CORVALLIS — From Oregon State's comeback victory over Stanford, it will be easy to remember Deven Hunter's suddenly deadly three-point shot. Or Jamie Weisner's monster fourth quarter.
But a more subtle key to the Beavers' furious rally came in the middle, where Marie Gulich — not Ruth Hamblin — occupied the paint down the stretch.
Guilich checked in as part of a typical substitution pattern. When OSU began its run, coach Scott Rueck was not about to mess with the lineup. And being on the floor during crunch time of one of the signature wins during OSU's national ascent is the latest piece of Gulich's, which continues Friday night when the 11th-ranked Beavers play at Utah.
