It was a wild semifinal Saturday in the Pac-12 Women's Basketball Tournament, and Oregon State contributed to the excitement by holding off a red hot Washington Huskies team 57 to 55 to move on to the Championship.
The late Saturday night semifinal matchup was the second meeting between the two teams, with Oregon State eking out a 61 to 53 regular season win in Seattle. The February 5th game saw the two teams' superstars square off against each other in which OSU's Jamie Weisner scored 21 points to UW's Kelsey Plum's 30 points. Even with the high individual scoring by the two stars it was a game that saw both defenses being the main story line, with Oregon State holding the Huskies to 30.
