Oregon State’s shooting, especially from beyond the three point line, went ice cold in the second quarter, dooming them in a tough loss to Washington in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament. A good result in the conference tournament could have gotten the Beavers a #2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, but with a loss this bad, the Beavers could potentially be out of a home game. The Beavers fall to 24-7, with a final conference record of 14-5.
Washington’s Darcy Rees and OSU’s Katie McWilliams traded threes to get the game started. Threes were everywhere in the first, with Mikayla Pivec and Destiny Slocum also hitting one each, and Washington matched with a drain from Missy Peterson, while Reese added a second shortly thereafter.
