Press Release NOVEMBER
29, 2003 'Dons Can't Hold off Beavers Corvallis, OR - The IPFW Mastodons out-rebounded Oregon State, they shot better than the Beavers, and led most of their game today at the Gill Coliseum. But, with a minute left in the game, OSU took the lead and held on for a 57-55 win. IPFW led by as many as nine in the first half as junior center David Simon got loose and threw down two of his eight first half points. Oregon State's junior forward David Lucas kept the Beavers close, pulling OSU back to within four at half time (24-20) with his ten point effort. After the intermission, IPFW grew their lead to eight on a steal by freshman guard Beau Bauer. Bauer hit sophomore guard Quintin Carouthers on the break for a layup. OSU clawed back and re-took the lead at the 12 minute mark on a jumper by Lucas (he finished with a game high 25 points). The game went through three ties and six lead changes the rest of the way, with OSU taking the lead for good on Chris Stephens jumper with 1:03 on the clock. It was Stephens only basket of the game. IPFW outshot OSU 40.4% to 37.3% and dominated the boards 40-27. The Beavers went to the free throw line 13 more times than the 'Dons on the afternoon (23/10) with IPFW hitting 80% of their attempts, while the OSU connected on 78.3%. Simon registered his first double-double of the season with 22 points and 11 rebounds. Juniors Terry Collins and Ric Wyand each added ten points. J.S. Nash was the only other Beaver in double figures with fourteen. The Mastodons begin the season at 0-3, losing their last two games by a combined total of three points. Oregon State improves to 2-1.
