CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Oregon State women's basketball team earned a 90-47 win Sunday afternoon in an exhibition matchup with Concordia.

Senior Marie Gulich led the Beavers with 21 points, going 9-for-12 from the floor and finishing with nine rebounds. Sophomore Kat Tudor hit five 3-pointers to finish with 19 points, while junior Taylor Kalmer tallied 16 points on 6-for-12 shooting.

Sophomore Mikayla Pivec finished the afternoon with an unconventional double-double, tallying 12 assists and 11 rebounds to go with seven points and five steals. Junior Joanna Grymek and freshman Taya Corosdale rounded out the group of five Beavers in double-figures with 10 points apiece.

"I've liked what I've seen from this group from day one," said Oregon State head coach Scott Rueck. "I thought we defended well this afternoon. This team gives you everything they have, and their expectations are high. I was really pleased with the effort today."

As a team, the Beavers shot 52.9 percent from the floor, while holding the Cavaliers to 34.5 percent shooting. Oregon State held a 46-26 advantage in rebounds.

Oregon State jumped in front right from the start, scoring the first 14 points of the game and holding Concordia scoreless for the opening five minutes of the contest. Tudor went 3-for-4 from long range in the first quarter, as the Beavers jumped out to a 26-7 lead in the opening 10 minutes.

OSU would continue to control the matchup in the second frame, as Tudor hit a layup at the buzzer to send the Beavers to the locker room with a 51-21 advantage. Gulich scored nine points in the second quarter to bring her first-half total to 14.

The second half featured more of the same, as Oregon State led 68-30 at the end of the third quarter, on its way to the 43-point win.

The Beavers will host their regular-season opener on Friday, when they play host to North Dakota. That game will tip off at 2 p.m.
