Beavers Battle Against No. 9 Hawkeyes
November 25, 2022 | Women's Basketball
PORTLAND – Oregon State stayed within striking distance of No. 9 Iowa for the majority of Friday night's PK Legacy Tournament game, but the Hawkeyes pulled away late to hand OSU a 73-59 loss.
Talia von Oelhoffen led OSU in scoring with 22 points while Shalexxus Aaron had her best game as a Beav with 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the field and 3-of-4 from three. Jelena Mitrovic did yeoman's work on the boards, grabbing a career-high 14 rebounds despite physical play underneath the basket.
Oregon State got off to a slow start, missing their first eight shots and falling behind 9-0. Von Oelhoffen got the Beavers on the board with an and-one to make it 9-3 and OSU cut the deficit to three after a three-pointer from Aaron. Firmly back in the game, the Beavers closed the first quarter down 19-16 after triples from von Oelhoffen and Mitrovic in the final minutes of the period.
OSU knotted up the game soon after the start of the second quarter behind a 5-0 spurt. Von Oelhoffen knocked down a triple to open the quarter and Aaron followed with a putback layup on the next trip up the floor. The Hawkeyes stepped up their offense as the period continued however, scoring 25 points in the quarter. Aaron kept the Beavs in the game with 12 points in the second, hitting shots all over the floor in a strong performance. Oregon State trailed 44-37 entering halftime.
The Beavs stepped up on the defensive end in the third quarter. OSU held the Hawkeyes to just 10 points in the period an didn't allow a basket in the final 4:16, helping the Beavers trim the Iowa lead down to eight at its close. Mitrovic and Bendu Yeaney contributed the highlight of the quarter with a Mitrovic block leading to a three-point play from Yeaney.
Yeaney, von Oelhoffen and Aaron combined to pull Oregon State within six in the fourth quarter, making a 5-0 run and forcing an Iowa timeout. The Hawkeyes answered with a 5-0 spurt of their own before pulling away as the Beavers were forced to try to force turnovers at the end of regulation.
Up next, the Beavs take on Duke, which fell to No. 3 UConn earlier in the day, at Veterans Memorial Arena. The game tips at 7 p.m. on Sunday and will be televised on either ABC or ESPN2.
