PORTLAND — Despite some tense moments in the second half, the Oregon women's basketball never trailed Sunday and bounced back from its first loss with an 86-78 win over Michigan State to close out the Phil Knight Invitational at Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Four Ducks scored in double figures, led by Endyia Rogers with 19 points, who hit back-to-back three-pointers after the Spartans rallied to a 68-68 tie early in the fourth quarter. That sparked a game-clinching 13-2 run by the UO women, who also got career highs of 15 points and 16 rebounds from Phillipina Kyei, 14 points with six assists by Te-Hina Paopao and 12 points with seven rebounds from Grace VanSlooten.
