Julie Seabrook could not have asked for a better night Saturday.

Playing in front of the Coors Events Center crowd for perhaps the last time, Seabrook had a double-double to help the Colorado women's basketball team to an impressive 67-57 win against Oregon State.

"It's awesome," said Seabrook, who had 11 points and 10 rebounds. "I'm kind of lost for words right now, but it's crazy how fast it went by and it was awesome to get a win tonight and to play well."

Freshman Lexy Kresl set career highs in points (20) and 3-pointers (six) as the Buffaloes won their home finale after going 1-8 in their previous nine games.

"That's the most important thing," Seabrook said of the win. "I don't really care how I play as long as we get a (win). We all played together and we played as a team and that's the most important thing."

Chucky Jeffery added 13 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for CU (17-12, 6-12 Pac-12), which wrapped up 10th place in the conference.

To get the win, the Buffs put together one of their finest performances. They dominated on the boards, played exceptional defense and hit key shots when they needed them to knock off the Beavers (18-11, 9-9).

"I thought they had a lot of confidence tonight," CU head coach Linda Lappe said of her players.

Kresl certainly did. She had 11 points by halftime and finished six-for-seven from 3-point range to top her previous career high of 17 points.

Thanks to senior Earlysia Marchbanks, Oregon State hung around all afternoon. Marchbanks turned in a solid all-around effort, finishing with 16 points, nine rebounds, eight steals and seven assists.

"She's a warrior," Oregon State coach Scott Rueck said. "In our two years here with her, it's been a total rebuild. She's set the tone for us."

Marchbanks got a steal and layup with 5:54 to play and helped Oregon State cut CU's lead to 48-43 going into the final four minutes. Kresl, however, drained back-to-back 3s to give the Buffs an 11-point lead. The Beavers never really threatened from there, as CU held on to a halftime lead for just the third time in eight tries during Pac-12 play.

CU rebounded well, especially in the second half, but also never let up on defense.

"We beared down on defense," Lappe said. "Defensively was the most important part and the most important change that I saw in our team."

CU's defense smothered Oregon State during the first 16-plus minutes, holding the Beavers without a field goal for a 12-minute, 23-second stretch of the half. During that time, CU went on a 14-2 run and built a 19-9 lead.

Oregon State closed the half with 12 points in the final 4:40 to cut the CU lead to 27-21 at the break, but CU held the lead throughout the second half.

"We did a lot better job on the boards today and they didn't get that momentum as other teams have in the past," Seabrook said. "That was a major change that we made for this game."

The biggest change may have been CU's overall focus, however, and it was clear they wanted this one for Seabrook. The whole day was for her, including CU assistant sports information director Linda Sprouse singing the Canadian national anthem before the game.

"Tonight it was easy to play hard because we wanted Julie to go out with a win," Lappe said.

Finishing with a win made for a great day for Seabrook. There's a chance she'll play here again if the Buffs reach the WNIT, but the memories of this one ought to last a while.

"For me being a pretty emotional person, I think I did a pretty good job of keeping it under wraps," she said. "It just means I'll probably go home and cry later."
