Timea Gardiner scored 21, Raegan Beers added 18 points and Oregon State stymied Notre Dame star Hannah Hidalgo to beat the Irish 70-65 and advance to their first regional final in six years.
Donovyn Hunter added 11 points for the Beavers, who will face overall top-seed South Carolina on Sunday. Sonia Citron scored 22 points and Maddy Westbeld added 19 points for second-seeded Notre Dame.
