EUGENE, Ore. – UCLA (8-12, 4-5) surrendered another halftime lead to lose its first Pac-12 road game in five outings as Jillian Alleyne scored the game-winning basket with 1.4 seconds left to give Oregon (9-11, 2-7) a season sweep of the Bruins, 67-65 at Matthew Knight Arena on Saturday afternoon. It was Oregon's only lead of the game.
UCLA scored the first four points of the contest and led the entire first half, leading by 11 points (42-31) with 2:48 to go on a jumper by freshman Jordin Canada. The Bruins maintained a nine-point advantage at the break (42-33).
UCLA built its largest lead of the game at the 13:22 mark of the second half on a jumper by Nirra Fields to lead 51-37. But as they have done on five previous occasions, the Bruins blew a double-digit lead in the second half.
The Bruins had no answer for Alleyne, who finished the game with 30 points and 25 rebounds as she almost single-handedly outrebounded UCLA, which lost the battle of the boards, 41-34.
UCLA held a 62-54 lead with 5:35 remaining, but Oregon outscored the Bruins 11-5 down the stretch to complete the come-from-behind win. UCLA led 65-62 after a free throw by senior Corinne Costa (2:27). But Alleyne scored two traditional three-point plays and Oregon's final 10 points of the game to seal the win for the Ducks.
Fields led a trio of Bruins in double figures with 15 points. Junior Kacy Swain had a season-high 12 points and just missed a double-double with nine rebounds. Costa finished with 13 points and seven boards.
Katelyn Loper was the only other Duck to score in double figures with 17 points.
TIP-INS
Oregon: Alleyne's 30 points and 25 rebounds were both season highs for the junior forward.
UCLA: Corinne Costa played in her 100th career game as a Bruin.
NO LEAD IS SAFE
UCLA is now 6-5 on the year when leading at the half and just 2-3 in Pac-12 play. The Bruins have blown five double-digit leads this season, including in each of the last three games.
