EUGENE, Ore. – The Hoosiers led by as many as 10 but couldn't hang on late as it fell 54-47 to Oregon on Friday night at Matthew Knight Arena.

KEY MOMENTS

Indiana (12-7, 4-4 B1G) scored on first two possessions, but offense was hard to come by for either team to open the game. Both went through lengthy scoring droughts as Striplin, who scored six in the quarter, put Indiana on top 11-8 as she finished at the rim with 1:17 left in the frame.
Back-to-back 3-pointers gave Oregon (15-5, 6-3 B1G) a brief lead midway through the second quarter as Moore-McNeil countered with a deep triple of her own to give Indiana a 19-18 lead at the media timeout.
The lead grew to as many as five for IU with 2:54 to play but the Ducks responded with back-to-back buckets. Junior guard Yarden Garzon drained the right side 10-footer right before the half, which gave her team a 25-22 lead.
A Parrish 3-pointer as part of a 7-0 run gave the Hoosiers a 10-point edge, 32-22, with 5:36 left in the third quarter. From that point, however, Indiana was outscored 32-15 the rest of the way.
IU were held to just one field goal in the final 5:09 of play as the Ducks mounted their comeback.

NOTABLE

Striplin recorded her seventh game in double figures with 14 points.
Parrish also ended the night in double figures with 10 points.
Garzon narrowly missed a double-double with eight points and a season-high 10 rebounds.
Indiana is now 0-3 in the series with the Ducks and 0-1 in its first ever Big Ten meeting.
The Hoosiers had 15 assists on the night with Moore-McNeil adding four.

UP NEXT
The Hoosiers will remain in the Pacific Northwest as they take on Washington on Monday night at Alaska Airlines Arena.
