SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The No. 11 Oregon State women's basketball team earned its 25^th win of the season Sunday afternoon, as the Beavers topped Utah 63-49 in Salt Lake City.

"This is a tough road trip against two very good teams," said Oregon State head coach Scott Rueck. "We found a way to get it done today. I'm so proud of the way this team fought this afternoon. We got contributions from everyone, this was a great team win. It was beautiful to watch us execute in the fourth quarter."

Senior Sydney Wiese led the Beavers with 14 points and seven rebounds, as she hit four 3-pointers for the second-straight game. Freshman Mikayla Pivec finished with 14 points on 5-for-6 shooting, and pulled down five boards.

Freshman Kat Tudor went 3-for-4 from 3-point range to end the afternoon with nine points. Senior Gabriella Hanson tallied eight points, four rebounds and three assists.

Oregon State held Utah to 27 percent shooting in the contest, and used a 15-0 fourth quarter run to put the game away. Overall the Beavers out-scored the Utes 19-9 in the closing frame.

With the win, OSU moves to 14-2 in Pac-12 play with two conference games remaining.

Oregon State jumped out in front early on, holding Utah scoreless for a five-minute stretch to take a 12-2 lead. The Beavers would continue to limit the Ute offense throughout the first quarter, taking an 18-11 advantage into the second quarter.

OSU kept Utah at bay to start the second frame, holding a six-point edge at the media timeout. The Beavers would head to the intermission up 30-26.

Utah battled back to take its first lead of the afternoon mid-way through the third quarter, but Oregon State would answer to take the advantage back on the next possession. The teams would trade the lead from there until the Beavers grabbed a 44-40 lead headed to the closing frame.

Oregon State used a 15-0 fourth-quarter run to take control of the contest, and held on from there to take the win by 14.

Oregon State will return home for a big clash with Stanford on Friday evening, before hosting California in Sunday's Senior Day contest.
