EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Phillipina Kyei had 14 points and 11 rebounds, Elisa Mevius made a big three-point play in the final minute, and Oregon held off Auburn 70-68. The Ducks led 66-58 with 2 1/12 minutes remaining but Auburn scored the next five points on a jumper by Deyona Gaston and three free throws from Taliah Scott. But Mevius was fouled while making a layup and sank the and-1 free throw to put the Ducks back up by six with 27 seconds left. After a layup by Gaston and a free throw by Oregon’s Nani Falatea, Scott hit a 3-pointer to get Auburn within two with four seconds left but Oregon was able to run out the clock.
