No. 10 Oregon State women beat Southern Cal 74-60 (Jan 15, 2017)

LOS ANGELES (AP) Kolbie Orum scored 16 points on 8-of-11 shooting to help No. 10 Oregon State beat Southern California 74-60 on Sunday.

Orum also had nine rebounds for the Beavers (16-2, 5-1 Pac-12). Maria Gulich added 11 points and 10 rebounds, and Breanna Brown and Mikayla Pivec each had 10 points.

Oregon State rebounded from a 66-56 loss to No. 17 UCLA on Friday night that snapped its 12-game winning streak. The Beavers outscored the Trojans 24-11 in the third quarter to take a 58-38 lead.

''I love our effort,'' Oregon State coach Scott Rueck said. ''We got to play everybody today, and I was looking for a chance to do that. I thought this was a great team win. We executed well today, and got better as the game went along. I'm excited to be 5-1 (in the Pac-12) right now, going back home with great momentum. I'm really pleased with where we're at. We're playing some really good basketball.''

Sadie Edwards had 17 points for USC (10-7, 1-5), and Courtney Jaco added 13. The Trojans have lost five straight.

''Oregon State's half-court offense is just relentless,'' Trojans coach Cynthia Cooper-Dyke said. ''They do a great job executing for 40 minutes and keeping the pressure on the defense to stop them. I thought we were inconsistent in our defensive effort and inconsistent in our offensive shot selection. When you play such a great team like Oregon State, you've got to be better. You almost have to play a perfect game, even at home, where you're getting stops and then you're executing on the offensive end of the floor.''
