KNOXVILLE — Isabelle Harrison wasn’t looking for an extended workout, but the Tennessee center got it all the same.

Harrison tied her career high with 35 minutes and finished with 20 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks Sunday in leading No. 8 Tennessee past No. 10 Oregon State 74-63.

“I haven’t played that many minutes since last year,” Harrison said with a laugh. “You know, I got my cardio for sure today. It helped, but I just have to get used to that many minutes.”

Freshman Alexa Middleton added 12 points off the bench, and the Lady Vols (10-2) handed the Beavers (10-1) their first loss.

Tennessee has now defeated two straight top-10 opponents. The Lady Vols beat Stanford 59-40 on Dec. 20.
