<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cI guess it was a point of emphasis in the Sweet 16 with jewelry and she\u2019s had a nose ring the entire season,\u201d Coach Niele Ivey said. \u201cJust wish we would have known beforehand. Can\u2019t control it, so we had to move on, but yeah, stoppage of play is never great when you\u2019re trying to have flow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oregon State led by a point at halftime, but opened the second half on an 11-2 run, capped by a layup from Gardiner that forced an Irish timeout.<\/p>\n
Notre Dame came back, taking a 59-57 lead on a pull-up jumper from Anna DeWolfe with just over four minutes left in the game.<\/p>\n
But a 3-pointer from Donovan put Oregon State back in front for good.<\/p>\n
Hidalgo\u2019s off-balance shot with a minute left made it 65-63, before Gardiner found Beers underneath with 26 seconds left to stretch it to four.<\/p>\n
Talia von Oelhoffen then blocked a 3-point attempt from Westbeld and sank two foul shots on the other end.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hear all the time, you guys got lucky because they missed shots,\u201d Oregon State coach Scott Rueck said. \u201cI would tell you, well, they\u2019re shooting the shots we want them to shoot and they don\u2019t normally shoot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Notre Dame has been using a six-player rotation since losing 6-foot-4 forward Kylee Watson, who tore an ACL in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament.<\/p>\n
Oregon State capitalized on their height advantage early, throwing the ball into the paint. The 6-2 Beers and 6-3 Gardiner combined for 14 of the Beaver\u2019s 17 first-quarter points.<\/p>\n
The short-handed Irish also dealt with early foul trouble. DeWolfe picked up two in the first quarter and Westbeld had three by halftime.<\/p>\n
BIG PICTURE<\/h2>\n
Oregon State: The Beavers have now held 14 opponents this season to at least 10 points below their season average. Notre Dame came into Friday\u2019s game averaging 79 points a game.<\/p>\n
Notre Dame: The 10 points ties a season low for Hidalgo, who hit just two of her first 13 shots. But she also forced two 10-second backcourt violations on Oregon State and many of the Beavers 26 turnovers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s tough because you know I was on a roll and having to sit out for five minutes because of a nose ring is BS,\u201d Hidalgo said.<\/p>\n
UP NEXT<\/h2>\n
Oregon State has advanced past the Sweet 16 just twice before, reaching the regional finals in 2018 and the 2016 Final Four.<\/p>\n
