Senior earns another piece of national recognition
CORVALLIS – Oregon State standout Sydney Wiese has been named to the Ann Meyers Drysdale Midseason Watch List, the U.S. Basketball Writers Association announced Tuesday.
Wiese is one of 28 players to make the list, which highlights the top candidate for the USWBA's National Player of the Year honor. Balloting for the award will take place in March, with the winner being honored at the Women's Final Four.
Wiese, who has already been named to the watch lists for the Wooden Award, Naismith Trophy, Wade Trophy and Lieberman Award, is the Pac-12's career record holder for 3-pointers. The senior is already in the top-eight in Oregon State history in career points, and is second in the program in career assists. Wiese leads the Beavers 15.2 points per game, as is among the top seven in the nation in 3-point percentage.
Off the floor, Wiese is a Senior CLASS Award candidate. The Speech Communication major is a two-time Pac-12 All-Academic honoree, and has launched her own web series in conjunction with Oregon State gymnast Megan Jimenez.
As a team, Oregon State is currently ranked No. 11 in both national polls, and is tied for first in the Pac-12 with a conference record of 7-1. The Beavers will head to Eugene to take on Oregon on Friday, before returning home on Sunday for their second matchup with the Ducks. Sunday's game will tip off at 11 a.m. and will air live on ESPNU.
