Oregon State Beavers Set to Battle California Golden Bears at Haas Pavilion

The Beavers have been on a remarkable run, displaying an impressive performance in their recent games. On December 21st, they secured a solid win against the Texas Tech Lady Raiders with a score of 77-65. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot an exceptional 51 percent from the field and an outstanding 44 percent from beyond the arc. With such shooting efficiency, it's clear that Oregon State has found its rhythm on offense.


Moreover, their December 20th game against Southeastern Louisiana Lady Lions saw them dominate with a high-scoring affair that ended at 92-69 in favor of ORST. The team's field goal percentage was nearly 60 percent – a testament to their ability to create and convert scoring opportunities effectively.


In contrast, when looking back at their performance against Santa Clara Broncos on December 16th where they won by a comfortable margin (80-52), it was not just their offense but also their defense that stood out. The Beavers managed seven blocks and four steals while dominating the boards with an overwhelming total rebound count of 56 compared to Santa Clara’s modest tally of 31.


While these victories paint a picture of dominance for ORST, it would be unwise to underestimate CAL who will have home-court advantage at Haas Pavilion. The Golden Bears will certainly look to leverage this edge along with any strategic adjustments they can make after studying ORST’s recent performances.


However, given Oregon State’s current form and momentum coming into this game – which includes strong shooting percentages across all areas and robust defensive stats – there is reason for Beaver fans to feel confident about securing another win.


The scheduled clash between these two formidable opponents is set for January 19th at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley. Fans unable or unwilling to brave what promises to be an electric atmosphere in person can catch all the action live as it unfolds without broadcast networks coverage announced yet.
