The Oregon State (7-4) Women’s basketball team returned to action after nearly a month off by welcoming Adia Barnes and her 7th ranked Arizona Wildcats (12-1) to Gill Coliseum on Thursday night. The Beavers were looking for their first win since beating Northern Iowa at the Maui Jim Classic on Dec. 19 and their first home win since beating Pacific on Dec. 1.
The Beavers and Wildcats fought until the final seconds of the game and a Shaina Pellington jumper for Arizona was the difference late in the contest to give the visiting team a 55-53 win.
Fifth-year senior Taya Corosdale had a monster night for Oregon State recording a near double-double with a career-high 19 points and 8 rebounds.
