After a pair of tough losses in their last two games, Oregon State got back in the win column Thursday night with a solid, 73-58 win over the Seattle Redhawks. The Beavers are now 5-6 overall this season.
Seattle looked pretty dangerous out of the gate. The Redhawks grabbed an early lead with a Paris Dawson three pointer, and held a small lead for most of the first half. Oregon State managed to grab a lead briefly halfway through the period thanks to a Tyler Bilodeau three, but didn’t hold it long.
Still, Oregon State hung close to Seattle, A Dexter Akanno dunk with 31 seconds left in the half got the Beavers to within three, down 28-25, as the first half ended, and the stage was set for a fierce battle in the second half.
