A junior biohealth science major, Pivec is currently 14th in program history with 1,167 career points and ninth in career rebounds with 734.
The guard from Lynnwood, Wash. ended the year with six double-doubles in her final nine games, and averaging 19.2 points and 10.4 rebounds over that stretch. Pivec has earned back-to-back Pac-12 Academic First Team honors, and earned CoSIDA Academic All-America Second Team honors this season.
Slocum, who is one of five finalists for the Lieberman National Point Guard of the Year Award, led the Beavers with an average of 15.4 points per game this season. She shot 45.6 percent from the field, recorded 153 assists on the campaign, and earned All-Pac-12 honors at the end of the regular season.
