Oregon Ducks Enter AP Top 25 After Wins

The No. 25 Oregon Ducks women's basketball team secured their fourth consecutive win with a commanding 66-35 victory over North Texas, marking a strong start to their season under head coach Kelly Graves. Elisa Mevius and Nani Falatea each contributed 11 points, helping Oregon to maintain a double-digit lead throughout the game. This victory follows a significant 76-74 win against then-12th-ranked Baylor, ending a 14-game losing streak against Top 25 opponents. Oregon's performance has placed them in the AP Top 25 for the 97th week under Graves. Meanwhile, the Baylor Bears' attempt at a comeback against Oregon fell short despite a late lead, partly due to injuries affecting key players like Bella Fontleroy and Jana Van Gytenbeek. Oregon will continue their homestand against Grand Canyon, while Baylor evaluates their lineup adjustments following the loss.
