PORTLAND – Oregon State dropped a Saturday afternoon battle with Portland 53-50 in the Chiles Center.

Kennedie Shuler was excellent once again for the Beavers, scoring 23 points - one off her career-high - on 10-of-16 shooting. The WCC Defensive Player of the Year contender also blocked two shots and added a steal. She scored 13 points in the second half to give Oregon State an opportunity to win.

The Beavers led 22-16 at halftime of the defensive battle, holding the Pilots to 18.8 percent shooting in the opening 20 minutes – as well as 0-for-9 from three. The entirety of the lead came in an 11-5 second quarter where OSU allowed the Pilots just two made baskets.

Katie Field provided ideal bench minutes in the first half for OSU, scoring six points on two three-pointers while battling for seven rebounds. She added a layup in the second half to finish with eight points, her most against a Division I opponent

Portland used the triple to get back into the game in the third quarter. The Pilots hit all four of their attempts in the period to climb back within two.

The fourth quarter was a back-and-forth battle with OSU holding the frame's largest lead at 45-40 after three free throws from Jenna Villa and a putback from Lizzy Williamson. UP responded with a 7-0 run, however, and neither team led by more than three the rest of the way. Florence Dallow delivered the winning shot, getting a friendly bounce off the rim on a three with 1:05 remaining to put Portland up for good.

Oregon State won on the boards 40-33 and shot 41.7 percent from the floor to Portland's 33.9 percent.

The Beavers return home on Thursday, taking on Santa Clara on Thursday at 6 p.m. in a game with major implications for WCC Tournament seeding.
