Oregon State women's basketball defeated Seattle Pacific 80-48 in an exhibition game. The Beavers led 36-25 at halftime and outscored Seattle Pacific 44-23 after the break.
Why it matters
The win gave Oregon State an early look at its post play and transition game ahead of its home opener against California Baptist. Rebounding had been a concern for the Beavers before this game, and their 61-28 edge on the glass addressed that weakness.
Oregon State shot 38.4% from the field and 5.3% from three-point range while winning the rebounding battle 61-28, including 25 offensive boards that produced 26 second-chance points. Whether the 5.3% three-point mark reflects early-season rust or a lasting issue is not yet clear from one exhibition game.
