Oregon State Blanks Gonzaga, Claims Pac-12 Title

Oregon State defeated Gonzaga 2-0 on Saturday night to win the Pac-12 regular season title. The result also secured the top seed for the conference tournament.

Why it matters

The title gives Oregon State the top seed in the Pac-12 tournament, a clear advantage heading into postseason play. The win capped a regular season in which the Beavers finished 9-4-4 overall and 4-1-1 in conference play.

Wyatt Borso has 15 goals this season, tying him for second in a single season in Oregon State history, trailing only Rick Kempf's 17 goals in 1990. Borso scored in the 34th and 36th minutes against Gonzaga.

The players

Wyatt Borso

Oregon State forward who scored both goals in the 2-0 win over Gonzaga and holds the program's second-highest single-season goal total.

Rick Kempf

Former Oregon State forward whose 17 goals in the 1990 season remain the program's single-season record.

Season Trajectory

Borso's 15 goals place him just two shy of Rick Kempf's 1990 program record of 17, which has stood as the benchmark for Oregon State single-season scoring. The Pac-12 title, with its top tournament seed, positions the Beavers as a serious postseason contender.

Oregon State's top seed means its first game in the Pac-12 tournament will come against UC Riverside, the fourth seed after a 2-0 win over Cal Poly. Fantasy and bracket players tracking Borso should note his 15-goal season heading into the postseason.

The takeaway

Oregon State's conference title rests on a balanced regular season, with Wyatt Borso's scoring leading the attack. The top tournament seed gives the Beavers a clear path to build momentum into the postseason.
