MAUI, Hawaii—The Idaho Vandals hit 10 3-pointers Friday night, but could not close out No. 24 Oregon State in the night-cap of the 2016 Maui Wahine Classic. Idaho saw its share of highs and lows in the 60-49 loss. The Vandals held a 14 point second-quarter lead, but only mustered 20 total points in the second half.

"I liked what we were doing early," head coach Jon Newlee commented. "I thought we were making some hard cuts and really executing our offense. Defensively, we were giving up too many points inside. They [Oregon State] are huge inside. They just wore us down in the paint. I was disappointed with our shot selection after we gave up the lead. It was still a four-point game with five minutes to go against the No. 24 team in the country. We were right there. I was really proud of our effort tonight."

The Vandals dropped their fourth consecutive game, finishing 32.3 percent from 3-point range. Sophomore Mikayla Ferenz led Idaho with 10 points and four assists. The Vandals hit 18-of-58 from the field and outscored the Beavers, 16-13, off the bench.

Oregon State (4-1) outscored Idaho 31-20 in the second half. Idaho held a 31-29 lead, but the Vandals offense struggled to make baskets in the third quarter. Idaho started 1-for-10 from the field in the third, seeing OSU go on a 10-3 to take a 41-34 lead. Brigitte O'Neill and Agueda Trujillo added baskets before the end of the quarter to cut the Beaver lead down to 43-39.

Idaho (2-4) slimmed the OSU lead to two with a Mikayla Ferenz 3 early on in the fourth. Taylor Pierce followed suit with another 3 ball to bring Idaho back within two, 48-46, with 6:49 to play.  A trey from OSU's Gabriella Hanson extended the Beavers' lead to seven with four minutes to go. Oregon State used free throws down the stretch to close the final 5:53 on a 12-3 run, holding Idaho scoreless for the final 2:25.

"Those are big WNBA bodies out there that we are playing against," Newlee added. "I am proud of our kids for how hard we battled. We need to continue to work harder. Tonight was night and day from the Washington game. We have played two of the toughest teams in the Pac-12 and our growth from that UW game has been fantastic."

Redshirt junior Brooke Reilly got things going early on for Idaho. She recorded six points in the first quarter. Ferenz opened the scoring for Idaho, opening the game 2-0 for Idaho. The two sides swapped baskets, fighting to a tie at 11 at the 2:45. A Pierce 3 gave the Vandals a 14-13 lead at the end of the period.

O'Neill and Trujillo combined for all 10 points in Idaho's second quarter run, climbing out to a 29-15. Oregon State, down by 14, chipped away at the Idaho lead. The Beavers fought back to within two, 31-29, using a 14-2 run to close the quarter.

Reilly and O'Neill each finished with eight points. Reilly was 3-for-8 from the field, before fouling out midway through the fourth quarter. O'Neill was 3-for-4 off the bench in her 11 minutes. Trujillo netted seven points in her 15 minutes off the bench. Geraldine McCorkell led Idaho with five rebounds.

The Vandals entered the night shooting 75.7 percent from the free-throw line, but struggled against the Beavers. Idaho was just 3-of-9 from the charity stripe. Oregon State almost doubled up the Vandals on the boards. The Beavers out-rebounded Idaho, 49-27.

Sydney Wiese, a 2016 AP All-America Honorable Mention, led the Beavers with 19 points.

The Vandals return to action on Saturday, closing out the tournament with UNLV. The Rebels lost on Friday, 63-57, to Brigham Young.
