Goforth goes for 24 in winning effort

"That game was fun," said Oregon State head coach Scott Rueck. "It was a tough game, and we knew it would be. We were going against a team with a lot of skill, and that plays as hard as anyone. This team is still learning and forming its identity, so being challenged like that was good for us. This was a big test for us, and I am really pleased with the way our team responded. This was a really good basketball game."

Freshman Sasha Goforth shined in her second collegiate game, scoring 24 points on 7-for-11 shooting from the floor. Taylor Jones had another impressive effort, finishing with 19 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks.

As a team, the Beavers shot 46.8 percent in the game, and held San Francisco to 40.0 percent shooting. Oregon State held a 44-38 advantage on the glass.
Ā
Oregon State scored the first eight points of the game, before San Francisco battled back to go in front after a quarter of play. The Dons took a 43-35 advantage in the break.
Ā
The Beavers exploded out of the gates in the second half, scoring the first eight points of the third quarter to level the score. OSU proceeded to go up 59-50 with three minutes left in the period. Oregon State took a 63-60 edge into the closing frame.
