PORTLAND, Ore. --- Senior Julie Spencer had a big night with 25 points and nearly won it for the Pilots in the closing seconds, but the BYU Cougars forced a miss just before the final buzzer to hold on for a 70-69 win over Portland in a West Coast Conference women's basketball game played on Thursday night at the Chiles Center. Maddie Muhlheim also scored in double figures for Portland with 14 points, and Kate Andersen added 12 points.
Spencer, who corralled 12 rebounds for her sixth double-double of the season, received a pass from Haylee Andrews as the Pilots trailed BYU by one with about 10 seconds left to play.
