CORVALLIS – The No. 7 Oregon State women's basketball team fell to No. 4 Oregon 66-57 Sunday afternoon at a sold out Gill Coliseum in Corvallis, Ore.

"What an environment," said Oregon State head coach Scott Rueck. "I'm so proud of our program and everybody involved to be able to create an atmosphere like that. Give Oregon credit. They made the plays, especially in the third quarter and that was really the game. They made it hard for us to get looks. I'm really proud of our group – we have a long way to go though. This is the toughest stretch anybody has had in the country, these last three games. We talked about it after the game – heads up, rest up, keep getting better. We'll be back in the gym Tuesday ready to go."

Mikayla Pivec led the Beavers with 20 points and 12 rebounds, shooting 9-for-14 from the floor. The double-double was Pivec's ninth of the season and the 22^nd of her career.

Aleah Goodman went 3-for-3 from beyond the arc to finish with nine points. She was matched by Destiny Slocum, who also scored nine.

Freshman Taylor Jones tallied eight points and three blocks. Kat Tudor also recorded eight points.

The Beavers shot 40 percent from the floor, while Oregon shot 39 percent. Oregon State moves to 16-4 on the season (4-4 in Pac-12 play), while Oregon improves to 17-2 on the year (7-1 Pac-12).

Oregon got off to a hot start, scoring the first eight points of the game, but the Beavers responded with 10 unanswered points to take their first lead of the game. The two sides went back and forth for the remainder of the quarter, with OSU heading to the second up 16-15.

Oregon State used a 7-0 run late in the second to take a five-point lead. The Beavers went to the break up 37-34.

The Ducks were able to take a seven-point lead late in the third quarter, and went to the closing frame in front 52-45. Oregon led from there on its way to the nine-point win.

The Beavers will return to action Thursday when they take on Colorado in Boulder.
