Los Angeles, Calif. - Behind the three-point shooting of Chelsea Wagner and a double-double from Andrea Bills (13 points, 11 rebounds), Oregon defeated UCLA, 61-55, in front of 1,084 in Pauley Pavilion.
Oregon (11-9, 3-7 in the Pac-10) led by as much as 13 points in the first half and held a 29-18 advantage at the half after the Bruins shot a season-low 25% (8-32) in the half. UCLA (9-10, 4-6) came back at the start of the second half and scored the first seven points to close to within four, 29-25, at the 17:44 mark. However, Oregon regained control by scoring eight unanswered points of its own to go back up, 37-25 at 16:02. Wagner scored six of those points on back-to-back three-pointers and continued to shoot well from beyond the arc, hitting two more threes to increase Oregon's lead to 47-31. UCLA never got closer than the final margin of six points after a Lisa Willis three-pointer with three seconds to play.
Willis led UCLA with 20 points, 18 coming in the second half. Freshman Noelle Quinn had her second career double-double with 11 points and a career-high 15 rebounds, seven of those boards coming on the offensive end.
Wagner led Oregon with 17 points and was joined by Bills (13 points) and Eleanor Haring (11 points) in double figures. Point guard Corrie Mizusawa recorded 10 assists.
