She averaged 14.5 points in OSU’s big wins over the Wildcats (78-48) and Sun Devils (66-43), going 10-for-21 from the field (.476) and 9-for-17 from long range (.529).

The Portland, Ore., native was named the Athlon Sports national player of the week and the Pac-12’s player of the week for games from Feb. 24-Mar. 2. Moser averaged 16.0 points, 16.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists to pace the Ducks. In the 87-83 double-overtime victory over UCLA, Moser recorded 20 rebounds, the most by an Oregon player in 37 years. Greg Ballard reached 20 boards in a five-overtime game versus California in 1977.

Oregon State freshmen Jake Thompson and Trent Shelton combined on a two-hitter and the Beavers stretched their winning streak over Portland to 19 consecutive games with a 5-0 victory over the Pilots before a crowd of 2,342 at Goss Stadium on Tuesday night. Designated hitter Gabe Clark doubled, singled, drove in a run and scored once and left fielder Michael Conforto drove in three runs for the Beavers (10-3 overall). They are 6-1 since suffering back-to-back losses to Nebraska and Michigan State in the first two games of the Aramark Pac-12/Big Ten Tournament at Surprise, Ariz., on Feb. 21-22. A right-hander from Siuslaw High School in Florence, Thompson (3-0) had a career-high seven strikeouts; his former best was three, in a seven-inning stint against Pacific on Feb. 17 in his career debut. It was also a season-high for Oregon State pitchers and he became the first pitcher in the Pacific-12 Conference this year to notch three wins.
