CORVALLIS, Or — Returning to Gill Coliseum after suffering their first conference loss, Oregon State was looking to deliver a season sweep against San Francisco.<\/p>\n
The Beavers played from behind early in the first two sets but were still able to deliver a three-set sweep against the Dons.<\/p>\n
“I think we’re so resilient,” senior outside hitter Lauren Rumel said. “This is a team that you’ll see never gives up, and we’re determined to win no matter what. I think we thrive when we’re coming from behind.”<\/p>\n
Rumel led the way for the Beavers with 15 kills, including the final kill of the match to secure Oregon State’s sixth conference win.<\/p>\n
“I always think that I am going to crush it no matter what,” she said. “I was telling Alana [Marrs] I will hit any ball you give me. If it’s up in the air, I’m going to crush it.”<\/p>\n
With eight days separating the Beavers’ past two matchups, head coach Lindsey Behonick attributed the Beavers’ ability to battle back to a full week of training.<\/p>\n
“You don’t get to train a lot in season,” Behonick said. “To have this week of full training really helped our team, being down or pulling ahead.”<\/p>\n
Returning to the win column, Oregon State now shifts its attention to a Pepperdine team that has a 5-2 West Coast Conference record.<\/p>\n
“I think [this win] gives us a lot of confidence heading into two tougher opponents this week,” Rumel said. “We’re excited to continue this momentum. It was so great to win in three [sets], but coming from behind in the first two sets showed us we can overcome deficits and still win.”<\/p>\n
