STEPPING UP
Oregon State's starting five is stepping up across the board. Every member of the Beavers' first unit—Kelsey Rees (13.3), AJ Marotte (11.4), Cat Ferreira (9.2), Tiara Bolden (8.3), and Kennedie Shuler (8.3)—is averaging a career high in points per game. Sixth woman Sela Heide also owns a career-best mark with 7.4 points per game this season.

TOO REES-Y
In Kelsey Rees, Scott Rueck developed his latest first-team all-conference post. The senior averaged 14.5 points and 7.8 rebounds in WCC games and hitting career-highs in scoring and rebounding in her second year under Rueck's tutelage with 13.3 points (previous high: 4.9) and 7.7 rebounds (4.3). The senior was named the WCC Player of the Week after recording back-to-back career-highs with 21 and 25 points on the road in wins over Gonzaga and Portland. She also scored 24 to close the season at Pepperdine

CAT: LET'S DO THE WORK
Cat Ferreira always finds a way to impact the game. The senior is one of only two players in the WCC to rank in the league's top five in both rebounds and steals, pulling down 7.7 boards per game (5th) while swiping 2.1 steals per contest (4th). The only other player to match that versatility? LMU's Maya Hernandez.
