In an electrifying matchup, the Oregon State women’s basketball team pulled off a remarkable upset against the third-ranked Colorado squad, sending shockwaves through the college basketball world.
Led by the standout performance of freshman sensation Donovyn Hunter, who notched a career-high 16 points, the Beavers displayed grit and determination to secure a hard-fought 68-62 win at Gill Coliseum.
Joined by junior guard Talia von Oelhoffen, who also contributed 16 points, and A.J. Marotte with 10 points, the Beavers showcased a balanced offensive attack that kept Colorado on its toes throughout the game.
Despite a strong start by the Buffaloes, Oregon State’s defense tightened up after the first quarter, holding Colorado to just eight made shots out of their last 30 attempts. This defensive resilience, coupled with Hunter’s stellar playmaking, proved crucial in securing the Beavers’ first win over a Top 25 opponent this season.
With momentum on their side, Oregon State capitalized on Colorado’s struggles and maintained control of the game, even as the Buffaloes attempted a late comeback. The Beavers’ ability to stay composed under pressure and execute down the stretch was instrumental in sealing the victory.
This impressive win not only marks Oregon State’s resurgence in women’s college basketball but also solidifies their status as a force to be reckoned with in the competitive Pac-12 conference. As they continue to build on this momentum, the Beavers are poised to make a significant impact on the national stage.
