Curry Earns Media Conference Honors
BERKELEY – California guard Jayda Curry was named to the All-Pac-12 team, as voted on by media who regularly cover the conference and announced by the conference office on Wednesday.
It is Curry’s second consecutive placement to the media All-Pac-12 Team and follows her earning All-Pac-12 honorable mention honors as voted on by the league’s coaches, which were announced yesterday morning.
Curry – who was named the 2021-22 Pac-12 Media Freshman of the Year and earned a slew of all-conference and all-freshman team honors a season ago – led all sophomores in the Pac-12 in scoring and ranked 22nd nationally among the class (15.5 points per game) this season. Curry was sixth overall in the Pac-12 in scoring, while finishing in the conference’s top 10 in 3-point field-goals made (58) and assists (105). She was the only player in the Pac-12 and one of eight Division I women’s basketball players nationally to make at least one 3-pointer in every game this season. Curry’s 51 consecutive regular-season games with a 3-pointer made is the longest streak in the Pac-12 dating back to at least the 1999-00 season (no statistical data available prior).
Cal is the 10th seed in this week’s Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Tournament and is slated to face seventh-seeded Washington State at 6 p.m. PST today at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas.
