The Beavers had an all-team effort, led by Pac-12 Player of the Year Jamie Weisner, who avoided a second subpar game in a row.

Weisner had two points in Friday's game and appeared headed for trouble when she shot 1-6 from the floor in the first quarter.

She got it together and ended with 23, a full one-third of the Beavers's output.
