Villa Powers Oregon State Women Past Pacific
CORVALLIS, Ore. (Interstat) — Jenna Villa scored 32 points to lead Oregon State to an 81-61 victory over Pacific in a nonconference women’s basketball game Friday at Gill Coliseum.
The Beavers (11-5) never trailed, building a 46-24 halftime lead behind a dominant first half. Oregon State shot 56.4% from the field for the game and made 10 of 18 from 3-point range. Villa, a 6-foot-1 guard from Arlington, Washington, was efficient in 29 minutes, hitting 10 of 14 shots.
The Tigers (7-7) were led by Sophia Mindermann with 15 points and Winner Bartholomew with 14. Pacific shot just 37.1% overall and committed 10 turnovers. A fourth-quarter push cut into the deficit but Oregon State’s early margin proved insurmountable. An announced crowd of 3,369 watched the Beavers win their third straight.
