Oregon State center earns national recognition from Her Hoop Stats
CORVALLIS – Oregon State standout Taylor Jones has been named a Freshman "Fab 15" Honorable Mention, Her Hoop Stats announced Thursday in conjunction with women's basketball media legend Mel Greenberg.
Jones, who was named as one of ESPN's Top-10 Freshmen earlier this month, was a Pac-12 All-Freshman selection this season, and was chosen as an All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention. She was a three-time conference Freshman of the Week, and was named USBWA National Freshman of the Week in January.
Jones etched her name into the Oregon State freshman record book, setting the freshman record for blocks and sitting second in freshman rebounds and sixth in freshman scoring. The Forney, Texas native averaged 12.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, and finished second in the Pac-12 in field goal percentage at 58.3. Overall, the first year player had 10 double-doubles and 21 double-figure scoring games.
Oregon State finished the 2019-20 season with a record of 23-9 and was projected as a likely host for the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament. One of the most successful programs in the last decade of the sport, the Beavers have made the last four Sweet 16's, including a Final Four appearance in 2016. Oregon State's 165 wins since the start of the 2014-15 season is among the top-nine victory totals in the nation over that span.
