Wiese opened the week by becoming the new Oregon State career record holder in 3-pointers in OSU’s win over No. 12 Arizona State on Friday. She finished the game with 15 points, shooting 6-for-11. The Phoenix, Ariz. native followed that up by scoring a season-high 20 points and knocking down a season-best six 3-pointers against Arizona on Sunday. Wiese hit on six of her eight 3-point attempts. She also recorded five assists in the game. Overall, Wiese shot 61.9 percent from the field and 53.3 percent from long range in the two games.
