Weisner Named Second-Team All-American by ESPNW
March 11, 2016 | Women's Basketball
CORVALLIS – Oregon State senior Jamie Weisner added yet another honor to her collection Friday, as she was named a Second Team All-American by ESPNW.
Weisner, who was honored as Pac-12 Player of the Year last week, will go down as one of the best players in Oregon State history. She sits sixth in school history with 1,689 career points, and is second in program history in both 3-pointers made (241) and 3-point percentage (41.1). One of the best rebounding guard in the Pac-12 throughout her career, Weisner has tallied 14 career double-doubles and has pulled down 688 boards over the course of her four years, the eighth-best total for an Oregon State player.
The senior is averaging 17.3 points per game this season, the fourth-best total in the conference, and leads all Pac-12 guards in field goal percentage at 48.6 percent. The Kinesiology major is also shooting 44.5 percent from 3-point range and 87.3 percent from the free-throw line, making her one of the most efficient players in the country.
Possibly most impressively, the guard from Clarkston Washington has played her best in the big games, scoring 12 of her 18 points in the fourth-quarter of the Beavers' comeback at Stanford, and putting up 25 points against both Arizona State and UCLA. She came up big yet again in last weekend's Pac-12 Tournament, scoring at least 19 points in all three games, on her way to Most Outstanding Player honors.
Weisner and the Beavers will now await the NCAA Tournament Selection Show, which will take place on Monday. A watch party will be held at the Loge level of Reser Stadium. For more information, click here.
