No. 22 Illinois seniors too much for Oregon State as Beavers lose their third straight in women’s basketball
Oregon State couldn’t maintain momentum from a spirited first half as No. 22 Illinois ran away after halftime and defeated the Beavers 85-66 in women’s basketball in Champaign, Ill.
Illinois, leading by 10 at halftime, outscored OSU 29-14 during the third quarter to put the game away.
Oregon State (1-4) dropped its third consecutive game, all to Power 4 conference opponents. AJ Marotte scored 16 points and Catarina Ferreira had 15 to lead the Beavers. Ferreira also grabbed 11 rebounds.
OSU shot 39% in the game, and 7 of 29 from three-point range.
Kendall Bostic and Makira Cook combined to score 51 of Illinois’ 85 points. Bostic, a senior forward, hit 15 of 18 shots and scored 31 points, while Cook, a senior guard, had 20 points and eight assists. Genesis Bryant, another senior guard, scored 12.
Illinois (5-0) made 55% of its shots, hitting 35 of 64.
Oregon State never led in the game, but kept contact throughout the first half. The Beavers got as close as 27-20 on a layup by Marotte with 5:13 left in the second quarter. A three-pointer by Kelsey Rees with 44 seconds left before halftime trimmed the deficit to 10.
Illinois cranked up its offense during the third quarter, and OSU couldn’t keep up. Illinois hit eight of its first nine shots, four by Bostic, as it rolled to a 46-28 lead with 2:18 left in the third. The lead swelled to 28 points during the second half before Oregon State scored some late points to reduce the final margin.
Oregon State heads to the Bahamas, where it will face No. 2 Connecticut in the Continental Tire Baha Mar Championship at 4:30 p.m. Monday.

July 18 Morning Media Release-Akawa Butte, Brewer, and Pilot Fires | Central Oregon Fire Information
Firefighters hold the line through the night on Akawa Butte, Brewer and Pilot Fires in Central Oregon
(Sisters, OR) – Crews worked through the night on the Akawa Butte, Brewer and Pilot Fires. Crews were able to hold all the lines that were built during the day shift. Reconnaissance and scouting operations identified additional access points for more direct access to the fire line and will continue through today.
Numerous resources are in transit and are expected to arrive beginning later today. A full suppression effort is underway and the number one priority is ensuring firefighters and public safety and protecting resources while utilizing tactics to reach the highest probability of success. All fires remain 0% contained.
Akawa Butte Fire
There were some slop overs on the north and northeast edge of the fire later in the day yesterday. Night shift crews worked to reinforce the established dozer line around the slop overs and along the north and northwest parts of the fire. Night crews worked to identify access points along the east and southeast parts of the fire. This will make accessing the fire line for crews and heavy equipment easier. The fire is burning into the Flat Fire burn scar in the southeast which is slowing progression in that area. All fire lines held overnight.
Brewer Fire
There was significant growth on the fire yesterday as a result of hot, dry weather and gusty winds. Overnight, firefighters worked to identify additional access points to the northeast points of the fire. They also worked to strengthen dozer lines to provide a more direct line on the fire. There was slop over on the north edge of the fire but all fire lines held overnight. The heel of the fire is in the northeast corner of the fire with the main growth of the fire to the southeast due to the wind direction in the afternoons.
Pilot Fire
One engine patrolled the fire lines overnight, looking for any spot fires or slop over around the fire lines. The fire is dozer lined on three sides, with natural barriers lining the north.
Weather and Fire Behavior
Conditions will continue to be hot and dry. Wind will be light this morning but are expected to increase this afternoon and will predominantly come from the north and northwest. Fire managers expect challenging, wind‑driven fire activity later in the day.

UMATILLA COUNTY, Ore. — A rollover crash on Interstate 84 in Umatilla County sent four people to the hospital Thursday morning, including three passengers who were later transferred for advanced medical care, according to Oregon State Police.
OSP said troopers responded at 8:27 a.m. Thursday, July 16, to a single-vehicle serious injury crash on I-84 eastbound near milepost 207.
Investigators said a gray Dodge Durango driven by Cullen Michael Derr, 38, of Battle Ground, Wash., was eastbound while towing a custom-built utility trailer when, for an unknown reason, it left the roadway. The vehicle rolled multiple times and caught fire, OSP said.
Police said three occupants were ejected during the crash: a 24-year-old woman, a 15-year-old male and a 9-month-old male infant. OSP said all four occupants, including Derr, were taken to a local hospital, and the three passengers were later transferred to hospitals in Oregon and Washington because of the severity of their injuries.
Derr was arrested for DUII, reckless driving, reckless endangering another person (three counts) and third-degree assault (three counts), and was lodged at the Umatilla County Jail, OSP said.
Interstate 84 was impacted for about one hour during the on-scene investigation. OSP said it was assisted by the Pendleton Police Department, Pendleton Fire & Ambulance Department, and the Oregon Department of Transportation.
