CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State women's basketball hits the road once again this week, looking to extend their seven-game winning streak in the Los Angeles-area against LMU and Pepperdine.

The Beavers battle a dangerous Lions team that already has a win over second-place Santa Clara before taking on a Waves team that opened the season with one of the best stretches of basketball in school history.

LMU is led by Jess Lawson (15.3 ppg, 7.7 rpg) and Maya Hernandez (15.1 ppg, 5.8 rpg), who combine to form a strong guard-post duo. Pepperdine's leading scorer is Ellison Guiney, who averaged 13.9 points per game with 38.4 percent shooting from three.

STARTING FIVE

Oregon State won its seventh straight game, fifth straight conference game and third by double-digits on Saturday, dominating Seattle U 68-38 in Gill Coliseum
The Beavers held the Redhawks to 11 second-half and four fourth-quarter points, the fewest opponent points in a half and points in a quarter in at least two years
Kennedie Shuler was a force to be reckoned with on both ends, posting 18 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 steals. She is one of three players in the country to post that line or better in a game and the only one to shoot better than 50% from the field.
Lara Alonso-Basurto and Néné Sow did an excellent job making sure the Redhawks went one-and-done, grabbing 10 rebounds apiece in 34 combined minutes at the 5
Jenna Villa scored 19 points, her 8th straight game in double figures and 14th in the last 15 games (18 ppg, 46% FG, 37.8% 3PT, 4.9 rpg over that stretch)

WHAT CAN'T SHE DO?
The following is a complete list of Division 1 Women's Basketball players averaging 10 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 0.9 blocks per game in 2025-26:
» Kennedie Shuler (Oregon State)

Only seven players had that kind of all-around impact in a season over the last 10 years:
» Kennedie Shuler (Oregon State - 2025-26)
» Ketsia Athias (Iona - 2022-23)
» Veronica Burton (Northwestern - 2021-22)
» Jaz Shelley (Nebraska - 2021-22)
» Arella Guirantes (Rutgers - 2020-21)
» Lefty Webster (Charlotte - 2016-17)
» Gabby Williams (UConn - 2016-17)

EVERYBODY CRASHES THE GLASS
Oregon State's +7.4 rebounding margin - which ranks 45th nationally and second in the league - this season is a true team effort. The Beavers are one of two teams nationally who have six players (Lara Alonso-Basurto, Tiara Bolden, Néné Sow, Jenna Villa, Kennedie Shuler and Lizzy Williamson) averaging at least 4.4 rebounds per game.
