LOS ANGELES (AP) - Maylana Martin's three-point play with 1:26 remaining completed a late rally that carried No. 10 UCLA to a 76-72 victory over Oregon on Sunday.
The Ducks led 67-60 with 4:44 remaining, but the Bruins scored 10 of the next 12 points to take a 70-69 lead with 1:52 left on two free throws by LaCresha Flannigan.
Then, playing with four fouls throughout most of the second half, Martin made a layup, was fouled and added a free throw to give UCLA a 73-69 lead. With 35 seconds left, Flannigan stole a pass and made a layup.
The victory gave UCLA (12-4, 4-0) sole possession of first place in the Pacific-10 Conference. The defeat snapped a six-game winning streak for the Ducks (12-3, 3-1).
Janae Hubbard scored 16 points to lead the Bruins to their fifth straight victory. Martin had 15 points and 11 rebounds, while Flannigan finished with 12 points.
Oregon's Natasha O'Brien led all scorers with 21 points, including three 3-pointers. Shaquala Williams added 15 points and Nicole Strange scored 11.
Martin scored 11 of her points in the first half as the Bruins took a 35-25 lead with 3:27 remaining. Oregon scored the last nine points of the half, with O'Brien scoring seven.
