ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Amanda Minni and Ellie Slama each won their match for the second consecutive day to go unbeaten at the East West Match Play Challenge.

The Oregon State women's golf team narrowly lost to Ohio State 3-2 on Tuesday, a day after falling to Iowa State 3-2. The Beavers finished in second place in Sunday's 36-hole stroke play competition to earn a spot in the four-team championship match play bracket.

The match play format was five golfers competing head-to-head in individual play with one point given to the winning player. The first team to three points won the match.

Sophomores Minni and Slama both went 2-0 in the tournament at the par-72, 6,292-yard Radrick Farms Golf Course.

Minni defeated Yukie Sasaki of Ohio State 3 and 2, a day after taking down Taglao Jeeravivitaporn of Iowa State 4 and 3. Slama cruised to a 5 and 3 win over the Buckeyes' Nikilotte Schroeder to move to 2-0 following Monday's victory over Iowa State's Chayanit Wangmahaporn.

The Beavers have three weeks off before competing at the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational in Seattle, Wash., on Tuesday, Oct. 9 and Wednesday, Oct. 10.
