EUGENE, Ore. – The No. 18 Oregon State women's basketball team suffered its first Civil War defeat since 2011 Sunday evening, as the Beavers fell 75-63 to No. 7 Oregon in Eugene.
"We're a young team, and that was evident early on," said Oregon State head coach Scott Rueck. "Early in the game I thought we settled for shots. But in the second half we kept battling and we continued to defend well. I liked our grit and our toughness. This team is continuing to get better as the year goes along. We've grown a lot in the last two weeks, and I'm really proud of the way we fought tonight.
