It wasn’t easy. At times, it looked like it might be hopeless. As long as there’s time on the clock, nothing is hopeless, though. Arizona proved that by coming back from a 12-point deficit twice to defeat Oregon State 72-69.

The Wildcats relied on an unlikely hero. Lauren Fields, who was 0-4 heading into the final quarter went off for eight points in 40 seconds with two 3-pointers and a fast break layup to tie things at 65. A 3-pointer by Helena Pueyo 19 seconds later put Arizona ahead for the first time since 5:05 in the first quarter.
