Oregon State managed to stay alive in the WNIT tournament with a commanding 74-56 win over the Portland Pilots Sunday afternoon. The Beavers will now face New Mexico in the the third round of the tournament, with the Lobos coming off of a 73-69 victory over San Diego.
Portland scored the first points of the game, with Lucy Cochrane hitting a jumper after start of the first quarter, but that would be the only time the Pilots held the lead Sunday afternoon. Oregon State tied the game with a pair of Jelena Mitrovic free throws, and then took the lead with a Mitrovic layup.
