CORVALLIS, Ore. – Mary-Kate Marshall converted 20 kills and Maddie Goings added 18 but the Beavers fell for the first time in three weeks to Colorado, 3-1. In the process, Oregon State's five-match win streak, the program's longest conference win streak since 1990, came to a halt.
The Beavers fell to 16-8 and 6-6 in Pac-12 play with the loss while the Buffaloes improved to 17-6 and 7-5. Set scores were 23-25, 25-20, 23-25 and 12-25.
"That was a disappointing result," head coach Mark Barnard said. "We lacked our normal energy and missed some opportunities at important moments.
