DONS AT A GLANCE:

• Within conference play, Ybarra ranks in the top five among WCC goalkeepers in both shutouts (1/T-1st) and saves per game (4.00/5th).
• Entering the new week, Kaitlyn Sasadeusz leads the charge offensively for the green and gold as the sophomore ranks second in the league in shots per game in WCC action (4.00).

SCOUTING THE BEAVERS:

• Following a subpar performance in its nonconference slate (2-6), Oregon State has begun WCC play with a 2-0-1 record in its first season as an affiliate member of the West Coast Conference. The Beavers are one of three undefeated teams in the WCC in conference action heading into Wednesday night along with #10 Santa Clara and #15 Pepperdine, who are both 2-0 in league play.
• Within WCC action, McKenna Martinez has excelled for the Beavers so far as the senior leads the league within conference play in both game-winning goals (one) and total shots on goal (six) along with tying for the second-most shots (10). Overall, Martinez leads the Beavers this season in points (six), shots (36), shots on goal (16) and game-winning goals (two).
• As a squad in WCC play, Oregon State ranks in the top five in the conference in shots on goal per game (4th, 6.33), points per game (T-3rd, 5.67), goals per game (4th, 2.00), assists per game (T-3rd, 1.667) and saves per game (4th, 5.33).
