TGS Old Girl Micaela Cocks Finishes Outstanding College Career

Cocks, recently voted Offensive MVP by her University of Oregon team-mates, is one of 15 named to the conference selection, alongside fellow Duck Taylor Lilley.

Last year, she was selected to the conference third team, but the Pac-10 changed to naming just one team of 15 student athletes for 2009/10.

Cocks, perhaps the fittest player on the Oregon roster, flourished in Paul Westhead’s up-tempo system this year, averaging 14.9 points (41.5% FG) and 3.3 rebounds.

Her 121 games over four years is fourth on the UO all-time list and her 86.1% career shooting from the free-throw is a school record. Cocks scored in double figures in 25 of 30 games this season and converted 8/8 three-point plays.

Oregon were eliminated 76-80 by University of Southern California in the conference tournament quarterfinals with Cocks contributing nine points (3/11 FG, 1/2 3pt, 2/2 FT), five assists and three rebounds.

Meanwhile, Ferns centre Rebecca Dew finished her sophomore season with University of Hawaii with four points, three rebounds, an assist and a block as the Rainbow Wahine fell 55-83 to top seeds Fresno State at the Western Athletic Conference tournament.

Dew started 21 of 30 games, averaging 4.8 points and 4.6 rebounds in 15.4 minutes
