Pivec Named Academic All-District

CORVALLIS – Junior Mikayla Pivec has been named to the Academic All-District First Team of the second-straight year, the College Sports Information Directors of America announced Thursday morning.

Pivec is a BioHealth Sciences major with a 3.93 overall GPA, and was a Pac-12 All-Academic First Team honoree in her sophomore season. In addition to her work in the classroom, Pivec works with numerous community service organizations, including Beavs Care, Community Outreach, Inc, and IMPACT.

On the court, the guard is averaging 14.0 points and a team-best 8.9 rebounds per contest this season. Pivec is the No. 1 rebounding guard in the Pac-12, and is seventh in the nation in terms of rebounds from the guard position. Additionally, she is shooting a blistering 53.8 percent from the floor, the sixth-best percentage by a guard in the nation.

Pivec has scored in double-figures in 22 of Oregon State's 26 games this season, and has tallied a total of five double-doubles. The junior became the 22^nd player in program history to reach the 1,000 career point mark last week at Oregon, and is among the top 13 in Oregon State history for career rebounds.

As a team, the Beavers are 21-5 on the season, and 11-3 in Pac-12 play. OSU is coming off a win over No. 2 Oregon Monday evening at a sold-out Gill Coliseum.

Oregon State will be back at Gill Coliseum Friday evening when USC visits Corvallis. For more information on that game, click here.
