LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) – Aleah Goodman scored 22 points and Destiny Slocum added 17 to lead No. 8 Oregon State to a 93-45 win over Eastern Washington on Friday night in the Maui Jim Maui Classic.

Mikayla Pivec had 14 points and Kat Tudor 12 for the Beavers (6-1). Oregon State shot 58 percent from the field, including 14 for 27 on 3-pointers.

Grace Kirscher scored 17 points on 7-for-11 shooting for Eastern Washington (1-7). The rest of the team shot 11 for 45 from the floor. The much-taller Beavers dominated on the boards, outrebounding the Eagles 40-23.

The score was tied 13-all after one quarter before Slocum scored nine points in Oregon State’s 23-4 run over the first 8:46 of the second. Alissa Sealby had a three-point play and Krischer hit a 3-pointer to pull Eastern Washington within 13 at halftime.

Slocum then scored five during the Beavers’ 14-4 run that pushed their lead to 24 with 3:48 left in the third. A 12-4 spurt pushed the advantage to 29 heading to the fourth, and Oregon State outscored the Eagles 26-7 over the final 10 minutes.

The third-year tournament is played at the Lahaina Civic Center, the same floor where the Maui Invitational men’s tournament is played.
