Canes Set For Top-25 Showdown

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The No. 19/18 Miami women’s basketball team returns to the Watsco Center on Friday when it hosts No. 7/5 Oregon State in a top-25 showdown. Tip-off is slated for 2 p.m. and the game will air on ACC Network Extra with Alex Schwartz and Megan Perry on the call.

Seventh-ranked Oregon State remains undefeated through five games this year, and is coming off a WNIT Preseason Tournament victory. Four Beavers are averaging double-figures this season, led by Taylor Jones (16.4 points per game).
