CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State center Marie Gulich has been named to the Naismith Trophy Watch List, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced Wednesday. The list highlights the top 50 candidates for the award, which recognizes the national player of the year.
Gulich is off to a strong start this season, leading the team with 15.2 points per game on 59.3 percent shooting from the floor. The senior is also averaging 8.0 rebounds per contest, and is third in the nation in blocks with 4.4 per game. Gulich has scored at least 15 points in four of Oregon State's five games this season, and has blocked at least three shots in every contest.
