The Oregon women’s basketball team completed a disappointing trip to Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon as host #9 USC carried the day 68-54. The loss is the third straight for the Ducks in conference play, all games played away from Eugene. The Trojans were barely clinging to the lead at the beginning of the 4th quarter when Grace VanSlooten scored 5 consecutive points to close the margin to 50-49. A USC three pointer extended the lead, but VanSlooten was able to draw a foul and sink a free throw to close within one possession again. Unfortunately for Oregon, a turnover on their next possession led to a USC layup followed by a 3 point dagger.
