MAKAWAO, Hawaii – Kennedie Shuler scored a career-high 21 points and earned Tournament MVP honors as Oregon State defeated Liberty 64-57 on Friday night at Seabury Hall to capture the Maui Classic Championship.

Shuler shot 8-of-14 from the floor and knocked down 4-of-5 free throws while adding six rebounds for the Beavers (8-5). Jenna Villa contributed 13 points on 4-of-8 shooting to go with two steals. Villa also earned All-Tournament recognition.

The Beavers seized control in the third quarter, outscoring Liberty 20-17 to build a 45-42 advantage heading into the final period. Oregon State then shot 46 percent in the fourth quarter to pull away for the victory.

Ally Schimel added eight points for the Beavers, while Néné Sow contributed six points and grabbed six rebounds. Lara Alonso-Basurto and Lizzy Williamson had two blocks apiece.
