Oregon State Women's Basketball Secures WCC No. 4 Seed After 73-46 Win

The Oregon State women's basketball team closed out their regular season with a commanding 73-46 victory over Pepperdine, securing the fourth seed in the West Coast Conference (WCC) Tournament. The Beavers, now 16-15 overall and 12-8 in the WCC, dominated from the start, leading by 14 points after the first quarter and extending that lead to 30 points by the end of the third. Kelsey Rees was the standout performer, scoring 24 points and making five three-pointers, while Catarina Ferreira contributed 13 points and eight rebounds. This win comes on the heels of a disappointing loss to Saint Mary's, marking a strong bounce-back for Oregon State. With their fourth seed, the Beavers will receive a bye in the first round of the tournament and will face the winner of the No. 5 vs. No. 8/9 matchup in the quarterfinals. To earn an NCAA tournament berth, Oregon State must win three consecutive games and the WCC championship.
