FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Amy Patton posted her second double-double for the second night in a row as North Arizona women's basketball fell in the NAU Thanksgiving Classic championship game 62-33 to Oregon State at the Rolle Activity Center on Saturday. Patton and Jenna Galloway were selected all-tournament team.

NAU (1-6) was in early foul trouble with the Lumberjacks' two top scorers from Friday's win over Siena, Patton and Caty Huntington, picking up two fouls a piece in the first five minutes of play. The Lumberjacks shot just 24.0-percent in the first half scoring a season-low 13 points.

NAU struggled inside being outscored 14-0 on second-chance points in the first 20 minutes. Oregon State (4-1) entered halftime with a 21-point lead at 34-13.

The Lumberjacks played Oregon State closer in the second half cutting the Beaver lead to 15 points with an 11-3 run to open the final period of play. Oregon State answered immediately with a 12-2 run of its own keeping its lead above 20 for the remainder of the game.

Oregon State received a boost from its reserves outscoring the Lumberjacks 22-6 in bench scoring. The Beavers' Julie Butch chipped in eight points off the bench which helped her pick up all-tournament honors.

The Lumberjacks kept the Thanksgiving Classic's Most Valuable Player Talisa Rhea in check limiting her to six points on 3-of-13 shooting after she posted a tournament-high 25 points in Oregon State's 76-52 win over Belmont on Friday.

NAU shot 34.6-percent from the field in the second half finishing at 29.4-percent for the game. Patton totaled a team-high 14 points with 10 rebounds, her third double-double of the year. Galloway added eight points with five rebounds after recording her first double-double this season with 12 points and 10 rebounds on Friday.

The Lumberjacks will be back on the hardcourt next Friday, December 5 against Arkansas State at 3:35 p.m. at the Rolle Activity Center. Following Arkansas State, NAU will have one more home game on Thursday, December 10 against San Diego before hitting the road for four more road games prior to the conference season starting up in January.
