Oregon State Defeats San Diego On The Road
February 08, 2025 | Women's Basketball
SAN DIEGO – Oregon State pulled away from San Diego in the third quarter to secure a 58-50 road victory over the Toreros.
Â
The Beavers trailed by two points at halftime before outscoring the hosts 20-11 in the third and coasting to victory in the fourth. OSU dominated in the paint with 44 points inside, their second-most paint points of the season.
Â
AJ Marotte led OSU with nine points in the third quarter, part of a 14-point game. The senior also grabbed three rebounds and dished out four assists, primarily to a pair of posts who made a living around the rim.
Â
Kelsey Rees was one of the two, finishing as the game's leading scorer with 17 points. She also snagged eight rebounds, dished three assists and recorded two blocks. Rees made 8-of-17 shots from the floor, a constant source of offense throughout the contest.
Â
Sela Heide was the other half of a dominant interior duo. The senior scored 16 points and pulled down eight rebounds. She blocked three shots, and her impact in the paint saw multiple Toreros get a pass inside, glance at Heide and dribble out to the perimeter.
Â
Fresh off a career-high in scoring, Ally Schimel handed out four assists on Saturday for a career-high in that too. The freshman had a knack for finding Heide, hitting the 6-foot-7 post with passes only she could reach.
Â
Oregon State returns home for a huge game against WCC-leading Gonzaga on Thursday, February 13 at  6 p.m. It is OSU's Dam Cancer game.
