Clash at Gill Coliseum: Oregon State Beavers to Host Morgan State Lady Bears in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the Oregon State Beavers prepare to host the Morgan State Lady Bears at Gill Coliseum, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying game of women's basketball. The Beavers have been on a remarkable run, and their recent performances suggest that they're not ready to slow down anytime soon.

In their last outing on December 16 against the Santa Clara Broncos, the Beavers dominated with a resounding 80-52 victory. Their offense was firing on all cylinders, shooting an impressive 51 percent from two-point range and 50 percent overall from the field. The team also showcased its depth with contributions across the board, as evidenced by their staggering 22 assists.


Defensively, ORST has been just as formidable. They held off the Broncos' offense effectively, limiting them to a mere 27 percent shooting from the field. With seven blocks in that game alone, it's clear that Oregon State's defensive presence in the paint will be a significant hurdle for any opponent.


The Lady Bears should not be underestimated though; they bring their own set of skills to Corvallis. However, given ORST's recent form and home-court advantage at Gill Coliseum—a venue where they've consistently excelled—it would take quite an upset for Morgan State to come away with a win.


Looking back further into ORST’s season reveals more of this consistent dominance; another notable performance was against Jackson State Lady Tigers on December 10 where they secured a solid 78-58 win. Once again demonstrating offensive prowess and defensive solidity by maintaining over half shooting accuracy from two-point range and racking up another high assist count.


What stands out about this Beaver squad is not just their ability to score but also how well-rounded they are as a team—balancing offense with tough defense and working together seamlessly on court.


With such strong showings leading up to this matchup against Morgan State Lady Bears, it’s hard not see ORST continuing their winning ways. Fans should expect nothing less than full-throttle intensity from tip-off until final buzzer as Beavers look add yet another victory under belt this season.


Mark your calendars for December 28th at 2:00 PM PST when these two teams face off at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis. For those unable attend person but eager catch action live can find updates broadcast details closer date game time approaches—stay tuned!
