OSU release – CORVALLIS – The Oregon State women’s basketball team advanced to the final eight of the WNIT with a dramatic 78-73 win over New Mexico at Gill Coliseum, Thursday. “This was a great basketball game against a really good team,” said Oregon State head coach Scott Rueck. “Give them a lot of credit – we knew what they were capable of. It’s hard to replicate what they do until you are in it. They came in and played a really good game. It took us a little while to get going, but I was impressed with the way our group kept their head. I loved how tough we were, and I loved the crowd. It was a really fun second half – a back-and-forth battle, and I was really proud of the way we made plays down the stretch.” With the win, the Beavers (17-13) will now host UCLA on Sunday.
