CORVALLIS – Oregon State standouts Mikayla Pivec and Destiny Slocum will both head to Colorado Springs this summer as USA Basketball holds trials for the 2019 U.S. Pan American Games Women's Basketball Team.
Trials to select the 12-member team will take place May 16-20 at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The team members will return to Colorado Springs for training camp July 23-Aug. 5 before competing in the women's basketball tournament at the 2019 Pan American Games from Aug. 6-10 in Lima, Peru.
Pivec, an All-Pac-12 selection, averaged 15.2 points and 9.2 rebounds on the year. She shot 52.6 percent from the floor, the second-best percentage in the Pac-12 and the fifth-best percentage by a guard in the nation. 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 won a gold medal representing the US at the 2015 FIBA U19 World Cup, 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. Slocum was named to the watch lists for the Wooden Award and the Naismith Trophy.
The digital communication arts major is the sixth player in Oregon State history with multiple point-assist double doubles, and scored 20 points 12 times this season. Slocum was also selected as a Pac-12 Academic Second Team honoree this season.
As a team, the Beavers finished the 2018-19 season with a record of 26-8, one of the top-five records in program history. Oregon State made its fourth consecutive Sweet 16, and earned an NCAA Tournament berth for the sixth-straight year.
