It took a couple impressive scoring runs at the end of the second quarter and early in the third quarter for the Oregon State (2-0) women's basketball team to take full control of the UC Riverside Highlanders (2-1). But in the end it is another "easy" win for the #7 Beavers, who defeat the Highlanders 86 to 65 and go to 3 to 0 in their early non-conference schedule.
Behind a 9 to 0 opening scoring run Oregon State looked ready to cruise for their third win of the season, but UC Riverside held tough. The Highlanders took advantage of Beavs turnovers to chip away at the Oregon State lead, and were able to tie the score 11 to 11 at the 6:18 mark of the first quarter.
