Despite an extremely rough first half, the Oregon State Women’s Basketball team survived an impressive effort from Arkansas Pine-Bluff to win their season opener 85-74, to open their season with a 1-0 record.
Oregon State struggled to open the game. Talia von Oelhoffen and Raegan Beers started the game in a promising fashion, giving the Beavers an early 4-0 lead, but the Golden Lions rebounded quickly. Arkansas-Pine Bluff capitalized on some very cold Beaver shooting in the early game. Led by a strong, 9 point first quarter from Zaay Green, the Golden Lions jumped out to a 25-15 first quarter lead on the Beavers, with Oregon State shooting 5 for 19 during the quarter.
