Wiese Invited to USA National Training Camp
February 02, 2018 | Women's Basketball
Oregon State standout will participate in camp Feb. 9-11
CORVALLIS – Former Oregon State standout Sydney Wiese has been named as one of 22 players who are expected to participate in USA Basketball's National Team Training Camp Feb. 9-11 at the University of South Carolina.
Â
The camp features 16 players who have been selected to the 2017-20 USA National Team, along with six players (including Wiese) who were invited to participate by the USA Basketball Women's National Team Player Selection Committee in hopes of being named to the USA National Team pool.
Â
Wiese was invited to join USA's National Training Camp last September, but was unable to participate due to the Los Angeles' Sparks run to the WNBA Finals. The guard played for the Stars and Stripes at the World University Games in 2015, helping the USA win the gold medal.
Â
Wiese is one of 14 players in conference history to make the All-Pac-12 Coaches Team four times. The Phoenix, Ariz., native, who was named to the watch lists for the Wooden Award, Wade Trophy, Ann Meyers Drysdale Award and Lieberman Award, is the Pac-12's career record holder for 3-pointers. Wiese finished her career fifth in Oregon State history in career points, and holds the school record for career assists. Wiese led the Beavers with 15.2 points per game, as was among the top 16 in the nation in 3-point percentage during her senior campaign.
