Wiese Earns Third All-America Nod of Week
March 27, 2017 | Women's Basketball
Senior Named to USBWA All-America Squad
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Senior Sydney Wiese has been named to her third All-America team in as many days, as she was honored by the US Basketball Writers' Association on Wednesday. Wiese was tabbed as an All-American by both the Associated Press and the Wooden Award on Monday, and was selected as an ESPN All-American earlier this month.
Wiese is one of 14 players in conference history to make the All-Pac-12 Coaches Team four times. The senior, who has been 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. The senior 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 is among the top 16 in the nation in 3-point percentage.
A speech communication major, Wiese is a Senior CLASS Award Finalist, Pac-12 Scholar Athlete of the Year and an Academic All-America selection. The senior has launched her own web series in conjunction with Oregon State gymnast Megan Jimenez, and hopes to go into broadcasting at the conclusion of her playing career. She has also worked extensively in the community, donating her hair in a special Haircuts for Cancer ceremony last week, and participating in a Candlelighters for Cancer fishing trip over the summer.
As a team, Oregon State finished the season 31-5, posting the second-highest win total in program history. The Beavers' senior class tallied 114 wins over the course of their four years, a school record.
Â
Oregon State fans can watch Wiese on Thursday evening, as she competes in the ESPN 3-Point Shooting Contest, which will air live at 7 p.m. on ESPN.
