Four Ducks Collect All-Pac 12 Honors
02/28/23 | Women's Basketball
EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon senior Endyia Rogers was voted to the all-Pac-12 team for the third straight year, as she highlighted four Ducks who earned all-conference accolades in a vote of the league's head coaches, the conference office announced Tuesday.
UO freshmen Chance Gray and Grace VanSlooten were both selected to the conference's all-freshman team, while VanSlooten and junior Te-Hina Paopao were named all-Pac-12 honorable mention. Gray also garnered Pac-12 all-defensive team honorable mention recognition.
Rogers collects her second straight all-Pac-12 honor at Oregon while being voted to the team for the third straight season overall (once at USC). The Dallas, Texas, product is averaging a career-high and team-leading 16.1 points per game while finishing second in the Pac-12 in scoring during conference play at 18.2 points a contest.
Additionally, Rogers leads the Ducks with 113 assists (3.9 per game) while hauling in 121 rebounds (4.2 a game). She became just the fourth Duck since at least 1999-2000 to register a 400-point, 100-rebound, 100-assist season, and the first since Sabrina Ionescu in 2019-20. Her 2.34 assist-to-turnover ratio is second-best in the conference and she is currently the only player in the country to average at least 16.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while shooting at least 43.0 percent from three.
Paopao was an all-conference pick for the third straight season, as she was a first-team selection in 2021 and 2022. The junior guard from Oceanside, Calif., is averaging 11.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists. She has scored at least 20 points in each of her last three games, including a season-high 23 with a career-best seven 3-pointers in the regular-season finale against Arizona State.
VanSlooten was voted Pac-12 freshman of the week four times during the season and became the third player in conference history to sweep both player- and freshman-of-the-week honors on Dec. 26. The Toledo, Ohio, product led all Pac-12 freshmen in scoring during the regular season at 14.3 a game – fourth nationally among Power-5 freshmen – and logged a team-high five 20-point performances.
Gray has started all 29 games in her freshman campaign and is averaging 10.7 points per game while leading UO in free throw shooting at 90.6 percent. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native was named Pac-12 freshman of the week on Jan. 16 after scoring a career-high 22 points with five made 3-pointers against Washington State.
The pair of Gray and VanSlooten become the first UO teammates to be voted to the Pac-12's all-freshman team since Ruthy Hebard and Ionescu in 2017.
Oregon next heads to the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas as the No. 9 seed, where it will face eighth-seeded Washington in the first round Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. PT at Michelob ULTRA Arena (Pac-12 Network).
