The Oregon women's basketball team lost its top two guards to the transfer portal soon after the season ended in March.

Coach Kelly Graves is starting to rebuild the position.

The Ducks have signed 5-foot-7 guard Kennedi Williams, a fifth-year senior from Liberty where she played in all 124 games in her four seasons as a Flame, including 33 starts last season when she averaged 7.6 points, 4.6 assists and 2.1 rebounds per game. She also shot 54.2% from the field.

Williams is a key addition for Oregon, which lost starting guards Endyia Rogers and Te-Hina Paopao to Texas A&M and South Carolina, respectively.
