CORVALLIS — When looking back at the watershed moments of his Oregon State tenure, Scott Rueck puts the Beavers' 2013 home contest against Notre Dame at the very top.
Ultimately, the second-ranked Fighting Irish pulled away late to beat a young Beavers squad 70-58. But in front of a crowd of more than 4,000 at Gill Coliseum and a television audience for the first time that season, OSU went toe-to-toe with Notre Dame for 38 minutes. Ruth Hamblin had a breakout performance, recording nine blocks and nearly notching a triple double. Sharpshooters Jamie Weisner and Sydney Wiese scored 18 and 15 points, respectively.
