OSU release – CORVALLIS – The Oregon State women’s basketball team advanced to the second round of the WNIT with a 70-59 win over Long Beach State Thursday evening at Gill Coliseum. “Long Beach State played a great game tonight and you have to give them a lot of credit,” said Oregon State head coach Scott Rueck. “They turned us over a bunch, but when we got shots, we made those shots. I was really pleased with the way we fought and stayed with it. We had great performances throughout our roster. It was a lot of fun to be in front of Beaver Nation again, and we are hoping for another opportunity to do that now that we have won.” With the win, the Beavers will now face the winner of Friday’s game between Portland and Colorado State in the second round of the tournament.
