Beavers Blow By Trojans for 77-52 Road Win
February 19, 2021 | Women's Basketball
Oregon State never trailed, shot 54.2 percent from the floor
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – The Oregon State women's basketball team blew past USC Friday afternoon, taking down the Trojans 77-52 at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, Calif.
"This game was a lot of fun," said Oregon State head coach Scott Rueck. "We've been waiting to put together a defensive performance like that. Getting consecutive games, as scheduled was important for us, and when we have had those opportunities this year we have seen growth. I think today was a huge step forward for us. I couldn't be happier for this group."
Freshman Talia von Oelhoffen led the Beavers with 19 points on 7-for-9 shooting from the floor. Senior Aleah Goodman went 6-for-9 from the floor to finish with 17 points.
Taylor Jones pulled down 13 rebounds to go along with nine points and one block. Ellie Mack tallied 12 points, four rebounds and a pair of assists.
As a team the Beavers shot 54.2 percent from the floor and 64.3 percent from beyond the arc. OSU out-rebounded the Trojans 44-25.
Oregon State jumped out to a nine-point lead at 18-9 in middle of the first quarter. The Beavers headed to the second in front 21-16 after a buzzer-beating three-quarter court shot from Goodman.
OSU added to its advantage, going in front by eight five minutes before the intermission. The Beaver defense clamped down heading into the half, as the Trojans were held without a field goal for a stretch of over five minutes to head to the locker room in front 37-23.
The two sides traded punches early in the third quarter. The Beavers maintained a double-digit advantage through most of the period, heading to the closing frame in front 53-38.
Oregon State continued to add to the lead from there, going in front by as many as 29 on its way to a 25-point win. OSU never trailed in the contest.
The Beavers will head to Westwood Sunday for a matchup with No. 8 UCLA.
