Oregon State will face Florida State on Sunday
CORVALLIS – The Oregon State women's basketball team has been selected as a No. eight seed and will face ninth-seeded Florida State on Sunday in the First Round of the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament, as was announced during Monday's Selection Show.
Â
The Beavers' first round game will take place at Strahan Arena on the campus of Texas State in San Marcos, Texas. The NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Committee announced in February that San Antonio and the surrounding region will play host to the entire 2021 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship.
Â
Should Oregon State win on Sunday, it would face either one-seeded South Carolina or 16-seed Mercer in the second round of the tournament on Tuesday.Â
Â
With Monday's selection, the Beavers have now been invited to the last seven NCAA Tournaments. Oregon State has made four-consecutive Sweet 16's, including a Final Four run in 2016, and would have likely been a top-four seed last season had the event not been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Â
Oregon State heads into the NCAA Tournament with a record of 11-7. The Beavers have won eight of their last 10 games, including three victories over ranked opponents. Aleah Goodman and Taylor Jones both earned All-Pac-12 honors this season.
Â
Per NCAA guidelines there will be no public tickets available for first and second rounds of the tournament. Only team guests will be permitted in the venue.
