CORVALLIS, Ore. – Taray Tela's big night helped fuel an Oregon State win on Thursday, defeating Gonzaga in five sets at Gill Coliseum.

The Provo, Utah, native posted 14 kills, which was the second highest total by any player in the match, adding seven blocks to help the Beavers to a season-best 16. Tela, who ranked second in the Pac-12 for hitting percentage entering Thursday's contest, also hit .480, which extends her streak of games hitting .300 or better out to four.

AC Froehlich led all scorers with 17 kills, adding seven digs and two blocks. Alana Marrs had 12 kills and seven blocks, while Taylor Treahy chipped in seven kills, a career-high eight blocks and two aces, and Cheyenne Green had a line of five kills, three digs and four blocks.

Jackie Matias tallied 41 assists, her third-straight 40-plus assist performance, along with eight digs, three aces and a block; Isabel Bertelsen totaled 17 digs, five assists and one ace and Yasemin Narlioglu tied for the team-high mark with three service aces.

Set one was all about the play of Froehlich (six kills) and Marrs (four kills), who helped the Beavers hit .343 on the way to an eight-point victory. Using a trio of three-plus point runs before either team reached 15 points, the Beavers built a comfortable lead that reached eight when a Tela and Treahy block made it 23-15, and Tela finished the set with her second kill.

Narlioglu's first ace ignited a lightning-fast 6-0 run to open the second that included two more Tela kills. Gonzaga promptly responded, however, eventually rattling off five unanswered to take a two point advantage. Another ace, this time by Treahy, brought the Beavers within one at 17-16, and the Beavers soon took a lead after back-to-back Matias aces made it 23-22; GU scored three unanswered to win the set.

The Beavers and Bulldogs both battled early in the third set, trading the lead multiple times before an OSU run – capped off by Green's first block of the evening – extended the advantage to two. Oregon State took over in the middle part of the set, scoring five unanswered and setting the stage for a 25-19 set win.

Gonzaga took control in the fourth, turning a set that was tied at eight apiece into a 15-10 advantage. OSU fought its way back, getting within two at 22-20, but the Zags won, 25-21.

It was all Oregon State in the final frame, using a 4-0 run midway through to take a 10-4 lead before cruising on to a 15-6 set and match win.

With the result, OSU's fourth win in five set matches this season, the team moves to 12-8 and 7-2 in Pac-12 play with a crucial matchup against Colorado State scheduled for 12 p.m. Saturday inside Gill Coliseum.
