Finally, a winning season for Beavers

David Lucas had 21 points and 14 rebounds, and Oregon State clinched its first winning season in 15 years with an 84-83 win over Stanford on Thursday night at Corvallis, Ore.

Jason Fontenet added 15 points for the Beavers (15-11, 7-8). Nick Dewitz and Sasa Cuic had 12 points each.

Stanford (15-10, 9-6) trailed nearly the entire game and lost to the Beavers for the first time in 12 meetings.

Chris Hernandez led the Cardinal with 29 points on 8-of-18 shooting and 10 of 11 free throws. Matt Harysz added 15 points and nine rebounds.

The Beavers led by nine with three minutes to go, but poor foul shooting opened the door for the Cardinal.

But Lucas hit two big baskets and the Beavers made enough free throws to hold off Stanford despite 3-pointers by Nick Robinson and Hernandez in the final 20 seconds.

The Beavers’ last winning season was 1990. Led by Gary Payton, that team won the Pac-10 and lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Oregon State, which has no conference road wins, ran its overall home record to 11-1.

The Cardinal had won three in a row and nine of their last 11.

They remain in third place in the conference.

The Beavers led 43-34 after a fast-paced first half where they shot nearly 50 percent and made six 3-pointers.
