KIHEI, HAWAI'I – LSU took control in the second quarter and knocked off Oregon State 87-55 in Sunday's Maui Classic finale.

Talia von Oelhoffen led OSU with 14 points, four rebounds and three assists. Raegan Beers also scored in double figures with 11 points and five rebounds.

Oregon State played the Tigers tough in the first quarter. Von Oelhoffen scored six quick points for the Beavs before four more scorers contributed nine points to keep OSU in the game. Jelena Mitrovic and Beers tied the game at 15 late in the period with a 5-0 spurt on a pair of post-up baskets.

The second quarter proved to be much tougher for Oregon State. LSU opened the period on a 14-0 run to take a 31-15 lead. The Tigers led 47-21 at the half thanks to several foul calls that put three OSU regulars on the bench for the majority of the period.

The Beavers continued to battle in the third quarter, battling the Tigers to a near-draw in the period despite the aforementioned foul trouble. OSU opened the period on a 6-2 spurt with two baskets from Mitrovic.

Beers gave Oregon State fans more to cheer about in the fourth quarter, displaying her range while making multiple 15-foot jumpers. The Beavs also tightened up on the defensive end as the quarter wore on, holding LSU to two points in nearly four minutes while going on a 13-2 run. In addition to Beers' jumpers, Adlee Blacklock hit two three-pointers in the run and hustled after several loose balls to keep possessions alive.

Up next, the Beavs have time off for the holidays before welcoming North Carolina Central to Gill Coliseum on December 27.
