Weisner leads No. 7 Oregon State women past No. 12 UCLA

Feb 22, 2016 - 6:21 AM CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) One of Oregon State's strengths is its depth. Against No. 12 UCLA, however, the ninth-ranked Beavers got nearly all of its scoring from its three stars.

Jamie Weisner scored 25 points and grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds, Sydney Wiese had 21 points and Ruth Hamblin added 16 to help Oregon State beat UCLA 64-54 on Sunday night to tie a school record with its 14th straight win.

''Usually we're known for spreading it around and having a lot of contributions, especially off the bench,'' said Hamblin, who also had 15 rebounds and six blocks.

Deven Hunter was the only other Beavers player to score, making a jumper with 7:35 left in the third quarter.

''This is not a three-person team and everybody can play,'' Weisner said.

Before the game, the Beavers (24-3, 15-1 Pac-12) honored five players on senior night, including Weisner and Hamblin, who have already helped Oregon State to three 20-win seasons, two NCAA tournament appearances and the school's first conference championship.

The Beavers led 50-39 entering the fourth, and UCLA couldn't get closer than eight the rest of the game.

Oregon State held the Bruins to 30 percent shooting. However, the Beavers shot 37 percent themselves and committed 18 turnovers.

''We needed to get some easier shots for each other,'' she said
