Amaya Battle and Grace Grocholski combined to score 39 points and lead Minnesota to a 65-60 victory over Oregon on Thursday in Eugene, Ore.

Mara Braun had a team-high nine rebounds.
Grocholski’s 3-pointer with 2:30 remaining gave the Gophers a 62-50 lead, but Oregon (14-7, 2-6) used a 9-1 run to make it 63-60 with 53 seconds left.
