CORVALLIS – The No. 3 Oregon State women's basketball team finished nonconference play undefeated, as the Beavers took down CSU Bakersfield 69-50 Sunday at Gill Coliseum.

"It was wonderful to be back in Gill, what an awesome crowd," said Oregon State head coach Scott Rueck. "We're pleased with the win of course – Bakersfield was very scrappy, and played a good game. They have a lot of fun ahead of them as the season progresses. For our team, I like the way we rebounded today. We had some great moments. Excited for this team to finish 12-0 in nonconference, that's pretty special and we're excited for Pac-12 play to begin."

With the win, the Beavers open the season 12-0, as they get ready to open conference action next week.

Freshman Taylor Jones recorded her fourth double-double of the season, going for 16 points, 13 rebounds and six blocks. Senior Mikayla Pivec also tallied a double-double, finishing with 13 points on 5-for-7 shooting, to go with 10 rebounds and five assists.

Kat Tudor hit three 3-pointers to tally 13 points, while Destiny Slocum put up nine points and nine assists. Kennedy Brown went for seven points on 3-for-5 shooting.

As a team, the Beavers shot 50 percent from the floor, compared to 29 percent for CSU Bakersfield. Oregon State also held a 47-32 advantage in rebounds.

The teams went back and forth through the first five minutes, with Oregon State taking a 7-6 advantage into the first media timeout. The Beavers headed to the second up 16-12.

Oregon State scored the first nine points of the second quarter to go in front by double-figures. The Beavers held the Roadrunners to two second-quarter points on their way to a 34-14 halftime lead.
