Oregon State guard becomes fifth Academic All-American in program history
CORVALLIS – Junior standout Mikayla Pivec has been named the fifth Academic All-American in Oregon State women's basketball history, the College Sports Information Directors of America announced Monday morning.
Pivec made the Academic All-America Second Team, as she joins Juli Coleman, Chelle Flamoe, Ruth Hamblin and Sydney Wiese as Oregon State players to receive Academic All-America honors.
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 All-Pac-12 selection is averaging 14.9 points and a team-best 9.1 rebounds per contest this season. Pivec is the No. 1 rebounding guard in the Pac-12, and is eighth in the nation in terms of rebounds from the guard position. Additionally, she is shooting a blistering 54.4 percent from the floor, the fifth-best percentage by a guard in the nation.
Pivec has scored in double-figures in 27 of Oregon State's 31 games this season, and has tallied a total of eight double-doubles. The junior became the 22nd player in program history to reach the 1,000 career point mark earlier this season, and is among the top 10 in Oregon State history for career rebounds.
As a team, Oregon State will head into the postseason with a record of 24-7. The Beavers now await the NCAA Tournament Selection Show, which will take place on March 18.
