While the road to Oregon State¶s ¿rst Zomen¶s )inal )our has been Tuite a ride for those tZo seniors, it is even more remarkable considering the shambles the program Zas in Zhen coach Scott Rueck arrived six years ago. “I think that this day sig- ni¿es Must anything is possi- ble,” Rueck said. “It has to do Zith sports and the human spirit and that might be kind of deep, but that¶s Zhat this is, a group that believed Zhen there Zas no reason to, to see them- selves through a )inal )our. It¶s mind-bloZing.” Sydney Wiese scored 18 points, including three free throZs in the ¿nal seconds to push the Beavers past Baylor 60-57 on Monday night in the Dallas Regional ¿nal — about 2,000 miles from their home, and only about 100 miles from the Waco campus of the top- seeded Lady Bears. After having to conduct open tryouts to ¿ll his ¿rst team, the Pac-12 champion Beavers 2- are going to Indianapo- lis Zith a roster of seniors and Muniors recruited by Rueck. “7his Mourney has been incredible,” said Wiese, a Munior. “7o have success Zith this group, Ze deserve it. We¶ve earned it.” Next up is three-time defending national champion UConn on Sunday. Baylor 6-2 ¿nished its season Zith a regional ¿nal loss for the third consecutive season. “This one hurts a little bit more because it’s three times in a roZ,” said Nina Davis, Zho scored 11 points. “We played hard. I can’t say it Zas lack of effort.” Weisner, the Pac-12 Player of the <ear Zho Zas the regional Most Outstanding Player, had 16 points Zhile Hamblin had 10 points and 12 rebounds for the Beavers in their ¿rst regional ¿nal. *abri- ella Hanson also added 10 points. Oregon State has Zon 22 of its past 2 games and has already set a school record for victories this season. They Zon the Pac-12 Tournament and shared the regular-season title, after last season Zinning the croZn outright to end Stan- ford’s run of 1 championships in a roZ. “We’re going to celebrate tonight, soak up this special moment,” Hamblin said. “And Ze’re going to get back to Zork this Zeek and Ze knoZ Zhat Ze have to do to play UConn because they’re obviously a formidable opponent.” Weise made her second free throZ after being fouled by Alexis Jones Zith seconds left. Jones, the former Duke transfer Zho led Baylor Zith 1 points, had a turnaround Mumper that rattled around the rim Zith- out falling Zith 11 seconds left. Hamblin, the 6-foot-6 cen- ter from Canada, grabbed the rebound and got the ball to Weise, Zho Zas fouled Zith 7. seconds left. After Weise made both free throZs, Baylor Tuickly got back doZn the court. Jones couldn’t get off a shot before a missed -pointer by Niya Johnson, the senior point guard in her last chance for a )inal )our. “They did hit clutch shots and Ze didn’t,” Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. “I mean, there Zas hoZ many times Ze had a tie ball game there at the end and Ze didn’t get a good shot.” Weisner scored tZice in the ¿nal 207 of the third Tuarter to beat the shot-clock buzzer. Baylor led only tZice, after scoring the game’s ¿rst four points and Zhen Nina Davis made a layup Zith 65 left to make it 51-50. Davis had 11 points.

The Beavers Zere tough Oregon State forward Deven Hunter, center, kisses the Division I Regional Championship NCAA trophy after a women’s NCAA basketball tournament game against Baylor Monday, in Dallas. Oregon State won 60-57. and resilient throughout, and there Zas a point mid- Zay through the second Tuar- ter Zhen Mulkey Zas so frus- trated after a non-call by the of¿cials that she ripped off her gold Macket and Àung it over the Lady Bears bench, draZing a technical foul. Davis Zas almost knocked to the ground Zhen missing a layup, and that Zas the boil- ing point after the coach Zas already upset by several other calls or non-calls by of¿cials.
