UCLA brought out the press in re
sponse to a 15-2 run that opened the
second half for Oregon. Guard Kedzie
Gunderson led the Ducks with six
points in their run.
A three-pointer by Chelsea Wagner
gave Oregon a 10-point lead with
14:44 remaining in the game. On
Oregon's next possession, the Bruins'
press caught the Ducks off-guard.
Oregon turned the ball over after not
in-bounding the ball in five seconds.
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. I definitely had the green
light to go ahead and shoot it, but I

got a little excited."
Wagner led the Ducks with a sea
son-high 12 points, while Bills added
10 points and led Oregon with nine
rebounds. The Ducks picked things
up in the second half, shooting 45.2
percent from the field after hitting
33.3 percent in the first half.
For the Bruins, Gennifer Arranaga
scored 22 points off the bench with
13 coming in the second half. 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."
