The Beavers had an incredible week with two key victories to enable this jump, including overcoming a two-goal deficit to defeat former No. 23 UCLA, 4-3. The second ranked victory came from a win over previous No. 13 San Diego State, where Oregon State blanked the Aztecs 2-0.
Oregon State is to 6-1-1 on the season and 2-0 in the Pac-12. The Beavers haven't lost since Sept. 6, going 3-0-1 since then.
