CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State controlled Friday's season-opener from start-to-finish in an 86-45 victory over Corban.

The Beavs dominated on the defensive end with 14 blocks and 13 steals while holding the Warriors to 29 percent shooting from the field.

"Tonight was a fun adventure to navigate through the ups and downs of the game. It wasn't perfect for sure, but in the second half I thought we settled in and executed. The ball moved much more freely, which is a good sign of things to come," head coach Scott Rueck said.

Five Beavers scored in double figures, led by Lara Alonso-Basurto's 14-point, 11-rebound double-double. She is the sixth Beav all-time to record a double-double in her debut and first since Taylor Jones in 2020.

Tiara Bolden got the Beavers going early, scoring eight of her 13 points in the opening frame to pace the Beavs to a 23-7 lead. Bolden's strong all-around performance included seven rebounds and six steals.

A slow second quarter followed the hot first, but the Beavs entered halftime up 35-14 and Kennedie Shuler ensured they would pull away even further in the second half. The junior scored the first four points of the second half on a blow-by drive and turnaround jumper, part of a 19-0 run when combined with a 9-0 end to the second quarter. Shuler finished the day with 10 points, five rebounds, 5 assists and three blocks.

Lizzy Williamson combined with Alonso to own the paint. The seventh-year senior scored 10 points with seven rebounds in just under 15 minutes. Fellow Aussies Keira Lindemans and Katelyn Field combined for 10 more points in their first collegiate action.

Ally Schimel added 11 points thanks to a 3-for-6 day from deep, leading a sophomore class that combined for 23 points. Cloe Vecina poured in eight on 4-of-5 shooting and Elisa Mehyar added four.

Oregon State committed just six fouls in the game, their fewest since being whistled five times on December 10, 2021 against Monmouth.

The Beavers are back in action on Monday when they take on Air Force at 6 p.m. Veterans can claim free tickets to the game on VetTix.
