CORVALLIS – The No. 11 Oregon State women's basketball team battled to a tightly contested 76-69 victory over Washington State Friday evening, as the Beavers opened Pac-12 play at Gill Coliseum.
"What a great battle that was, and that's what you expect in this conference," said Oregon State head coach Scott Rueck. "You have to give Washington State a lot of credit. I was so pleased with the way our team made plays down the stretch. In the fourth quarter we had to step up, and we did. This team closed the game out with great play.
