03/08/09 | Women's Basketball
EUGENE, Ore. - Oregon will head to the Pac-10 Tournament as the seventh seed after a 94-64 loss to USC on Saturday afternoon at Mac Court.
The Ducks (9-20, 5-13) will play Washington, the tournament's 10th seed, at 6 p.m. on Thursday inside the Galen Center.
USC (15-14, 9-9) knocked down 11 three-pointers and had four players finish in double figures in Saturday's win, scoring the most points against Oregon since Washington defeated the Ducks, 95-50, on Jan. 15, 2004.
Heather Oliver led the Women of Troy with 16, while Brynn Cameron added 15 with a game-high four assists. Camille LeNoir chipped in 13 for USC, and Briana Gilbreath added 12.
Oregon was led by junior guard Taylor Lilley's 14 points on a 5-of-8 shooting performance. The Newhall, Calif., native drained four buckets from beyond the arc and also got to five rebounds.
Freshman Jasmin Holliday added 13 points for the Ducks, shooting 5-of-6 from the floor.
The Ducks have now lost five in a row and nine of their last 10.
USC shot 57.4 percent from the floor for the game, the highest percentage of an Oregon opponent this year.
The Ducks shot 34.5 from the floor and turned the ball over 22 times in the game.
USC headed to the locker room ahead 47-30 at halftime.
The Ducks led by as many as six, 13-7, in the first half, but USC responded with a 16-8 run that spanned five minutes to take the lead for good, 23-21, with 7:44 remaining.
USC continued to build its lead on a 16-3 run as the Women of Troy took a 15-point, 39-24, advantage with 3:48 left until the break.
Lilley led Oregon in the first half with nine points and three assists, with all of her field goals coming from behind the arc.
Cameron led USC with 12 points and three assists, while LeNoir chipped in 10 in the first half.
