CORVALLIS, Ore. – Mary-Kate Marshall and Lanesha Reagan each recorded double doubles to help guide the Oregon State volleyball team to a four-set victory over Arizona Sunday afternoon at Gill Coliseum.

Set scores were 23-25, 25-20, 25-23 and 25-20.

In a match that saw 36 ties and 13 lead changes, the Beavers were victors over the Wildcats for the second straight match at Gill Coliseum – in 2015 it was a victory over then-No. 23 Arizona – after a fourth set the Beavers owned late. The set also saw its fair share of ties and lead changes – nine and four, respectively – but the Beavers never trailed after going up 14-13 midway through the frame.

It was Marshall's 17^th and final kill that did in the Wildcats after Arizona, down 24-17, went on a three-point run. An Oregon State timeout followed before the junior posted her 34^th kill of the weekend.

The double double marked the fourth of the season for Marshall, who also tallied 17 digs.

Reagan, meanwhile, increased her team lead in double doubles to nine with a 14-kill, 19-dig afternoon. The 19 digs are a career-best for the redshirt sophomore, who earlier this season had 18 against USC.

Lila Toner had 10 kills to help pace an Oregon State (9-14 overall, 2-10 Pac-12 Conference) attack that hit .213 compared to .195 for the Wildcats. Arizona was forced into 30 attack errors – despite finishing with 63 kills to Oregon State's 52. Arizona also finished with 11 service errors while the Beavers had six. Oregon State finished with five aces to the Wildcats' one.

Arizona (14-10, 6-6) also out-dug the Beavers, 72-to-63, with Reagan's 19 pacing Oregon State. The Beavers, however, won the battle at the net, with 6.5 blocks to 3 for the Wildcats. Kory Cheshire had a match-best four, including two solo.

The Beavers hit .190 in a first-set loss, and despite dropping to .176 in set two, won it 25-20. That's due in large part to holding the Wildcats to a .070 clip. Arizona had 12 kills but was also charged with nine errors.

Oregon State won set three – the most "tame" of the match due to just seven ties and two lead changes – by hitting .278. And in set four, OSU hit .208, limiting Arizona to a .133 percentage.

Oregon State heads to the state of Washington next weekend for a pair of matches against the Huskies and Cougars. The Beavers open at Washington State Friday night at 7 p.m., followed by a Sunday match at Washington that starts at 3 p.m.
