Oregon guard Micaela Cocks garnered All-Pacific-10 Conference third team honors, and several of her teammates picked up honorable mentions.
Cocks, a junior from Auckland, New Zealand, led the Ducks in scoring (13.5 points per game) and minutes played (36.8 minutes per game, second in the conference). She shot 37.8 percent from the field and 39.9 percent on three-point attempts, and her 67 three-point field goals is the second-highest conference mark.
Guard Taylor Lilley also earned an All-Pac-10 honorable mention. The junior from Newhall, Calif. was Oregon’s second-leading scorer (10.5 points per game) despite missing eight games with a shin injury and a concussion. She also led the Ducks with 68 assists on the year.
Duck freshmen forwards Amanda Johnson and Jasmin Holliday also earned honorable mention honors for the Pac-10 All-Freshman team. Johnson started 24 of 29 games this season and became the first Oregon freshman since current Duck head coach Bev Smith (1978-79) to lead the team in rebounding (5.4 per game) and steals (1.4 per game). She finished fourth on the team in scoring with 7.9 points per game.
Holliday, from Chino Hills, Calif., started 19 games and averaged 5.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game while shooting 44.7 percent from the field, the best mark on the Ducks. She also ranked second to Johnson with 1.2 steals per game.
