CORVALLIS -- USC upset No. 9 Oregon State 70-50 Friday night at Gill Coliseum, putting a dent in the Beavers' quest for a third consecutive Pac-12 regular-season title.
OSU (22-3, 11-2 Pac-12) drops into a tie with No. 8 Stanford and No. 10 Washington -- who both won Friday night -- in the Pac-12 standings. The loss also snaps the Beavers' seven-game winning streak since falling Jan. 13 at No. 15 UCLA, their next opponent.
The Trojans built a 13-point lead in the second quarter and withstood every OSU rally attempt. The Beavers tied the game at 31 on an and-1 finish and free throw by Breanna Brown less than two minutes in the third quarter, but got outscored 39-19 the rest of the way.
