Weisner Wraps Up 3-Game Week With Canada
CORVALLIS – Oregon State guard Jamie Weisner and the Canadian Women’s National Team wrapped up a three-game stint in Spain on Saturday, as the team continues its preparation for this summer’s Pan-American and World University Games.
Weisner saw action in two of the team’s three games, helping the squad to a 2-1 record on the week. Her week was highlighted by her performance in Canada’s win over Great Britain on Friday, when she finished with six points, one rebound and one assist.
Canada Basketball will announce the selection of its Pan-American and World University squads in early June.
Weisner was one of three Beavers to make the All-Pac-12 First Team this year, after leading the team with 13.7 points per game. She ended the year second among Pac-12 guards with 6.2 rebound per game, and shot 50 percent from the field and 45.1 percent from 3-point range during conference play. Weisner scored over 20 points five times this season, and earned ESPNW National Player of the Week honors back in January, after recording a pair of 20-point games in a 7-day span.
The 2014-15 season was the best in Beaver history, as Oregon State set a school record with 27 wins en route to the program’s first ever Pac-12 title. Along the way Oregon State proved it could beat the nation’s best teams, as it took down North Carolina on the road, swept Arizona State and defeated California.
The Beavers were in the national rankings throughout the season, moving as high as No. 7 before ending the season ranked 13th. Oregon State ranked in the top 25 in the country in eleven different statistical categories, including fifth in assists per game (18.6), ninth in field goal percentage (45.4) and 13th in field goal percentage defense (35.2). The historic season led to an increase in attendance, as the Beavers averaged a Pac-12 leading 4,167 fans per game, and welcomed 7,652 fans to Gill Coliseum for the Civil War on Jan. 9, the third-largest crowd in school history.
