Fiso drops career-high 32, Haywood scores 24 in 77-72 win.

ORONO, Maine — For the third time in five games this season, Oregon found itself trailing as it went to the halftime locker room.

This time, guards Katie Fiso and Brooklynn Haywood came to the rescue to lead the Oregon women's basketball team to a 79-72 comeback victory over Maine Friday night at Skip Chappelle Court.

Both guards set new career highs in scoring – Fiso with her 32 and Haywood with 24. Both were nearly flawless in the second half as they combined to score 37 points on 15-of-17 shooting. The backcourt duo accounted for 23 of the Ducks' 25 fourth-quarter points, helping UO overcome a six-point halftime deficit.

"Thank goodness for our two guards," UO coach Kelly Graves said. "Brooklynn and Katie really carried us in that second half. (Katie) is our heart and soul. And then Brooklynn, to be in an environment like this when things aren't going well and have a freshman step up and do what she did, that's huge."

The Ducks' offense hummed at a 63 percent clip in the second half after shooting under 45 percent in the game's first 20 minutes. UO also hit five treys in the second half, with three coming off the hand of Haywood.

Maine kept itself in the game by hitting 14 3-pointers on the night, getting six from star guard Maddie Fitzpatrick, who led her team with 21 points.

"They're a good team, I knew that going in," Graves said. "This is not an easy place to play. Awesome environment, great crowd."

How It Happened: Much like Wednesday's game at Vermont, the opening quarter was a seesaw battle that held three ties and three lead changes. A Fiso layin tied the game at 11, but Maine would go on the score the quarter's final eight points, including back-to-back 3-pointers in the final minute to stake a 19-11 lead.

The Black Bears went 4-of-8 from downtown while UO managed just one triple on six attempts. Haywood scored a team-high five points off the bench in the opening frame.

Oregon trailed by as many as 11 points in the second quarter, mostly due to a 3-point barrage from the Black Bears. Maine hit three more treys in the quarter and finished the half 7-of-15, while the Ducks connected on just 1-of-11 from range. UO trimmed its deficit to six points after a half-ending 8-3 run that featured four points apiece from both Etute and Fiso.

Oregon shot at a higher total efficiency in the first half, 41 percent to 37, but failed to get to the free throw line. Maine owned a 23-16 rebounding edge in taking a 33-27 lead to the locker room.

Ari Long hit the Ducks' first 3-point try of the second half, sparking a 9-0 Oregon run to even the score at 36 less than three minutes into the half and forcing a Maine timeout. The Black Bears responded by scoring 10 of the next 11 points to push their lead back to nine.

A Hilary Fuller 3-pointer lifted the Ducks within two points, 52-50, with just over a minute to play in the third. Fiso would hit consecutive jumpers in the quarter's final minute, but Maine led 57-54 after 30 minutes.

Haywood dropped five quick points in the opening two minutes of the fourth, knocking down a triple to give UO its first lead since the first quarter, 61-59. Oregon's lead grew to 10 after her third 3-pointer of the quarter, as she scored 11 points in a four-minute span to give the Ducks a 69-59 lead with just under five minutes to play.

The Ducks would not relinquish the lead again and held on for their second straight road win by outscoring Maine 25-15 in the final period, shooting at a 57 percent clip. Haywood (13) and Fiso (10) accounted for 23 of UO's 25 points in the fourth.

"We've got to get better," said Graves. "We've got to get contributions from more players. I think Hilary Fuller came in this second half and did a really nice job, gave us a lift defensively."

Up Next: The Ducks return home to host Murray State on Tuesday (11 a.m., B1G+).
