Ducks have lost two consecutive home games for the first time in 11 seasons. "It seems to be that kind of mo ment for us where we need the ball to fall the right way, and that could be the difference between a loss and a win," Smith said. "We can't wait for that. We have to do other things a lot better so that we're not hoping for that ball to fall the right way." Contact the senior sports reporter at mindirice@dailyemerald.com.
