December 06, 2019 | Women's Basketball
Oregon State moves to 8-0 on the season
CORVALLIS ā Freshmen Kennedy Brown and Taylor Jones lifted the No. 5 Oregon State women's basketball team to a 64-32 win over Hawaii Friday evening at Gill Coliseum.
Ā
"It's always good to be back in Gill," said Oregon State associate head coach Jonas Chatterton. "I thought we started the game really well defensively, and attacked offensively. Overall, I think we played our best defensive game of the year. Give Hawaii credit, I think they had a good plan for us today. This was a good win for our team, and a good step forward."
Ā
With the win, the Beavers remain perfect at 8-0 on the season, matching their best start since the 2015-16 team won the first eight game of the year. Oregon State is one of 16 remaining unbeaten teams in the nation.
Ā
Brown scored 16 points for the second-straight game, going 6-for-9 from the floor and 4-for-6 from 3-point range. The forward also tallied six rebounds and a block. Jones finished with 12 points on 5-for-6 shooting, and added seven rebounds and two blocks.
Ā
Mikayla Pivec recorded 11 points and seven rebounds. Destiny Slocum tallied 10 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.
Ā
The Beavers dominated defensively, holding Hawaii (4-5) to single-digit scoring in each of the first three quarters, and 23.2 percent shooting in the game. OSU shot 49.1 percent and held a 43-31 advantage in rebounds.
Ā
Oregon State jumped in front right from the start, scoring the first seven points of the contest, on its way to a 12-3 lead at the game's first media break. The Beavers ended the opening quarter up 16-9.
Ā
OSU scored eight unanswered points to extend the advantage to 16 points in the second, as the Beavers went to the break up 31-15.
Ā
The third quarter featured more of the same, as Oregon State used a 12-0 run to take a commanding lead, as it headed to the closing frame ahead 48-20. OSU cruised from there, taking the win by 32.
Ā
The Beavers will remain at home next week, when Utah State visits Gill Coliseum Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
