CORVALLIS – The No. 6/7 Oregon State women's basketball team took down its first ranked opponent of the season Thursday evening, as the Beavers defeated No. 18/20 DePaul 98-77 at Gill Coliseum in the semifinals of the Preseason WNIT.
"This was a fun night in Gill," said Oregon State head coach Scott Rueck. "DePaul is a great team. They're coached to be really confident offensively. They're not the biggest team, but they're as tenacious as anyone. I liked our defensive intensity for most of the game. This was just a great night, and I'm excited to advance in the tournament.
