Despite leading by 10 points in the third quarter, IU women's basketball had careless mistakes, a familiar trend, leading to a 54-47 loss to Oregon.

Indiana’s west coast road trip started with two records it did not aspire to set.

With its starters struggling to score Friday night, the Oregon women's basketball team turned to its underclassmen to pull out a win over Indiana.

After Oregon sophomore guard Sofia Bell’s missed 3-pointer, it was Indiana women’s basketball’s turn to respond in its first possession of the fourth quarter. The Ducks held momentum as they cut the Hoosiers once 10-point lead to a 2-point lead with a 10-0 run in the middle of the third quarter.

Indiana will try to keep its three-game road win streak intact when the Hoosiers take on Oregon. Friday's meeting is the first of the season between the two teams.

Striplin 7-14 0-0 14, Ciezki 0-5 0-0 0, Garzon 4-14 0-2 8, Moore-McNeil 3-10 1-1 8, Parrish 4-7 0-0 10, Meister 2-3 0-0 4, Bargesser 1-3 0-0 3, LaMendola 0-0 0-0 0, Sandvik 0-0 0-0 0, Totals 21-56 1-3 47

Entering the final period leading by just 2 points, Indiana’s carelessness with the basketball returned. Junior guard Shay Ciezki’s pass in graduate student guard Chloe Moore-McNeil's direction was intercepted and layed in by sophomore guard Ari Long.

Coming off back-to-back losses inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, Indiana women’s basketball will look to rebound in its lone West Coast trip in Big Ten play. The Hoosiers will face off with Oregon on Friday before taking on Washington on Jan. 27.

Indiana only had one field goal in the final 5:09 of the game and those turnovers all came before the Hoosiers could set up their half court offense. They gifted Oregon the ball at the top of the key and that led to a series of easy fast break layups.
