Oregon State to 86-39
rout of Washington

SEATTLE — Destiny
Slocum scored 17 of her 28
points in the second quar-
ter, Aleah Goodman made
four of Oregon State’s six
3-pointers in the first quar-
ter, and the ninth-ranked
Beavers rebounded from
their first loss in conference
play with an 86-39 win over
Washington on Friday night.
The Beavers (16-3, 6-1
Pac-12) didn’t let last Sun-
day’s double overtime loss at
home to Arizona State lin-
ger, matching a season-high
with 30 first-quarter points
and leading by as many as
22 in the opening 10 min-
utes. Goodman was the
spark to Oregon State’s big
start, hitting all four of her
attempts from deep, includ-
ing a desperation heave
under pressure as the first
quarter clock expired.
The blowout was just
beginning. The Beavers
led 56-17 at halftime after
shooting 62 percent. The 56
points were a season high
for the first 20 minutes.
Mikayla Pivec had 12
points and a career-high
19 rebounds for the Bea-
vers. Joanna Grymek had
14 points and Goodman fin-
ished with 12.
Amber Melgoza led
Washington (8-12, 1-7) with
20 points, but the Huskies
dropped their fourth straight
and have lost nine of 10.
Washington gave Oregon
State trouble when the teams
met in Corvallis earlier this
month with the Beavers
winning by 11. But Oregon
State’s hot shooting in the
first quarter, combined with
Washington being unable to
hit anything from the perim-
eter led to the game getting
out of hand early.
Oregon State had its sev-
en-game win streak snapped
in the loss to Arizona State
and Slocum struggled in
the loss hitting just 4 of 16
shots. She rebounded in the
big way against the Huskies,
but perhaps it should have
been expected after scor-
ing a career-high 30 against
Washington.
