Sunday loss to Oregon State Beavers drops Oregon Ducks women's basketball out of AP Top 25

Another week, another fall in the AP Top 25 poll for the Oregon Ducks women's basketball team.

Last week, the Ducks fell from 19th to 24th after their loss at Arizona State. Now after its latest loss to Oregon State (11-9, 4-6), Oregon finds itself out of the poll altogether.

The Ducks fell two spots to 26th this week as they received 52 total votes, which were four votes shy of No. 25 Florida Gulf Coast.

Stanford (No. 2) and Arizona (No. 8) are the only two Pac-12 schools ranked in the top 25. The Cardinal have won 13 consecutive games while the Wildcats fell two spots after losing to Arizona State last Friday.

South Carolina continues to be on top of the AP poll followed by Stanford, Louisville, NC State and Indiana.

Oregon (16-8, 9-4 Pac-12) will have another challenging week ahead with three games in six days. The Ducks will host UCLA on Wednesday followed by California on Friday and then their regular-season home finale against Stanford on Sunday.
