Noelle's free throw was the difference and we are 1-0! #GoBeavs pic.twitter.com/llljinq4az— Oregon State WBB (@BeaverWBB) November 8, 2022While Talia von Oelhoffen got the scoring started with a layup off a fast break, it was Hawaii who took control of the game early. With a 7 point quarter from Kallin Spiller, and a pair of three pointers from Lily Wahinekapu, the Rainbow Wahine jumped out to a 20-7 lead, before Lily Hansford hit a three for the Beavers to cut the Hawaii lead to 20-10 at the end of the first.
