Beavers Battle On The Road
November 08, 2024 | Women's Basketball
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – An Oregon State team featuring seven newcomers battled on the road but ultimately dropped its season opener 65-59 to Colorado State.
Kelsey Rees led the Beavers with a double-double, scoring team-leading 16 points with a career-high 17 rebounds. Kennedie Shuler also notched a career-best with 14 points while grabbing six rebounds and dishing five assists. AJ Marotte rounded out double-figure scorers with 13 points. The senior also grabbed six boards.
The Beavs endured a shaky defensive first quarter where Colorado State built a 23-16 lead while making 4-of-7 shots from beyond the arc. Catarina Ferreira kept the Beavers in it, draining two open threes for a team-high six in the opening 10 minutes.
Rees led the Beavers in a second quarter charge, scoring seven in the period as OSU made a 13-2 run to close the half leading 34-32. The charge was veteran-led with Sela Heide adding six points while Marotte chipped in five in the second.
Colorado State regained the lead in an ultimately decisive third quarter. The Rams won the period 17-6 with five of their six baskets coming from three. OSU struggled from the field, making just 3-of-16 shots, but won the rebounding battle 14-9.
Oregon State continued to fight in the fourth, pulling within four on a mid-range jumper from Marotte and again on free throws from Shuler. The Rams answered with a 5-0 spurt, however, effectively ending the contest.
The Beavs return to action on Tuesday when they welcome Northwest Nazarene for their home opener. Tip is slated for 5:00 p.m.
