On Tuesday, the Pac-12 announced its year-end women’s basketball all-conference honors, and the Oregon Ducks were well-represented.

In total, four Ducks received all-conference recognition.

Oregon senior guard Endyia Rogers was named to the all-conference team for the third time in her career. She received the honor once at USC before transferring to UO.

This season, Rogers averaged 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 per game. She also led the Ducks with 3.9 assists per game.

Junior guard Te-Hina Paopao was an honorable mention all-conference selection. This marks the third time in her career that she has received all-conference recognition after she was a first-team pick in 2021 and 2022. Paopao averaged 11.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game.

Ducks’ freshman forward Grace VanSlooten landed on the Pac-12’s all-freshman team and was also an honorable mention all-conference pick. In her debut season, she led all Pac-12 freshmen in scoring during the regular season at 14.3 a game, which ranked fourth nationally among Power-5 freshmen.

Additionally, freshman guard Chance Gray also landed on the Pac-12’s all-freshman team. She started all 29 games during the regular season and averaged 10.7 points per game while leading Oregon in free throw shooting at 90.6 percent.

Utah forward Alissa Pili was named the Pac-12 player of the year.

Stanford forward and Portland, Ore., native Cameron Brink was named the Pac-12 defensive player of the year.

Oregon State’s Reagan Beers was named both the freshman and sixth player of the year.

Arizona’s Shaina Pellington and Colorado’s Aaronette Vonleh were each named co-most improved player of the year.

Utah’s Lynne Roberts was selected as the Pac-12 coach of the year.

**Oregon’s Te-Hina Paopao named Pac-12 Player of the Week**

After a sensational run of games over the past week, Oregon junior guard Te-Hina Paopao has been named the Pac-12 player of the week.

This marks the first time in her career that Paopao, who helped lead the Ducks to a sweep of the Arizona schools over the weekend, has received the honor.

Over the course of two games, Paopao averaged 22.0 points while shooting 63.3 percent from the field (14-for-22) and 66.7 percent from three (12-of-18). She also averaged 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.

During the program’s senior day on Sunday, Paopao scored a season-high 23 points in a 77-48 win over Arizona State. She buried a career-high 3-pointers — six of which came during the first half.
