CORVALLIS, Oregon – Cal's struggles in Corvallis continued, as the 25^th-ranked Golden Bears fell to No. 16 Oregon State, 68-48, on Sunday afternoon at Gill Coliseum. The Golden Bears (15-8, 6-6 Pac-12) have now lost three straight, all coming to ranked opponents. The Beavers (17-6, 8-4 Pac-12) have now won the last seven head-to-head meetings with the Bears, Cal's longest active losing streak to any Pac-12 opponent.

Kristine Anigwe led Cal with 13 points, six rebounds, and a season-high three blocked shots. Classmate Asha Thomas added eight points while senior Penina Davidson added six rebounds of her own. Oregon State's Marie Gulich led all scorers with 20 points and added 10 rebounds while Katie McWilliams had 19 points, 14 of which came in the first quarter. 

The Beavers outrebounded Cal, 46-28, on the afternoon and held a 17-8 edge on the offensive glass.

After a tightly contested start to the game, Cal's offense stalled in the second quarter, shooting just 14 percent (2-14) from the floor. Oregon State gained separation as the Bears struggled from the field, taking a 36-17 lead into the locker room. The Bears 17 points are tied for their fewest in any half this season.  McWilliams spearheaded the Bears offense in the opening half, going 5-7 from the floor and 2-3 from beyond the arc. 

Oregon State shot 30.4 percent (7-23) from three-point range on the afternoon while the Bears went 0-11 from beyond the arc, the first time in the last two seasons that Cal has not made a three-pointer in a game.

The Bears came out of the locker room strong, outscoring the Beavers, 18-16, in the third quarter. Cal shot just 22 percent (7-32) from the floor in the first half but started to find its offensive rhythm in the second, going 13-25 (52 percent) from the floor. Anigwe scored nine of her 13 points in the second half and earned her 800^th career rebound early in the third quarter. Having eclipsed 1,700 career points in Friday's game vs Oregon, Anigwe is now one of only five active players in Division I with at least 1,700 career points and 800 career rebounds, joining A'ja Wilson (South Carolina), Myisha Hines-Allen (Louisville), Camille Zimmerman (Columbia), and Tanya Atkinson (Temple).

Trailing by 17 points entering the fourth quarter, Cal was unable to close the deficit any further, dropping its seventh game of the season to a Top-25 opponent.

The Bears will now return to Berkeley, playing their next four games in the Bay Area. Cal welcomes Colorado to Haas Pavilion on Friday, February 9, for a 7 p.m. tipoff. The Bears and Buffaloes (12-11, 3-9 Pac-12) split their two regular season meetings last year, with each team registering a win away from home.
