Ep. 2 | From OSU to the WNBA

Sydney Wiese, '17

You know her as the star point guard on one of the best Oregon State University Women’s Basketball teams ever and a current player for the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks, but even with all of that success, Sydney Wiese '17 is still trying to figure out life after college just like everyone else.

In this episode, we sit down with the Beaver legend to discuss her experience at the Final Four, dealing with COVID-19, her insights about our role in standing up against racism, and settling into a new city and creating a routine without the structure of college life.
